General
-Social Lounge
....Talk about non computer related topics, share interests and hobbies or, if you have just registered, come and introduce yourself.
-General computer talk
....show off your rig etc etc. (also where noobs and unknowns would go)
The sub forums for general computer talk would be media, reviews, and gallery
-CF suggestions comments and feedback
-Classifieds

Technical
-Computer Hardware
.....Talk about anything computer hardware related.
*Sub forums here would be ati vs nvidia and intel vs amd and over clocking
-Computer Software
.....Discuss anything from photoshop to windows to gadgets
*subforum would be windows vs apple and programming and OS
-Networking

Webhosting
-Hosting and sever administration
-Web programming and design
-review and advertising board

*I'm not sure on the VS forums. I think a stick would be a better option for those.

P.S. I basically just did a few slight edits to arrizX's.

Yes I realize this could use some work, as it looks like a lot, but its open for improvement, and constructive criticism.

What need would there be for 6 review sections? One would be more than adequate..

I like the idea of a re-shuffle, but the basic layout we have here is good, just needs a bit of tweaking. A review section would be a good idea, rather than random stickies all over the place, but 6 would be more than overkill..

I actually think it's fine how it is, it would be a lot of work relocating threads from the sections you know?

not really. I mean the general computer section threads now can go into the general computer section there will be.

 

[Teny]

i think its fine the way it is now.

I don't really see a need to change the layout, I would rather like to see a choice of different skins/themes to use on the forums, leaving this one as the default.

 

[dude_se]

sooo. its pretty clear we all want some changes made. we just need to know davids 2 pence on the situation.

Hey guys just something for you to mull over.
The more complicated you make it, the less people will use it. Streamline it. Don't bloat it.

 

[dude_se]

changng a theme and a few other minor things wont bloat it. if anything it will make it more like CV, which i think looks good.
