My thoughts exactly, but I've already blown F9's trumpet this week :D

No offense guys... it's a nice idea but the recommendations should be made on the basis of service quality and not on their being local... much as it might be preferential to the forum and/or the pocket, ultimately it's the quality of the service that counts...

 

That's not to say that Force 9 or any other local ISP isn't good but we'd run the risk of tying our hands so's to speak if a deal was brokered...

 

Just my 10 penneth worth anyways

Hi all,

 

We all get asked lots of questions on here about PCs. A few folks (vidster, Martin_s, cyclone amongst others) have suggested an FAQ of some sort.

 

So....what questions would be in it?

 

If people want to post the questions, I'll collate the responses and see if we can assemble enough collective brainpower to deliver the answers!

Would it not be simpler & faster to register a domain & host it as a seperate entity?

 

I've had a domain name reg'd for nearly a year for just this kind of thing (was going to gear it towards South Yorkshire - might just get round to doing something useful with it in the New Year)!;-)

Not really, then it's a seperate entity and distinct from the community here.. Putting it on a subdomain would make more sense..

Thanks for the offer sccsux, but I agree with Martin - probably see if we can put it together as a subdomain here or just hang it off a menu.

 

First thing will be to get the material together, I guess.

 

It's all looking good, though - lots of great ideas.

Those diagrams are pretty cool - I see a Christmas project coming on here at The Towers to automate such a thing.

 

I clearly need a life not defined by bytes....:)

"Why has my home-page changed?" (Answer: Hi-Jack This).

 

What about an area for these and add hyperlinks to Spybot - search & Destroy, Ad-Aware v6.0, AVG v7.0.?

Lets just hope you're not the one writing the faq being that Hijack This is a tool to fix hijacked home pages it doesn't cause it ;)
