Mo come hither
« on: June 16, 2007, 02:51:42 AM »
What do you think about a OS section on lucidmagic? considering we are for the most part gamers. Talk about opperating systems would be great in my oppinion.

something like:

OS Discussion -
Windows
Linux
MacOS

I could also then offer some of the info on my distrobutions of windows as I develop them. Naturaly I wont be able to post direct links to said distros, but that could be handled in other ways. The main perpose of the forum would be for discussion and a place for people to post feedback or reviews on OS options they have found.

We have a Computer Stuff forum.  Just start those topics there.  I would be interested in hearing some more about your custom Windows installs.  Are you using nLite to customize them?

I agree with Mo. No need for all those sections with the likely minimal amount of topics posted in them, in comparison to other sections. Might as well beef up the comp section more.

Also, instead of answering Mo's question in this topic, do so in a new topic there.

Didnt nessisarily have to be a whole new forum. Just saying it would be decent to have a few more sections to devide posts within the computer section.

Like HeLL said.  Just start some topics in the Computer forum.  It's all good, not like that forum is too big or anything.

Well, "forum" is equivalent to "section" in the context meant here.

The forum is often called the board. The board has categories, under the categories are the forums/sections, under the forums/sections are the sub-forums. It really doesn't matter what you call what usually, because people can usually figure it out without a hitch. I call forums sections all the time and then sometimes call the forums forums instead of sections. But it doesn't hurt to be specific if you mean something specific. Like you used "section" so I interpreted it as "forum" not "sub-forum." But either way my reply would've been the same anyhow. :lol:

So what you were really asking for was sub-forums to the computer forum. But those really aren't necessary either. The computer forum covers it all just fine I think, as it is vague. It does not have a million posts in it yet and I doubt the sub-forums for it would get enough posts to even make it worth having them as sub-forums. I would suggest just making your topics and what not under the computer forum and if alot of OS topics pop up over time, then maybe Mo will consider it later on when it happens and perhaps add a sub-forum for them all at that time.

I mean, your idea is a good one and I like it, don't get me wrong. I just don't think it's necessary because of the amount of use they would probably have and what not. That sort of thing would seem more proper for a board actually based on tech stuff and computers, rather than one that's rather general like LM is.

No use? "If you build it, they will come"


There was no use for many things that are in common use today. But it doesnt matter.

If you start a topic they will come also.  So instead of wasting time in this topic start an interesting one about your custom OS installs. :P
