Hey all,

I just opened a user-driven debate mag/forum called Volconvo. I thought I'd just get some opinions from some fellow techies :)

Any advice would be very appreciated. (design-wise, etc)

Volconvo.com

Thanks!

sh00 n00b, we have enough heated debate right here.

Have you even viewed the AT site at all?

These are the quality responses I've received for such a simple question:

"SH00 N00B", "ANANDTECH is better"

Anyone out there who can give me some constructive advice for the site, or can at least respond with some manners would be a great change :)

Thanks....

Well for starters, maybe you can start by growing up and not sending n00bish PMs like this:
you try to show me a better forum and I look at yours in your profile and laugh. Mine's only 1 month old with 5,000 posts...what's your excuse hahaha.

:)

I should grow up?!

At least I PRIVATE messaged such a rude remark. You on the otherhand responded to my topic by just showing me something that says "HERE'S A BETTER ONE" with a link to the site I am already on (and well aware of the quality).

well, you just proved that you fall right into that term...I found this as a definition of tool on the site: "a lame as* who uses this site to get back at someone who done them wrong"

Thanks for pointing that out...."n00b"

Talk about starting out on the wrong foot.

I think the first two responses were meant to be a joke. ;)

awg...thank you! That's the kind of discussion I was hoping for.

I didn't rip the ads off from anywhere. I got some royalty-free stock photos and designed them myself. People have been printing them out on their campuses for me (we're mostly students).

Thanks again awg..good to see the topic is back.

actually if you look I didn't sign up for that. I've been registered for a while. This topic, if you'd read was ripped apart by two immature people. Only awg and myself actually stayed on topic.

24 days does not constitute awhile :) This thread needs to be dumped into the recycling bin.
