wildteen88 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 New forums will only be made if there is much demand. There would be no point in creating a computer help forum if only a few posts/threads are posted a month/year. Anyway a computer help forum does not quite fit in seeing as we're a PHP support community. For now any computer related help would be better of within the Misc forum.

Maq Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 It would be nice to have a computer forum here so that people can post computer questions Ever since I've been here, which hasn't been that long, I have only seen 2 computer related threads... I agree with wildteen in that, I think it would be better to leave that to the Miscellaneous section...

.josh Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I see them come up on occasion. Maybe once every 2-4 weeks or so. And even then, they cover a wide range. Questions about OSs, vs. random software vs. hardware. Fixing vs. upgrading vs. Buying new xyz. TBH though, even if there were a lot of questions coming in on a consistent basis, I'm not sure I'd agree to having a forum for that. Our community is for a specific thing: PHP. We allow other things that are related to PHP, depending on how directly they are related to PHP. IMO a 'Computer' forum is stretching it too far. I mean, if we were to somehow (mysteriously, no doubt) start getting a ton of traffic related to dogs, would we make a forum for them? I would hope not... I would agree that computers are more closely related to PHP than dogs, but that doesn't mean it's related enough.

nrg_alpha Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I mean, if we were to somehow (mysteriously, no doubt) start getting a ton of traffic related to dogs, would we make a forum for them? If we start getting some heavy thread traffic regarding dogs, we have a very serious problem (because it should be cats instead).
