So I was bored at work, and noticed there were a lot of seldom used forums on here, and alot of categories with one forum, which I thought was a bit daft. This will probably get completely ignored, but this is my proposal for a new structure. If anyone else thinks its a good idea and will tidy the forum up, please do let me know
>Announcements and News >>Forum Rules >>Announcements >>General News >>Releases Information on new releases can be posted here for discussion and download.
>General Discussion >>General Discussion (Offtopic Discussions) [General discussions about anything not computer related can be posted here. Please try to keep it clean.] >>Computer Discussion (General Beta chat) [Anything computer related that doesn't fit into any of the other categories can be posted here, beta or not.] >>Jokes & Funny Stuff (Jokes) >>Site Feedback (Site Suggestions/Problems) [Problem with the site? Got a suggestion? Post here, and the staff will
respond.] >>Tutorials and Guides (Tutorials) >>Trading Forum (Sell/Buy/Trade/eBay) [Got something to sell? Seen something good on eBay? Want to buy stuff? Post here]
>Technical Discussion >>Microsoft Operating Systems (Windows Discussion) [Discuss any Microsoft OS here, Beta or not, from DOS to Vienna.] >>Apple Operating Systems (Mac OSX Discussion) [Discuss any Apple OS here, Beta or not, from Rhapsody to OS X.] >>*nix & Other Operating Systems (Linux Discussion) [Discuss any *nix, Linux, or any other Operating System here.] >>Game Betas (Game BETA Discussion) [Discuss any Game Betas here.] >>Customisation *new* [Discuss customisation of your Operating System here.] >>Custom Operating Systems (Custom OS Discussion) [Discuss any custom operating systems here, get feedback and ideas, get help with problems, etc.]
>Support Section >>Hardware Support [Get support with your hardware, new builds, upgrades, etc.] >>Software Support (Operating Systems Support) [Need help with your software? OS crashed? Post in here]
>Downloads Section >>Download Requests/Offers [Have something to offer? Missing something from your collection? Post here. (Note - Users with less than 10 posts will be ignored)] >>Public Servers (LIFT 10-POST LIMIT, SINCE THEY ARE PUBLIC ANYWAY) [Found a good public server? Don't mind allowing everyone to use your server? Post the details here.] >>Private Servers [Set up a server for BetaArchive users? Post the details in here! (Note - Only 'Advanced Members' can access this forum - see the rules)
---------------------------- Not on list:
Hardware Discussion - Merge into Computer Discussion Old Stickies - If theyre old, unpin and forget about? Application Support - Merge into Software Support Web Design/Programming Support - Merge into Software Support Other Support - Move topics accordingly Other OS Discussion - Merge into *nix and Other Beta Operating Systems Open Servers - Merge into Public Servers - theyre essentially the same thing Out of Service Servers - I propose an OSBA-style system where working servers
are pinned, non-working ones are un-pinned.
Also, rename 'Members' group to 'Advanced Members' - makes more sense.
