POLL: New forum ideas.

[MannDude]

Some people have suggested new ideas for additional forums. I'm open to the idea of expanding a bit more, but as this place is vpsBoard, I don't wish to expand too far from things we all hold as common interests. With that said, happy voting! Can vote for more than one idea or suggest another in a response.

Well, what's the idea?

 

[Tux]

A programming forum is absolutely essential for a forum like this.

A programming forum would be awesome on this site as I think it would add value to the tutorials and guides section. Not everything can be done in bash scripts and some Python/various others would be of great value.

 

[MannDude]

Sounds like a Programming forum it is then.

I'll get on it.

Done.

May be open to one more if there is a demand for it. I feel like the Coding/Scripting/Programming forum is relevant enough to everyone's interest however.

Remember that these new forums only remain if they're used. "If you don't use it, you lose it."

I would vote for "bring back the vps request forum".

It's not gone anywhere.

Do you not see it? http://vpsboard.com/forum/23-vps-requests/

No, I don't see it:

Try again.

You're in a custom user group that was recently added as a 'Content Contributer', though the permissions were cloned from the regular Member group. I added the normal member group as your 'secondary group', so we'll see if that fixes the issue.

 

[MannDude]

Should be sorted now.

 

[wlanboy]

Yup - my forum glasses are cleaned.

 

[jcaleb]

want to buy forum

 

[blergh]

Dear god, please no "Running a VPS business forum"

If you do, I'm going to be disappointed with you.

 

[drmike]

Anything for buy/sell/barter...  Non provider sales... Stuff for/from everyone else.

 

[Tyler.S]

Instead of a Forum, why not a sub-forum for "Paid Support Requests/Node/Server Admins". I dunno, just throwing up ideas. A Sub-Forum to share OS Templates would be really great.

Personally I think that the below would be best.

Running a VPS business forum. A place to talk about handling problem clients, issues with that businesses may face and proper ettitquette for handling particular situations.

The majority of all posts, and I think members, are provider geared. So, I voted for a how to run a company forum.
