I know that! That's why you should try extra hard to make sure your choices are meaningful in the first place.

The time has come, most definitely!

Opera is worthy of equal time, at least, I think.

Maybe. But then we need a khtml (Safari, Omniweb, Shiira, Konqueror...) sub-forum as well!

Probably not goint to happend.

Sure -- I've never used Opera in my life, but given that Mozilla and IE have their own forums, it makes sense to have the next most popular browser (correct me if I'm wrong here, apologies) with their own forum.

ur opinions ?

We need subforum for Opera topics and questions!

This is stupid reason. Opera more more popular than other exotic browser like Safari, Konquerror etc. There many topics about Opera but there no one about Omniweb and other exotic.

Apr 22 2005, 08:14

I strongly agree. Opera is one another popular browser and it would make sense to make a sub-forum for it. Look at all the Opera topics in the Web Browser Dicussion forum talking about Opera.

Neowin Staff, it's your call, but I think it's a great idea to keep browser discussion tidy. Make it easier for people to search for help on a particular browser.

x-byte

Apr 22 2005, 08:24

Of course...I agree. Atm almost the whole first page is Opera related (have 30 threads pr. page.)

Apr 22 2005, 09:28

like [X]-bYtE said there are loads of opera topics on the web browser discussion board so it makes sense to have them in a sub forum, it would be better for new people as well because they would know where to put topics related to opera.

Apr 22 2005, 12:19

I would like to see the inclusion of a subforum for Opera, though I also agree with what I'm sure the official response will be (That this influx of threads is to be expected because of the new release, in a month or two the Opera topic will be no more popular than normal)

you are right. in a coupld of weeks, the emphasis will drop as normal
we got more posts because of new version 8, that's all

Agreed on that, but still Opera is good browser and deserves to have his own sub-forum.
Otherwise the official Opera forums are a better place to go with problems

I disagree.

If you look at Web Browser section, most of threads are about Opera, reflecting its increasing popularity.

On the other hand, I can't find a single thread about KTHML or so-called "awesome browsers", and it would be unnecessary clutter and waste of space if subforum for those browsers was made.

It's about time mods can't just answer "Opera isn't popular enough" and get away, because Opera apparently IS a popular browser now.

Apr 22 2005, 14:57

We are monitoring the situation. As with any big release, a lot of threads from new users are expected. We need ot make sure that this isn't just a "what's hot" influx before making a final decision.

Apr 22 2005, 15:03

meh, i would like a sub-forum but I'm not going to hold my breath.

If I have any questions about opera I just visit their forum anyway.

Why not? I've been using the paid for version for 2 days now

and I must say that I'm really impressed with the speed and functionalty. I think firefox is gonna take a back seat on my PC for a while.

Johnston

Apr 22 2005, 15:08

yes def! ive been waiting for this so long, firefox has one, internet explorer has one and so should opera, especially now opera 8 is out, and more people are using opera than ever. please please get this done

DrunknMunky

Apr 22 2005, 15:20

The time came a long long time ago, but of course, Neowin is infested with FF fanboys, so I wouldn't count on it happening..

Opera has been growing steadily and one of the biggest competitors, it really does deserves a subforum of its own.

Rix

Apr 22 2005, 15:30

Well, i'd think a bit of my sig should tell you my answer

But yeh, i think we should wait a bit just in case it all dies off

megamanXplosion

Apr 22 2005, 15:32

I also think that an Opera sub-forum would be nice. I agree that most of the posts lately are because of the new release, but it's not going to vanish to the depths of nowhere. I think that a sub-forum would increase the amount of topics about Opera, it's sort of like knowing where you belong. It would also be nice to have a localized space for us to share information about Opera, like how to customize menus, toolbars, skins, mouse, keyboard, etc.

ill htink of neowin if there isnt an opera section
i have friends who are opera users and they are as dedicated to opera as i am to FX
i cant htink of why there isnt arleady one..but it seems like opera is really shadowed on neowin

nezermundy

Apr 22 2005, 15:40

I think there should be a Opera and khtml

I don't see a Netscape one.

Thats easily as well known as Opera at this point.

A new sub forum is 2 minutes work, tops.

If it sinks, its another 2 minutes to delete.

What exactly is the problem?

eth3l

Apr 22 2005, 16:55

The problem is it shows support for Opera, and God forbid the mods support anything other than Firefox!

jedrzej

Apr 22 2005, 18:36

yeah. A subforum for Opera would be a good one. There's no reason as to why there isn't one.

Where's "There should have been one made when Mozilla got its sub forum ages ago"

vcv

Apr 22 2005, 18:49

I think this place is a joke if they don't make an Opera subforum now. Just look at all the Opera threads being created now. Back last year when it was requested, they said no because there wasn't enough Opera traffic. Well now there is, so where is it? Create it, or apologize for lying.

Just relax. We are monitoring it. Like bangbang said, if this influx of post isn't just an effect of the "new version" interest burst, then it will be implemented.

NO, Neowin has consuetude to forbid Opera.

Why Mozilla browsers have subforum? Why opera does not have yet? This is discrimination!

Opera / KHTML (Safari, Konquerer) subforum would be best since they have about same market share
