The PC Tech board isn't strictly for gaming though the majority of the discussion will be centered on that. That board can essentially be used for any "computer-related" issues or discussions.

GeneticBlueprint Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I would like to voice my support in favor of the new board names. I was actually thinking about something similar the other day but didn't think enough people would care one way or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 The names are cheesy but I don’t care if they are changed back. ??♀️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 However, I do think some would benefit from a different name Suggestion Box could be changed to “Help Center” or something since I think that reflect the nature of the board more. The Red Carpet could be changed to “The Show Floor” I think red carpet makes the board sound just for movies but the show floor encompasses the consumer electronics aspect but could also be considered as “Show” like any other entertainment medium. Tell me what you think @SFLUFAN ✌? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spork3245 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 These are the worst fucking names ever. “The Red Carpet”? Really? Wait, no, “Comfy Couch” was actually worse. Just use normal names, like everywhere else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
