Forum requests
« on: October 09, 2009, 11:35:44 AM »
I would like to request a couple of sub-forums.

A gear for sale forum and a free-cycle forum.

Regarding the free-cycle forum I know that I and several other folks around here have older computer parts and cabling that I would happily kick down to someone for the cost of shipping (I have a volume discounted commercial UPS account at work).

It could be both "wanted" and "have to offer".

I imagine it could be inclusive of just about anything not prohibitive to ship.

Whadda ya think?

I've got boxes of crap. I haven't looked through in years.  ???

Some things that come to mind are a few 100 Mb network cards, older, smaller HDs, fans, all manner of IDE, SCSI, cat 5 cabling, modems, older ram, MBs, PIII class processors, etc.

I can't imagine anyone's going to build their next DAW with any of it. I imagine the demographic being more the people who wanna build their toddlers a computer they can shove peanut butter in or enthusiasts who wanna build their own linux firewall or home automation controller.


I've got a few 20' XLR and 1/4" instrument cables I'd like to see not end up in a landfill. I may see if I can throw in a crockpot to sweeten the deal.  ;D

It wouldn't make much sense to spend $20 shipping a $15 cable to the UK, but you get the picture.

Great idea!
Recyling stuff for use by others is brilliant.
Mmmmmm... crockpot....

I have lotsa stuff here too, we need to have a garage sale here badly....
Ill have a nose through the stuff.....

Cheers,
Mark.

Well, see if someone will swap you something of value for the excess forums!

In terms of the subcatagories of discussion, I agree wholeheartedly.

I do think a "gear for sale" forum should be it's own forum though, if Jeff is interested.

I'm open to whatever forum layout you guys want .. doesn't take but a few minutes to re-arrange them.

I would like the media break outs .. that's kind of what I had in mind for the
concentration of the forum .. maybe branching into video and photography at
some point. But, I can certainly collapse the discussion forums down if you
wish.

Where is the 'Technique' forum? I have a major issue with recording drums and guitar speakers and haven't figured out where to put those questions yet.

Just start a thread in the "Music" section. I don't think we need dozens of sections.

A humble +1 from me too on collapsing the structure a bit.

"iPhone vs. Palm Pre" in "What's on your mind"
"snow" in What's All This Then?
"Mr.Grohl and Co." latest tune in Internet

It gets confusing. I get lost, forget which board a particular thread resides/belongs in.
