Would it not improve the technical forums by getting rid of "business talk"?

I feel like the quality of specifically CPUs and Overclocking and VC&G would go up if pure business talk threads no longer existed.

Here are examples of what I mean:

I haven't in memory seen any thread that has a similar premise that is actually something productive and not endless cheerleading (with a pro and anti crowd for each company). I feel like having those threads not intermixed with the actual technology threads might improve the tone of those boards. I think they might be better served by having a dedicated business discussion board (where people interested in tech can avoid so as not to be bombarded constantly by armchair stock analysts, etc). Maybe they belong in P&N?



This is just something I feel is worth the administration considering for the improvement and potential lessening of the "hooray for my side, your side sucks" environment of those two boards.

I can't promise any kind of immediate action, but it's definitely something worth considering. The issue from our POV is going to be where to draw the line - sometimes it's natural to talk about tech and business in the same breath.
