View Full Version : Technology forum?

I know this may sound silly but whenever I make a thread on something to do with technology - e.g the new iPhone being revealed - I never know where to put it. I was wondering if there could be a forum for that or if the film/video games forum could be changed slightly so it can also play host to these sort of threads?
Not urgent I know, just something that I thought of. :)

I don't think there'd be enough demand for a standalone technology forum, but I like your idea about adding it in to an existing one

Hehe thank you. http://oi54.tinypic.com/rm5w6q.jpg
And omfg I know. I'm reading all the coverage on Engadget. Hopefully iCloud should be good along with the new version of iOS. :amazed:

Me too. I really loved it when they streamed the iPod one. :sad:
And same. Hopefully the new iPhone will debut too along with more features from OS X Lion, which I plan on buying for my Mac. :lovedup:

Lion so far hasn't impressed me that much. Some of the things they've tried to take away are silly - like they wanted to remove the little blue light from the dock that tells you when a program is running. That'd drive me up the wall. :laugh:

Really couldn't care less about Lion - they'll have to pull something spectacular out of the bag today to get me to upgrade

Why would they take away that light its like god. 
The one feature that I would die for would be to be able to lock windows in position so they don't accidentally move. Would be like my ocd gone forever. 
If a window isn't centred I get a little freaked out.

Yeah they've actually made it the default when you install it. Thank God you can switch them back on via system preferences. :laugh:
What I've seen already has somewhat impressed me. I like the idea of Mission Control (the fancy name for a new version of Exposé) which lets you zoom out and see the Dashboard, all your programs and spaces in the exposé style view. But others I'm not that keen on. They're going to replace the applications folder with this thing called 'Launchpad' which presents all your apps in a similar fashion to the way an iPad would. :conf2:

So agree about the iMessage thing. I have heard so many people saying the only reason they have a blackberry over an iPhone (cough my sister cough) is BBM so hopefully blackberry will lose a lot of their teenage market because of it.

I've put up a thread in Tibb Towers highlighting this, I think a sub section or altering the name of an existing section to include technology is acceptable. We'll have to wait for an Admin to make the final decision though as mods can't change or add sections to the site.

Yeah I hate BlackBerry users. They're all like "Lolz my phone is amazing cause it has the BBM. I love it even if it deletes all my contacts randomly lol xxxxxx". And I'm just like, "****, your phone is **** -_-". :laugh:
I already know loads of people with iPhones and as nice as my HP Pre 2 is, I'd die for free messaging like iMessage, Ping or WhatsApp. :sad:

..LOL Arista..if he doesn't have a hi tech phone, it's probably because he doesn't think these are an important thing to spend your money on, in terms of gadgets etc..so long as they do what phones need to do as basics...and they are very expensive and a drain on your budget...(yes I know there are 'deals' Arista..)...but on the topic of phones, I do think a technology forum would be a good thing because these things are a big thing for lots of people and it would be good to have a forum to discuss any latest stuff in...
..I also think seperate movies and games forums would be better as well because both are very popular and would merit both still being busy..and it would also be easier to find things and see if a thread had already been made on something etc if they were separate...
..slightly OT...I'm glad you're running for PM as you are the perfect person to sort all of this out for us..you know where everything goes, when it's not quite right etc...I think you would be a very active and helpful PM and as we're not all as organised and observant as you, you would keep us all on the right track.....

In my opinion, it does.  Whether you agree or not is neither here nor there.  There are plenty that do agree.

Of course you're entitled to an opinion. But you still won't get it.
If the girls can get a health & beauty forum, then I think its only right that one that would predominantly be male should be created.
Is it only females that discuss health and beauty?
Also if you want to start that tit for tat nonsense then the guys have the sports forum :shrug:

Largely, yes
Anyone can play and enjoy sports, I know countless women who are absolute die hard football fans.  
Not many men are going to wear and/or discuss eyeliner and lipstick.

There is room for everyone, not many men I know want to discuss at length what deodorant they wear.  Its a subject, I for one have no interest in whatsoever.  If men want to discuss it, they now have a place on here.  In the same vein, if someone male or female wants to get their geek on.. there is no place for them here. Why?

They can easily make a thread in general chat.

What's the point of an 18+ forum? Would be too difficult to create a section that can only be seen by over 18s anyway

Well, personally I don't think its appropriate for an adult to be unknowingly conversing with a young teenager.  Thats my only reasoning.

I'm not against a Technology forum - it might be quite fun and lead to some good threads. They only thing I worry about with creating loads of different forums is that everything gets spread about too much on the forum and people can't find things.
Also there is the possibility that it wouldn't be used enough to justify having a separate forum, and this would actually reduce the amount of discussion about the subject as threads got moved from, say, General Chat to some unvisited corner of the forum.

This, also it would be too difficult for for people to prove they were actually 18 and as others have said it's splitting the forum into groups and that never ends well.

Everyone that joins up to the forum knows there are members as young as 13, if they only wanted to talk to adults theres plenty of other places online.

Yes, that is on one subject.  If for example someone who is 40 creates a topic in general chat that really should only be for the eyes of a mature audience, they can unknowingly get into a debate with a child.  Discussing what could be a risque subject.  Or they could say something, thinking that the person they are saying it to is of mature age, when infact they are still in school.  An over 18s forum would stop that from happening, or at least remove any liability from anyone other than the child that lied about their age.

You could add Technology into the title of the Films, DVD and Video Games section.

Not at all. I'm sorry if you think that. It was just a bit of gentle leg pulling, not a desperation to get someone I hardly talk to an infraction.
