Absolutely. In fact, I would encourage them to shut OT down. I poke around in here once in a while, but I much prefer the useful tech forums.

So i dont use the FS/FT forum, why not shut that one down too?

We agree with you N8
O.T. has degraded into a kiddie forum
Maybe we should just close O.T. altogether

LOL, certainly I'd stay. OT is not AT, far from it! I don't subcribe for OT, that would be ludicrous. :)

Who's bitching? There was that one thread in OT a while ago and that one thread Forum Issues a while ago too... but other than that I don't see much bitching.

I might try to hang on if they shut down OT, but I'd probably be lost in the other forums.

maybe to Hot deals ...

i think my post count would be like 1 a month then...even though i post more right now in others, its usually because im already here

I agree. Real trouble/help questions posted in other forums at AT rarely get answered like other help boards out there.

No, and I would want a refund on my subscription. I do tech support for a living so I don't really want to come here and do it. I would go to some of the other OT forums I know of.

I'd stick around, but I would let my subscription expire. I'd hang around for Hot Deals and a few other forums.

I came for the Hot Deals. I stayed for the OT forum. But I'll still be here if they ever got rid of it (and I hope they never do).

i don't think OT should be shut down.. OT is such a good place for random information on random stuff because of the sheer amount of people and knowledge that congregate here.. i think if the mods believe there is a problem they should moderate it more tightly and keep the kiddies out instead of ruining it for everyone..

yes. the general hardware, cpu, motherboard, and tech support forums are really good and informative :)

I would stilll come...I read GH a lot. But I think you'll see a lot more locked threads in GH if OT goes away.
