| 273563 | 2004-09-20 11:56:00 | Total newbie here , the wideranging discussions that take part here are part of the attraction IMHO , there's a heck of a lot of excellent tech advise available [ sometimes topics come and go and I've no idea at all what they were all about ... :8} ] and people give genuine good advise which is great , however there's some fun to be had in the OT stuff ... that word game must be nearing 1000 posts , the Monday humour , advise on weedkillers / roofing etc it all adds to the good feel of the place , a sense of community if you like . A seperate OT site mayn't work so well . As for the flames .. , families argue , it's just part of life Mike |

There's nothing wrong with a good healthy debate but some people can't help resorting to personal abuse. That, very sadly, drives a lot of people undercover. |

With respect Bruce, this isn't a huge forum. It doesn't get clogged up with new threads every 5 minutes. It isn't hard to ignore OT threads or skim past irrelevancies. I just cannot see the point of a second forum. I like the sense of family/community where discussions range freely. Ultimately everyone has an interest in computing or they would not be here. Keep up the good work. |

| 273566 | 2004-09-20 22:53:00 | The good thing about PressF1 is that all the posts are on the one page, you dont have to go trawling through sub forums just to find threads that interest you. Also if its just one forum then n00bs dont have to worry about putting their post in the wrong forum. | Pete O'Neil (250) | ||
| 273567 | 2004-09-20 23:04:00 | >I just cannot see the point of a second forum. PressF1 is supposed to be a tech help forum. It gets other stuff going on here because - well there's nowhere else for it to go. Any second forum would most likely be linked to the mag and articles/news there-in. There are topics to discuss beyond tech problems and for the sake of clairity I think a second place to discuss these things would be good, so that PressF1 can get back to its roots. I don't think 2 forums is overkill - I certainly wouldn't be suggesting this (www.cfcforums.com) or this (http://www.gpforums.co.nz/) but I think we can improve on one big dumping ground. |

| 273568 | 2004-09-21 01:11:00 | Are you suggesting a completely different forum Bruce? If a separate discussion area is to done, and there are merits both ways as always, my preference would be for a tabbed page or divider on the same page with PF1 that could be tweaked in your Preferences > View or something like that . Not getting too far ahead am I? The idea of general issues raised, in say the magazine or elsewhere on IDG, is a good one . Discussion could be prompted :) by a synopsis of a particular article being posted on the board, eg: one of Geoff's consumer articles or Robo's gadget round-ups . It would be good feedback for the mag and the products (user experience, etc) Cheers Murray P |

| 273569 | 2004-09-21 01:14:00 | Splitting it in 2 is a good idea,but they would imo still have to be the same forum,just one for general discussion and off topic,and one for specific computer problems. | metla (154) | ||
| 273570 | 2004-09-21 01:17:00 | And how soon can we get it done?,im all set to post another "show us ya desktop" thread,a thread about the evils of Telecom,and a good old fashioned AMD VS intel debate . . . . And i might aproach the destiny church about a campaign against the evils sims games are inflicting on our male offspring,im sure they can make a direct link between Doll house simulators,pink hotpants and same sex marriges . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
