Maybe that's not a good title for a new forum. :) But that's the one I think the forums needs more than some of the other recently created ones. Half the posts in GH these days are people asking for a critique of their new system or for someone to tell them exactly which motherboard or memory or video card or sound card or processor or power supply they need to get.

We seem unhappy lately. Anything I can do to help Lord Evermore?

I don't really see what's wrong with that. People who don't want to critique, or advise, need not post in those threads.

Maybe we need a forum for Lord Evermore's grousing ;)

Already have it. It's called Forum Issues.

I don't see it as a problem per se, I just don't bother responding to those who say "I have $3000, help me build a PC" w/out giving any important info like intended use, OC'ing intentions, recyclable parts, etc. I simply don't understand how some people put in the time to go to NewEgg and part something like that out in those ambiguous build threads.

Anyways, I think the planned AT Leaderboard will help to alleviate this problem immensely. I'm still debating whether or not a AT member rig submissions (based on intended purposes) would be a good or a bad thing, as it will inevitably lead to controversy (based on personal bias and preferences).

Maybe we need a forum for people who suck.

Or....


...maybe it's easier to change ourselves than to change the world. ;)

Sometimes the truth hurts. Still, as much as the French complain, I would consider it an insult to them to be compared with LE. He's altogether in a class of his own.
