I agree... I think this would be an excellent idea. I dont usually ask homework questions on this forum, but I'm sure if their was a specific forum I would probably ask a question from time to time... Plus, a lot of people are willing to help eachother out and threads asking for homework help go at least a few pages. I think it would be a beautiful addition to the forums, and it could relate pretty well.

No. I think it is a rather poor idea. These kinds of posts can just as easily belong in general. There is no need to categorise everything. Too many forums or sub forums equals clutter. It is not necessary. Ultimately Neowin is a tech site. We are not here to help you with your homework. Just keep this stuff to general. This does not warrant a new forum.

You just don't like moving posts around. :D

I say we definitely vote on it.

Nah, I'm sure there are people here who can help you with all those things - we just don't need a seperate forum for everthing, toiletries, pets... :D

The problem is that in a lot of the existing homework threads I've seen, half the people will say "do it yourself" or "this isn't a homework help forum".

It may also encourage people to just ask for straight answers for entire homesworks (i've seen people do that as well)

This thread is four years old...Way (way [way {way}]) beyond the one month g limit of threads. ;)

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
