Tips and Tricks Forum

Hey Hey...

Me again... Getting pissed of yet over there? hah...

Anyways... here's my latest suggestion.. a Tips and Tricks forum.... A lot of people post little "blurbs", if you will, in the tutorials forums or in GCC or in any other random forums because they aren't sure where to put them. A lot of us have useful little tidbits of information floating around in our heads, but they aren't nearly long enough to produce a real tutorial out of. Somewhat like the QuickTips.. however not just advice, but work arounds, fixes and other such things. Anyways I think it would be useful if we had a centralized forum where we could post these and then they'd be searchable, and easily accessible.. People could append information to them, and there could be follow up posts to update them.


And while I'm at it.. how about a recipes forum like someone mentioned.. I've got lots of them to share :) hehe j/k

Peace,
HT

Well, I sure am not interested in a recipes forum myself, but a tricks and tips (tweaks) forum is a great idea.
Maybe even an area like the old downloads section, with maybe someone like HT maintaining it and keeping it updated. (heh heh heh.....I like voluntering HT for work)

Edit -- why can't I get the spell checker to work with firefox? (it just sits there)

It sounds good. Maybe this type of Forum should of been set up a while ago.

Gr8 Idea! HT! I vote 4 the suggesion.
Maybe, It should be done soon...

Hey Hey,

I'm bumping an old post of mine because I really think we need this, if not this then something else... It's getting horrid the quality of posts in the Security Tutorials forum.... it's almost in the area of 50% that are NOT tutorials. I end up hitting the report this post button because if I neg it, someone else will just come along and "even it up because they don't deserve to be negged"... If you don't believe me about the horrid quality of the tutorials.. check these two out

HTRegz: Yeah, I agree with your post and I second your suggestion. Sound's like a good idea, wouldn't take long (at all) to implement, so it's up to the mod's/admin's.

Wow, those "Tutorials" really suck, the dude just says "Encrypt the data" anewbie reads the tut and thinks.... what does encrypt mean, how do i do that, what data ...? a tutorial need to explain a step-by-step process and not just say "do this" ....

agree with u HT as always....

Maybe you should have "posted a poll" along with this thread to see the amount of interest.

Surley the people who paticipate in this site should have a say in how it could be run, so maybe if you get enough votes something can be done?

I would suggest dividing the tutorial forums up altogether, as the computer/IT industry is far to wide and varied to just have two tuturial sections!

Maybe divide it up into, Programing , Networking Protocol's , Networking Hardware, Installing Hardware, etc etc etc there is loads that could be added.

It would also make searching for a tutorial when you have a problem a lot easier too!

Thats why we have the Tut INDEX made by negative.

and if there were that many forums here,. would be a waste of sapce, and there would be too many forums to search....it's better this way.

Didnt know about the Tut index, cheers

Okay, now not only do I agree with HTRegz suggestion, I'm in his "campaign" so to speak to have this SERIOUSLY implemented. It is a great idea and a recent problem lately at AO is that people are writing half-assed tutorial's (or tip's, and I know I'm guilty of doing it as well) and then the thread get's moved to another forum. So because this has become a recent and frequent problem, I REALLY hope that this get's implemented. Neg, whaddya say?

Deleted because of unhappy member.

Umm, I think the idea is to have a forum created on the AntiOnline site where user's can post their tips' and trick's. And you advertising your website is kinda a no-no. We're not looking for a tips and tricks website, we're looking for the admin/mods to create a new forum. Thank's though. :)

I was not trying to advertise my web site. I just did not feel that I would have to post all the Tips & Tricks onto one forum or thread.
That would be more like spamming or flooding, which I would not agree with.
Posting just the link of tips and tricks was less agressive.
Unless you want me to post the page as a file that people could download.
I have seen that done before. Just like the bookmarks thread.

I understand that, but your not understanding the purpose of this thread. It's to suggest to the admin's and mod's the use of a Tip's and Trick's forum at AntiOnline. It has nothing to do with posting tip's and trick's (or a link to that kinda site for that matter). We're trying to get that forum implemented (or created, whichever you prefer). If you like you can create a thread in GCC or w/e and post your website or your Tip's and Trick's there.

hmm, i dont think this is necessary. If someone has a tip or trick, he can post it in the forum depending on subject, OS, etc.. So if its a tip&trick for lilo for example, it would go into the *nix section. Too many forums are not always that good. Quality instead of quantity. To the tutorials subject, there is a thread in suggestions about that. Lets not cloak up the forums with too many things which could be done with the current setup.

Just my 2 cents :p (w00t, its the first time i said that)

Cheers.

Guess What :)

Yay! :) Thanks DJ Neg ;) hehehehe it pay's to complain alot, doesn't it? :D
