    Upon my browsing of bit-tech for today, i've seen several references to a test / random stuff.

    Basically, here is a poll, of all the users who want this, so that the mods and admins of our favorite tech site (well let's be honest...the others all suck :hip: ) can see if this is really a needed thing or not and then make a desicion...

    Well this is feedback for suggestions ETC right?

    We, and no half assed forum needs a Test/Spam Section.

    Why? Its in the name. Spam. Since when did this forum welcome it.

    And Test? Whats to test.
    The 'preview post' button does its job.

    Just going on comments from at least two other threads I can remember from today. Spam / Random crap is what sounds like people would put in there, and Test forum is because there was apparently one before my time that was used for such a purpose..

    Yeah, RTT said we were hogging too much bandwidth for a forum that wasn't needed anymore. When the test forums closed, it resulted in Froggy being banned because he went spamtastic in all the other forums. :hehe:

    That said, we really don't need one. General Discussion has degraded into the "random crap" forum and the test forum was there to test out you signitures. It's been a couple of years since your signiture changed in all of your posts when you changed it instead of just in posts since you've changed it.

    Kinda pointless, really.

    Ack, no. I spend enough time here as it is; a place to offload all of my random crap/ranting/whatever would kill my grades even more, thanks. Free blogs and the preview button take care of this situation extremely well.
