tekforums / tekheads
on: January 04, 2008, 11:36:00 AM
Tekheads, as you know, I sold many years ago. However I am still involved with them on a part time basis and they have mentioned to me they would love Tekforums to become the official tekheads forums again. I think it would be good because it will bring in some new members and guarantee the future of the forums. Nige and myself would continue to admin it, wed add a new support subsection that Kris from Tekheads would post in.

So I am putting this to the vote and well do what the community want.

I wasnt personally in favour assuming the focus of the forums was going to change, but if the only change is going to be an additional Tekheads related section then Im more in favour.

The forum focus will not change, all we want is a section for customers with order issues and technical queries to post for support. We will also have a special offer section where we will post deals just for you guys.

Bringing tekforums back to tekheads will do wonders for your traffic and new signups.

Happy new year all btw

voted no but only because its nice to be able to list other suppliers when someone asks for a machine.  As long as people dont get jumpy about us listing the cheapest suppliers etc when asked what to buy then its cool.

A few other forums who are linked to one shop started introducing rules where you couldnt mention other companies or link system components from them which gets annoying pretty fast.  No company will be the cheapest on everything.  Common sense says most of us would send people to tek anyway but it would be uncool if it were imposed... :)

So long as it is simply an additional section to the techincal side of the forums rather than the focus of the forums, (which has allready been made clear), then yes I am all for it.

Best thing we could really hope for to drag new members in. :)

A few other forums get edgy about linking to other online suppliers when theyre linked to one.  Something to watch for.



hmm hadnt thoguht of that - thats why your the clever one Steve!!  yeah it would suck not to be able to post links to other suppliers.

It wont bother us as long as it is not posted in our own Sub Section, be good for us too to keep our prices low, we offer price matching anyway so should be able to match almost anyone out there

thats cool then - its usually in general hardware where people ask for suggested systems anyway so shouldnt be an issue then. :)

Realistically if tek stock it most of the members on here price match using you guys anyway.
