Networking Topic

**Admiral Michael** · May 28th, 2004

Hey,
I visited the forums after a week of working and noticed the networking section has been moved, I don't kno about you people but I think it belongs in the hardware section like before. Im hoping it will be moved back

I dont see why it should be under Hardware... Networking involves more than just a router or some cabling. There is configuring and topology and should have its own section.

Well, yes it isn't just hardware involved in this. BUT, what is networking?!
I don't think it should be placed with software either since it's not a software.

networking is its own beast...

In fact, I think we should have a separate section for Networking

Networking
>Hardware Issues
>Software Issues
>Security

If not under hardware then most definately not under software

I couldn't agree more networking is its own beast, and as not to configure the issue it should be sub-catergorized as Ming suggested re:

>Hardware Issues
>Software Issues or Configuration Issues
>Security

How bout:

>dial-up
>cable
>DSL(ADSL)
>routers/switches
>software
>other

There aren't enough posts to have 3-6 subcategories

There is enough work to be done with posts move and user restoring, so can you please wait with the subcaegories

Are you saying it's useless to have 3 subcats?
I'm sure it'll be much more organised that way, and easier for members to locate information that they need to find.

**PseudoKiller** · May 28th, 2004

come on... Networking having its own topic is enough. I mean lets be reasonable...

**muzikool** · May 28th, 2004

Yeah, only ~20,000 more threads to move!

I keep moving and moving and it looks the same

I need a hug

**muzikool** · May 28th, 2004

We both need hugs... and mass moving priviledges.

That can't be done (the mass moving thing, I just got a hug

).
The thing is it can only be done via admin CP and there is no way in hell we'll get to access that

Anyway, I think that there are enough Smods to take care of the mass move thing.

**Electronic Punk** · May 29th, 2004

Actually giving networking it's own section might be a good idea.
I am on the road at the moment but will take a look at it when I get home.

Networking is of course a matter of both configuring both software and hardware, so I was stuck as to where to put it.

I didn't consider making its own section.

**GoNz0** · May 29th, 2004

yeh, networking deserve's it's own section

**Electronic Punk** · May 30th, 2004

I'll look into it next weekend when I am back at home!
