A few months ago the admins actively cleaned up the gaming board, in doing so, they also made it one of the least utilized boards on td.

Currently people will ask tech questions on the OT and the GB... why not consolidate the already slower board ( the gaming board ) and create a tech board? This will allow for more general discussion about many different things, and liven up a much slower td board.

(Disclaimer: I don't dislike the gaming board.. I just think in general people on TD end up playing the exact same games, so at one time you might have 3 active threads... and that's it. If it was an all purpose tech board, it could change this - while also bringing more traffic to TD. There is much more competition in the general gaming department, than the general tech forum department on the interwebs)

A lot of tech threads end up on the GB anyways. Would probably add some traffic to the GB and alleviate some of it from the OT. I'm for it.


The two go hand in hand anyways.

it would also prevent you from sorting through 15 redundant 'witty' responses to get your real answer or decent input

I can only imagine the bitching when tech threads take up the page and some posters can't see there COD threads. It will be chaos.

Why is there a gaming board? I thought you had to be 18 to post here?

I agree with idea except now when there are Xbox vs PS3 catfights, there will also be Androis vs. iPhone catfights.

I support the idea, but there needs to be a distinction from tech threads that would go there and threads like iphone news that really are best served on the OT
