so where is general discussions for computers


Recommended Posts

since bangbang023 unceremoniously closed my thread https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=179240 without letting other members and ADMINISTRATORS to properly address this issue,

and since you all say that "general discussion" is not only for computers, WHERE is "general discussion" forum for computers?

i don't want to go to that garbage dump and see all those retarded threads.

where am i supposed to post computer related topics that don't fit in any of the dedicated categories?

Yea, there should be one for computers and one for The Simpsons! :D :p

Thing is you cant talk about tech things in the main forum, because the topics get moved. Take the topic about the mercora radio network that got moved to software discussion. I think it was better placed in general because it generates more interest in their.

i have noticed a need for that sort of thing ( i hang around there alot .. and it shows in my profile :whistle:)

i wouldnt mind if there was a general discussion for computers... i mean there are just some things that dont fit modding or normal hardware discussion or help

and dont go elsewhere either

id be all for it

Well when you look at the numbers, Hardware Hangout is one of the most active forums on Neowin, so I'm sure any Computer related technical discussion can be put in there with no problem.

actually General Discussion IS for computer discussion that doesnt fit into any of the help forums, so I'll make sure that our mods are aware of this..

General Discussion is not an off topic forum we have others that cater for that (Members Metropolis).

Since this is the case, shouldn't "Jokes and Funny Stuff" and "Poll Station" be moved to somewhere else? They seem lost.

Then.....don't.

I agree, what is your problem Mxxcon you don't have to view those posts if you don't like them, just sift and find the one that appeals to you. Like I have suggested before you don't have to view the ones you don't like.

"General Discussion for computers?" You are at a tech site, where there are forums/sections on specialized computer topics, why would you see a "General Discussion for computers" here? This is a tech forum(majorly) and people come here specially(mostly) to discuss computers. I'm pretty sure we have sections covered for almost all kinds of computer talks, but even then like Neobond stated, you CAN discuss about computers in general in the General Discussion forum. However, If you are strictly looking for a "General Discussion for computers", then I suggest a site that's not tech related, those sites are more likely to have a General Discussion for computers forum, that discuss generally about computers and nothing else. But since we cater to not only tech topics, General discussion will contain both tech/computers and non-tech related discussions.

I think anyone who has posted AFTER neobond, needs to re-read his post.

How I interpret his post (I could be way off) The Current General Discussion forum is for General Computer Discussion. It is NOT for, as neobond stated, off-topic discussion.

ive never got that impression in my whole time here.. they always seem to move anything tech related straight to hardware.. and the banter continues... i know thats changed now (and the mods wont move them all ) but still

ive always thought of that forum as general chat rather than general tech....

That was my understanding of that forum until I read neobond's post. I rarely went into that forum unless I was bored and had some time to kill.
