And basically you are running the forums.
Your point being? I know little about server/software configuration and what our java based servers support. Im not the one to lobby for a change in software. Sam sets this up out of goodwill and knows Im happy to admin things.
And it isnt? Actually I thought that was exactly what it had become, although it could also be described as a bitching area too.
There is a strong lifestyle forums userbase, but we are still a technical forum at heart even if the userbase is diminished. I know few people with as much computing knowledge as some of the chaps here. Im an avid DVD Forums reader and Im proud to say some of our geeks put their flock there to shame and not just when it comes to computers too
Im running 1360 * 1024 and still have to scroll down to see Sports and Hobbies or anything below it. TBH its a reasonable compromise but perhaps there are better options?
Id welcome any suggestions you might have.
And thats totally unfair, if you are the only one who is happy with it then it still wouldnt be changed back.
Now that I take as totally unfair. You know I would work in the majority favour, not in my own interests. I made these changes to test the waters, not for my own benefit. Im not paid to be passionate about this place.
What about those who didnt?
Personally I think that the Lifestyle section is too big, it needs splitting. Shove games and consoles in with the technical. Then split whats left above entertainment. The talk ones can become discussion and the rest stay as Lifestyle.
Shopping and trade deserve to be at the bottom.
Those that didnt should speak up regardless.
I think games would fit in better with entertainment, although my feelings are that hardware should still be seperate from software, i.e questions about the latest Samsung Blu Ray player having a HDMI 1.2 or 1.3 in technical, ravings about the new Xbox 360 Project Gotham in lifestyle/entertainment. Discussion *is* lifestlyle, I dont see where you are drawing the distinction?
