i dont think the numbers is the problem.

its probably bc the admins think it will turn in to an android v apple flame war.

I doubt that's it. Political Talk is about as vitriolic as it gets, and the potential for flaming was far greater with the Music Board.

There is a lot of debate, though, much of which is fairly heated.

Four tech topics on the first page of the OT currently.

What else is new, right?

Cs does mad work in putting together his argument. I support it just because it is impressive.

BS. Any good science and tech conversation is immediately destroyed during the day due to "WYHI" threads and various other BS conversations. Its fine, because its the OT, but if we had a board where these topics didn't get dragged down instantly, then it would be much better. Really only the night crew can get a good conversation on science and tech.

i doubt that. there is way more news about tech than music everyday. so i would assume a lot would be about tech news instead crap like that



I also think it should be based around science as well, since Tech threads not involving Mac, Windows, and Samsung products often evolve into that. I see the board being more like the M/TV board really.

Honestly I don't think I'd ever really post in those threads, and those threads would probably go away pretty quickly really.

They said the Gaming Board would be Xbox vs. Ps3.. it's not, that's a horrible example. These threads would have gman and ramrod in them for 2 minutes, and then be gone.

I think it would be similar to the Movie/TV board in terms of activity.

too bad his attitude sucks. I can almost guarantee they ignore him because he comes across as an a-hole. Like he is owed something.

I don't see why no one is latching on to my Home & Health board.

It's perfect for all the boards posters are asking for.

I should do a thread listing the strengths of such a board.

Tech, fix it, and all fitness/health questions and topics would fit right in!

It's also slower at night, so threads tend to stay on the first page longer.

During the day, especially around lunch, some threads only survive on the first page for around 7 minutes if there's no response within that time. Saturation is definitely an issue on the OT, and I think more substantive discussions could be generated regarding these topics if there were a dedicated board.
