Is there anyway we can get another hardware chat room separate from all the "cut and paste" articles that "mostly" have nothing to do with what is being done at WCG or the hardware that supports it? It would be nice to have a room dedicated only to hardware that members either use or are likely to acquire and not have to weed through all the irrelevant useless trivia alias "click-bait"

+1, the frontier gunk e.g. belongs in chat, not HW chat.

I thought this forum was for discussing hardware to use on WCG.
Do you think a certain member wouldn't post in the 'new' forum? |

It was, more or less, a rhetorical question as they won't give us another room just for the reason you indicated. So, maybe, as members, we can vote to request the poster to move his nonsensical half sentence explanations, cut and paste links, and general irrelevant trivia to the Chat Room and leave this area for the members who use it to converse about hardware we may actually use or acquire.
I vote Yay |
