if you would like a good model of split forums, go over and have a gander at ocforums.com, if they have ANY processor related flame war, its always in the mixed forum and not the sub forum
. just some food for thought. i believe Panama Red has the most well rounded philosophy about the mixed forum. it really can be a pain to go through all of those threads. IMO there would be nothing making it partisan. as long as you include subforums for both AMD and Intel, youre showing that youre not favoring any one manufacturer. what if you named the motherboard, proc, and ocing forum the "AMD and Intel" forum? same difference
. not only that, but our current members are quick to snuff the beginnings of a flame thread...example, a thread labeled "AMD vs Intel", which i have seen a few of. our fellow PC Mechers are quick to ease the situations with the biased and the uninformed. like Panama Red said, this place also serves as a library. VB3 was a nice change, but lets be a little more specific here. we're professionals, and professionalism shows refinement
