Sub-Forum for Tech Professionals?

[EDollar]

As for appearing "elitist", that is a matter of perspecitive and opinion. As I see it, what is true is true.

First of all sir, that is exactly what I was referring to. You sound as if you are above others. This is not the same as the club thing in schools, clubs try to be non exclusive, you are trying to create something that would be somewhat. Yes people would be free to contribute, but there is a strong chance that they would feel excluded. They don't have a job in the field, or couldn't get one, and they are on the sidelines. If you do in fact feel like this is a nonexclusive idea, then why need a sub-forum for it? Couldn't you use the current forums to discuss your advertising and jokes about those users who think their CD drive is a cup holder? Or in that case, you could use the current threads.

What I meant by "what is true is true" is that if we are professionals, we are professionals. I didn't mean tech professionals are "elitist". I went to explain that we are simply a subgroup within the membership. Read the whole paragragh!! I was arguing that we DON'T consider ourselves "elitist"!!

Cripes!

I did read the whole paragraph. I just thought that sounded a little strong there. Take a deep breath. How about rather than simply saying there are a number of topics people would discuss in this forum, why don't you list them out, or give some examples.

I think the people has spoken and there seems to be no room for the new board... perhaps some other time in the future. In the meantime for specific topics you could post in the Meeting Room and see who else got the same interest in discussing any such topics and we can go from there.

Renewed Cal for Subforum for Tech Professionals!

TechSpot Management,

I just have to renew my call for this! There are more than a few of us on this site who are tech professionals and there's so much I've learnt in the past 6 months starting up my own PC servicing business that I would love to share. Not only that, but there are many questions I have and points I would like to discuss with others! Yet, there is no specific subforum for me to post them under! I can only use "The Meeting Spot" and it's just doesn't seem appropriate.

Can we please have a subforum for us to discuss topics specific to professional tech support (other than solving tech issues that is) What I mean is, we talk about things customers like, what works for a tech support business, ...

TIA,
-- Andy

Hi Andy, I think you brought up the idea to soon since it was dropped.
I have seen a few of your messages on the Meeting Spot and in fact I have seen the need for some of them to be merged (as with this one). I don't want to discourage you from posting but for the time being things will remain as is.

For more business related topics you can keep using the meeting spot, for technical/general you can use Other hardware.
