Computer teck forum

[Nuclearranger]

I personaly think that there should be a -computer Teck- "forum area" to discuss Computer parts/ prices/ help/ building comps/. And i know Many people could and will benifit from this if this is created.


There are alot of people on this forum that know what there talking about and People that need help. I think that it should be let out for the better good of PSOw.

With all of the new Phantasy stars. On computer (BB,soon PSU, and PS1-4 if you emulate them I guess)There are alot of questions that enevitably get moved to off topic and that seems wrong. But that could just be my topics....

With the size of PSOw userbase growing every day. Not everyone knows how to run computers/ troubleshoot/ upgrade. I see alot of questions asking if the game will even run on there computer.

If this is created people can get there problems fixed and get back to what we all love to do.
!Play games!

PS. If for some reason it doesnt work out you can always just erase it like nothing ever happened. But im confident that it will work.

There are plenty of other sites out there that are dedicated to such subjects.

What's wrong with Such topics being moved to off-topic? Makes sense to me.

Those people should really take an Intro to Microcomputers class, or stick to the console versions of PSU... http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

Realy though if we can help people get on PSO/U shouldnt we? The more the better.

Tech Support and Off Topic work perfectly fine.

That I do beleve is more baced on psos errors.
We should at lease get one thats not under PSO besides what could it hurt?

There are already countless boards devoted to nothing but computer tech support. A gaming site like PSOW doesn't need to burden itself with a section like that. That's not the site's business.

PSOW's tech support is for problems concerning the PSO game. For everything else, there's Master Card there are boards for other games, and boards for computers in general all across the Internet.

Just a thought but there are going to be more and more Computer questions and im guessing 90% of them will go into the PSU section then moved to offtopic especialy with the higher stats required for PSU vs PSOBB even if a low end can run it. n.n

Somehow, I doubt that the occasional technical question in off-topic is the area of concern that this site should be worried about, but maybe I'm just a fool.

Well, your idea is nice, but I don't see how occasional technical PSU problems should deserve to have another section. We have more urgent matter to deal with.

As many have said before, Tech Support & Off Topic are perfect fine for such topics. The most we can offer you is a (floating) sticky, in either in TS or OT.
