Great idea conceptually, but I don't know how well this is going to go over.

I have a feeling that their forums will eventually be filled with garbage about people blaming Newegg because they fried their board overclocking, or memory won't run at a higher speed. Not to mention all the kiddies/uninformed users they'll probably get.

Interesting. This is based on Community Server, the same forum system I'm currently integrating for a client. I figured Newegg would use something higher end.

I can't see that it would be a bad idea, though moderation would be tough.

Won't be joining, though. I've had too much experience dealing with idiots, trolls, and repeating the same answers ad nauseum.
