Although I still think AutoPatcher XP should be made a main topic instead of a sub-forum. But that's just because I have a big ego. :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I do not like the Gaming Stuff to be part of generalized support. (N) Gaming is its own world. it has no premace in the Support Area for Software and Hardware and Internet etc.. newGeneral Help & Discussion Center Drivers Drive-In - Gamers Hangout +-- Console Gamer +-- PC Gamer Hardware Hangout Internet, Network & Security Overclocking and PC Modding PAD, Tablet & Mobile Devices Reviews by Members for Members <- new! Software Discussion & Assistance Keep the gaming stuff seperate please. I'm more inclined to when you just wanted to move Help & Support Center to the top. I'd be in favor of that now more over this. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aem4162 Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 it looks lovely!!!!
