Conquests, Software/*NIX and Peripherals forums update...

[Mike Richardson]

Take a look at your profile (or anyone else's) for the "Most active forum" stat. It's The Lounge for a lot of people, (un)fortunately. :-/

So? It's wrong to discuss non-Mac topics?

Honestly, if you look at the first page of the Lounge, more than 2/3rd of the threads are computer related and most of those are Apple related. Page 2 has fewer Apple related threads but still about the same proportion of computer threads.

Perhaps the answer is a new sub-forum specifically for general discussion of Apple, or maybe even general discussion of Computing. This will reduce the size of the lounge by at least half.

The loung would be better if we took out the non computer related posts. Stuff like cars, dating, sickness, music, should be shared with your friends and not on a 68k forum.

Another option is just to delete threads in the loung after a week to get rid off the fluff giving time for anything of use to be sent to the correct section of the forum. That way people can do offtopic but it doesn't fill up the place.
