    Gneral hardware isn't enough. When you have a great site that is supposed to be "SharkyExtreme", no it isn't. That's just like going to a performace race super sport motorcycle's forum, and having general upgrades. These need to be broken down. It makes it easier for the users and is highly better for organization.

    Yeah, I guess I see your point. Let's have an AMD forum and an Intel Forum. And then specific motherboard brand name forums

    I see nothing wrong with making a forum about storage and media, it would be different if they made Brand Name forums.

    What is General Hardware supposed to be for now, the "What do you think about my new rig" threads? Mice and keyboards discussion?

    You can post anything you want in there. Just because you OC'd your chip to a certain speed doesn't mean you have to post it in the OC'ing section. General Hardware is the Kingdom (so to speak) of the forum. Everything else is just like a Phylum. Basically Gen Hardware is basically a place for the n00bs to learn how things work here first. Then once they are done with the help me build my system threads, they can contribute in other areas. It's like the test everyone has to pass before contributing to other forums. The most common thread in there is still the system check stuff. I do agree though, with the HDD stuff in here it might take a hit. However, it is better because then we have stuff sorted very easily.

    Also, a seperate OCing forum for AMD and Intel would be awesome. It would eliminate the flame wars, and things would run much smoother (IMO). All I know is I remember a mod saying that this would never happen so I guess it's just wishful thinking.

    Great idea. I think this has been needed for quite some time.

    So, aside from general hardware, where do memory-related topics go?

    I don't see why it's such a big deal. Almost every other forum has intel and AMD separated. I prefer them separated.

    I would not expect to have too many more forums. I doubt that I would ever go with those brand name based forums. Having both types of users in the same forum, keeps everyone on top of their game, because they are constantly trying to out do each other. The result is that it keeps all more informed, though it is at the cost of a few heated debates.
