The context of this discussion was Beedubaya wondering why some of the older TF members are leaving even though we have an influx of new members - mostly younger dudes..
Anyways, Dave suggested that we continue the discussion here.

It'll be nice to have a h/w forum where we can talk about more interesting topics - like computer design for example, without getting bombarded with threads about system building etc. I think this would attract more knowledgeable people. Then we can talk about more serious topics on this forum. Right now, all we do in h/w is talk about specs of this card that card, etc. etc. etc. Wayy too repetitive.. So why not have 2 separate forums? One for h/w help and one for more survey type discussions - design issues, semi conductors, what Bell Labs is doing these days, new types of chips, etc.
