I'm just curious if some other ATOT people would think a business forum would be a useful addition to the site. I know this is primarily a site for computer talk, but because of the sheer number of people who visit here a business forum would likely get a lot of contributors. I know there are other people on the board who are looking to start a business or perhaps improve one, with a dedicated forum we could all share info.

why not start your own? there's already enough sections of this forum that we don't need more.

I don't have the traffic that AT does, don't have the time to really run a forum either.

Which kind of proves my point that alot of people only peruse the cpu portions of the site, and mainly come here to post in OT.

This forum is becoming less and less of a computer forum and more of a lifestyle's forum more than anything else.

based on what? if someone makes a thread that is a P&N, the poster gets banned immediately or what? there's already tons of P&N content in OT, more N than P but you get the point.

don't think that it would work well since many don't want others to know where they work.
