What about a tech forum?

I know we have a Computer Help forum, but I was thinking what about a technology forum, would anyone else want this, would this be possible to add?


I'm thinking it could be helpful in our hi-tech gizmo world we live in, think about it.

This idea came to me when I was creating a thread about the LG Vu and wasn't sure where I should put it.

I think it would be cool to have a forum to cover things like cell phones, cameras, mp3 players, and not just which is the best, but maybe even tweaks one could use for said gizmos.

Is there already a place for this here in the ATSverse?

Also would there be enough of us interested to make use of a forum like this?

Just thinkin' out loud...

I like this idea.

people can review what they've used and purchased ... For one, I'm thinking about buying a new television, and would like some opinions on what type is good for my needs ... LCD, Plasma, DLP, theater projector etc ... I twould be a nice place to go to get some opinions.

Also, I can see it being used for discussing what's in development, what's coming down the pipe ... It'd be a good place to learn./

I just wouldn't really like a technobable forum though. plain english is good for me!

I think it is a great idea.

We can look at tech conspiracies like: Comcast putting camera’s in their cable boxes, direct TV monitoring what you watch and downloading it through the phone line connection.......

Heeeeyy, what about a Lysergic forum? I'm down for that. A whole forum dedicated to one of my favorite members.

Maybe we should just rename the computer help forum to the tech forum. That way there wouldn't have to be a new one created, just computer help forum 2.0 so to speak.

Great Idea.

I think It belongs in it's own section, as the thread would fill very quickly with technical in's and out's of all the "ordinary" technology, and would become huge in no time. As each piece of gear has it's own specs.

I can picture a multitude of threads, including video, music, photo, scanning, mobile devices, reviews and trade, with recording technology being of particular interest to us paranormal nuts.

Yes, go for it.

You got my vote Lysergic

A forum like that deserves to be on the main part of the site more than some other current forums which shall remain nameless and anonymous....

As Joe said, as long as we split and organise it into relevant sections, I think you're on a winner here

Nice job

PS3 and xbox 360 mouse and keyboard chat ?

Yes indeed Sir, good idea. All things tech orientated would be great. Not like a help file, just a drop in and a w00t l337n355 type of way.

As long as it's in BTS I would sign on. I like the idea already mentioned of changing the computer forum to the tech forum. Same purpose, wider goals. It would just be a wider scope to an already existing forum.

Just my thoughts,

Just for the record, I meant for this to be created in BTS, I had no intention of trying to get this into ATS or AP, I meant BTS by saying ATSverse

Yeah!
I mean how many cool tech things are going on out there, and I just want to post, but there's no solid place to go. Computers? maybe. ATS Science and Technology? Maybe, but that seems more like a conspiracy place.

BTS would do well with a dedicated tech forum.
