General Tech or Software Forum

    I just posted a question about AntiSpam software in General Chat. Looking at the posts in that forum, it seems inappropriate to post anything that actually matters or has a point. However, there doesn't seem to be any other place at DP to post such questions or topics.

    Any chance we can get one? A general tech or computers Q&A forum without all the "happy birthday" and "are you still a virgin" threads?

    Things have degenerated badly since the old days because of all the new members Minstrel, just growing pains man, a few sub forums in there would be a great idea, maybe even a Wacko Forum where a lot of those threads could be moved to with Nintendo as moderator (trouble maker) :eek: :eek:

    I could see general tech/software forum being pretty useful.

    Yeah... A "Hardware / Software" forum is already on the short list of new forums coming.

    Uh, ever since they moved political and religion the GC has been filled with subjects that not many but very young kids read, we are not that young any more last time I looked Minstrel.

    But the kids need a place too!

    That's actually a good idea, an underground underground Wacko board where all the idiotic threads are moved and you can rule over the idiotic threads! :eek: :eek:

    You don't know, I think it would be a great place to move the bad threads out of public general chat and then you would have something to do other than driving normal members insane! :cool:

    Minstrel for moderator! :D
