    Hi guys,

    I quite like the idea of a "free resource" board. It could go in the B/S/T section and would be a good place for everyone to put together free resources that they have found.

    What do you think?

    Yes, I would be certainly interested in the content of that board. Good suggestion.

    That is a good idea actually. One concern is that people will start putting all sort of crap (in order to promote their products/ebooks etc.) so, it will have to be moderated somehow...

    I think it will be too hard to moderator as people will post about alot of free domains etc offers so that is kind of sapm and too hard to moderate!

    Overall seems to be a fairly positive reaction to this idea. There are a few concerns, but i think they could be worked out

    Yeah i thought about that, but in fact it might make life easier for mods as it would keep that stuff out of other boards (a bit like the politics board)
    This board does'nt have to be just for tools, it can be for anything that is free - so i think it would be of real value.

    Cheers for comments (and rep!)

    why would it be spammed anymore than any of the other boards, I dont really see the logic behind that line of arguement. If people are going to spam they are going to spam anyway (and anywhere).

    Maybe this goes against the philosophy of the forum (or maybe not): only people with more than one green blob could post in that section. That would greatly increase the quality of postings.

    Only threads that are intended to end with a transaction should go in B/S/T. Mere sharing of a resource should not go there in the first place. They can go in other appropriate fora as long as the rule that reads "don't post nothing but a link" is observed. Just start a discussion about it - this is not a resource directory but a discussion forum.
