Hmmmmmmmm, this sounds like a good idea actually, and put in the groups area would be appropriate... After all, not all of us are good with computers and hacker is right, no one hear gives real advice on the regular forums or your thread gets massively derailed making it hard to pay attention to the problem at hand. I have an idea.... If it were up to me, i'd give you a month to get together a solid group of people, say around a dozen or so. Then I'd monitor the activity, do an assessment and decide whether to keep it or give it das boot. But it's not me in charge, so...

I know mr. hacker has brought this up before, so when I first saw this thread I thought it would be some shit about this tech forum bs, blah blah. But then I read a bit closer, and he does have a good point. Everyone here uses some sort of technology to access the internet and a tech usergroup would be the place to discuss and get help for issues with these devices. Now, you may say that there are other forums for that kind of thing. This is true, but in a small community like this one, it's tough to muster up the courage to ask a question of a tech forum of 250,000 people or more from around the globe. I've gotta say this time, while hacker has pushed the point before, he does have a valid point and I think we should give him a chance!! And yes, GP is very helpful with computer stuff, however, like i said before, threads will usually get derailed horribly making the advice choppy and hard to understand. Okay. I've rambled enough...

Getting tech support here is like going shopping at a proctologist's office. You won't find what you want there, just a bunch of assholes. If you want tech support, you want this site. Here, we just tell you not to go to Lemon Party and you go there anyways. And I like the way you recommend yourself as one of the "tech gurus". Modest?

Are those forums pretty good then Usa? I'm just wondering b/c I haven't found a good PC tech forum yet either. Lol, good joke about the, yeah....

Oh well, hacker. It looks like your answer is to join the techguy forums. Or you could make threads here and have us tell you to go to bs websites that have porn and shit on them.

This isn't a tech support site. If people need computer help, go to www.expertsexchange.com and sign up there. And that's experts exchange, not expert sex change. Figured I'd clear that up before people made jokes. They can answer all your questions, and if you're sneaky you can even get them to do your programming homework.

Jeebus, you fucking liar. There is no sign of tech advice on the Expert Sexchange site. It is complete bullshit. Way to be an asshole to our friend hacker. Now all he gets is a link to a fifth rate website with the name "expertsexchange". Either that or the link is from 2002 and you havent updated your bookmarks since then... Either way, the internet changes.....

I dont want a whole forum just a user group

You won't get one here is what i was getting at. I'm sorry about this, i support your idea and everything, but this isn't my webspace so I can't give you the usergroup. Syd probably could, but he won't. So, if you want computer help, join another forum or keep on doing this and getting shut down. Tell ya what, if you join the forums Usa suggested, I'll join too so you don't feel lonely

Awww, Cattivo, that was funny. You shoulda left it.
