Computer/Webmaster forums suggestion
 
I've always wondered why the Webmasters' Discussion is in the Official Forums category, because it really sticks out there. My suggestion is that we move Computer Help and Discussion out of Other Chat and put it directly under the Offtopic Discussion category, and then move Webmasters' into it as a subforum. Not only does it make more sense in terms of where things fit in, but it helps with modding too. It would mean Other Chat mods don't have to take care of an area that's not what they know about, and Gary and I (when I return) can just be modded in CH&D without an extra entry in Webmasters'. And if there's a worry about the number of subforums' subforums with Resources and the new suggestion of Advertising, there's a precedent where Sprites is a subforum of Art and it has two subforums itself.

Kipkip February 18th, 2005 4:41 AM

I think that's a good idea. This way I won't forget about Computers often as I do because Other Chat blocks it to a link. They do seem to go together too and it would make it easy to mod.

Claire February 18th, 2005 4:42 AM

Don't see why not -the section could then be renamed Computers & Webmasters Discussion

Kyogre-chan February 18th, 2005 4:46 AM

What a great idea. I always wondered why CH&D is attached to OC. o.o; Anyway, I support this.

Geometric-sama February 18th, 2005 5:06 AM

Pure genius, this idea. Congrats to whoever suggested it.

Hang on, I suggested it. XD :P

aRedMoon February 18th, 2005 8:36 PM

Erm... no.

Steve/Kwesi won't have Webbies moved out of OF. Or Steve at least won't allow it.


And Webbies/Computers should never be mixed together. If anything, make a new category for "Technology" and place them in it. :-/

Geometric-sama February 18th, 2005 9:14 PM

Nono, I said place Webbies as a subforum UNDER computers. Doesn't anyone ever listen?

aRedMoon February 18th, 2005 10:20 PM

I know. They shouldn't be merged at all. >>

Rukario February 18th, 2005 10:53 PM

webbies stays in Official Forums section...

Geometric-sama February 19th, 2005 4:02 AM

But it doesn't make any SENSE.... and how does Computers fit into Other Chat anyway?

Then how about taking that new combined Computer and Webmaster forum into the Official Section?

Geometric-sama February 19th, 2005 4:34 AM

That would make more sense. I like that >_>

Claire February 19th, 2005 5:08 AM

Ya, it'd stay in Of. for definate, but:

It would suit that more than OC imo ^^;

aRedMoon February 19th, 2005 7:17 AM

When the Computers forum was originally suggested in the lounge, the idea of just merging it with Webbies was unliked.

What I would like is do something like a "Technology" no-post forum, and then put computers and webbies in there as subbies. Also do the sub-forum idea that was proposed in Webbies that others seemed to like.

Trikip February 19th, 2005 7:41 AM

I like the idea JA. I mean, how is Webmasters Discussion official?

well they're not that closely related.. as WD is aimed at Pokemon Webmasters (even thouhgh any webby can use it) computers is 'Other Chat' so they are in their correct places.

Imakuni? February 19th, 2005 8:16 AM

I think we need a technology category- for the webbies, and computer sections

Geometric-sama February 20th, 2005 2:57 AM

I was about to suggest what Greg suggested in his last post but then I read it. >_>

aRedMoon February 24th, 2005 2:44 PM

Bump up for the technology category/forum =3

It's a good idea, it really is. =3

Geometric-sama February 28th, 2005 8:12 PM

*yet another bump*

It'd be a good idea to have a tech section especially now we've redone the whole Webmasters' and all. How about a thingy? You know. Programming forum. Like I always wanted :P

aRedMoon February 28th, 2005 9:09 PM

A tech category would pwn.

Too bad no one listens...

Geometric-sama February 28th, 2005 9:10 PM

Could we petition the admins? XD

aRedMoon February 28th, 2005 9:13 PM

That's implying that they'd ever read it.

Geometric-sama February 28th, 2005 9:15 PM

I'm sure we could, ahem, "force" something. *calls on the hackers to hack PC XD*

aRedMoon February 28th, 2005 9:16 PM

Yeah, they'd fix the hacking and then vanish again. Such is the life of PC admins.

Geometric-sama February 28th, 2005 9:17 PM

But the hackers could add our tech category. Maybe the admins wouldn't notice ^^

Abby was never a will'o'wisp like that....

*loves our sp4mm4ge threads XD*

aRedMoon February 28th, 2005 9:18 PM

Well, the staff admin might notice, and he'd take them down. :(

Kyogre-chan February 28th, 2005 9:20 PM

We could petition them, but the only active admins nowadays have already replied to this thread... o.o

Geometric-sama February 28th, 2005 9:21 PM

A staff admin is not a true administrator.

aRedMoon February 28th, 2005 9:21 PM

I still agree with Casey's sig, nene?


But the only ones that actually care about PC apparently have posted in here so hmmm...

Kyogre-chan February 28th, 2005 9:21 PM

Casey's sig is teh pwn. >P

Geometric-sama February 28th, 2005 9:22 PM

What's Casey's sig say at the moment? *can't be bothered checking* XD

aRedMoon February 28th, 2005 9:23 PM

Red != Blue
The above statement is an absolute truth defined within a mathematical declaration.
It cannot be argued against. And it will always hold true.

Kyogre-chan February 28th, 2005 9:25 PM

*nods* I couldn't agree more.

aRedMoon February 28th, 2005 9:25 PM

And it's not directly saying it, so one can interperet as they please.

Geometric-sama February 28th, 2005 9:26 PM

Let's see...

Red = Blue
=> Rd = Blu
But Rd != Blu
=> Red != Blue

aRedMoon February 28th, 2005 9:27 PM

I fail to understand that JA.

But anyways,

GIVE US A TECH CATEGORY!

Rukario March 1st, 2005 8:57 AM

hmmmm..
what about a Technology forum under OC with subs of:
Gaming Tech (current and upcoming gaming systems disscussion)
Computer Tech (computer related tech talk)
General Technology (open tech discussion)

webbies will not be merged into it as it's a standalone forum

Geometric-sama March 1st, 2005 1:23 PM

Leave the gaming out as games systems should go into Other Gaming to avoid confusion.

How about that Technology Category under Official Forums with Webmasters' under it too? The main aim of this thread was to gauge an audience response for putting Webbies and Computers into the same category, after all, and everyone seems to have thought it a good idea except you...
