<div class="IPBDescription">Read, Please</div> I'm sick of all these computer-tech threads in this forum.

"HELP ME BUILD NEW COMPUTER PLZ"
"Blah blah blah AMD hates Intel blah blah blah"
"HELP ME BUILD NEW COMPUTER PLZ"
"Blah blah blah bad news about ati blah blah"
"HELP ME BUILD NEW COMPUTER PLZ"

I'm even more sick about the ignorant, idiotic posts that occur within these threads.

Christ, if you want news and help about computer hardware, there are a few good websites to go to:

www.anandtech.com
www.hardocp.com
www.aceshardware.com

Thanks for reposting week old articles on the NS forums, we really appreciate it.

    I still think these forums could easily support a "Computers R Us" Forum. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    These are the Off-Topic forums, not "OH GOD WE MUST POST ONLY BLEEDING EDGE INTERESTING TOPICS." So, here's a PSA for you: chill. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Why go to a website/forum where we don't e-know anyone, when we could ask the question right here in our own little corner of the web?

    To be honest, I think that if you don't want to read the threads you shouldn't click on the links to that thread - problem solved.


    I do agree with a computer forum in the other section though.

    Agreed.

    And also possibly a "Really off-topic" area for spam threads... they can be fun sometimes <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    An interesting little fact: I just counted, and 10 out of the most recent ~40-50 posts in OT could go into a "general computing" forum. IMO that should be enough to warrant a look by the admins. ^_^

    Rapier7 this is a FORUM, a place where people post threads asking different questions etc especially in the OFF TOPIC FORUM. Stop being a vigilante and if you dont like a thread then dont look at it!
