Technical Discussion Forum?

[LaughingCheese]

Hi,

I don't see a technical discussion forum, do you just throw those topics in the general forum?

If not, I think it would be nice to have a specific Technical Discussion forum, perhaps under each series (Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate, etc...), or a main tech thread with different levels, or a single tech thread for all sci-fi tech discussions.

Or do they simply go under the related categories?

Thanks

We have currently just had such topics in their respective areas.
TOS tech in TOS, TNG in TNG, etc.

Yeah. I don't think there's really enough going on to warrent a new sub-forum, we've been rehashing mostly the same topics for quite a while now.

Oh ok, thanks.

Yeah. Eventually you realize all the discussions on this board get technical if you give them enough time. Also, they do not stay on topic more than 2 pages...3 may be a record.

Welcome to the board! I hope the other lurkers follow suit.

LOL...as evidence by my intro thread...left the topic on the second page lol.

Welcome to the board! I hope the other lurkers follow suit.

Actually, I was registered a couple weeks or more before I posted.

So, if I was registered, does that make me a lurker?

lol

Before that though I would only visit the main site.

And thanks for the welcome!

Aye, technical questions simply go under whatever series they're from. So, for example, if you want to talk about the E-Nill's speed, you'd post that in the TOS forum.

Oh, I guess what I meant was general Trek tech discussion.

Where would a general post go? I would probably put it in TNG...

[Sionnach Glic]

What do you mean by "general"? You mean something that appears in all series (like the transporter)? That would go in the Books/Games/General section.

[Graham Kennedy]

If you want a general topic about Trek technology - like say "how do phasers work", it should go in the Trek section under Books / Games / General

If you want to discuss a general tech item for some other series - like say "why does Twikki go 'biddi biddi biddi' all the time", it should go in the Other Movies and TV Series section under Other / General.

That's what I meant.

Thanks!

Oh, and funny you should mention 'how phasers work," I was gonig to post on them soon. Like in two weeks, when the semester's over, and after my thread about warp drive vs hyperdrive.

lol

[Sionnach Glic]

and after my thread about warp drive vs hyperdrive.

Be aware that Vs discussions are banned on this site.

On the contrary, one of my threads, (i can't remember which one right now) stayed on for about 4.5 pages!

To add to what Rochey said: I don't think there is a problem discussing the operation of warp drive v. hyperdrive, for example; but when it gets to "Wars is better/Trek is better" it will be slapped down.

[Sionnach Glic]

Similarly, it'd be perfectly acceptable to discuss, say, the speed of such devices provided they're kept in seperate threads. Whether one turns out to be greater than the other is fine, provided that it doesn't occur in the same thread.

Loopholes are fun, eh?
