I was going through the archive earlier and came across Turbo’s Web Design Pledge. Although I can vaguely remember this when it happened, I thought nothing of it, but upon reading it again, something really caught my eye.

“However, the forum is just being "used". Where as forums like the FOG are ever-popular, with people visiting regularly and generally having fun, the Web Design forum is merely being "used" for question and such like. Well, no longer! I want to turn this forum into a proper community.”

He is right here, this forum is only really used by people wanting questions answered, but I think that this forum is probably the best on the site. Mainly because nearly everyone in here knows what they are talking about. But I don’t like how the forum is used just for questions.

So here is what I propose, we use this thread for general chat. Not just web design, anything at all. Since not many people pass through this forum anymore, it won’t get spammed up too much, it’ll just be a place where people can go to be themselves.

If it doesn’t work, then fine. I just think this thread will be able to make this forum more of a community.

So… what’s up everyone? :0)

Heh, nothing I can do really about that. As long as it's blisteringly fast, I don't care what colour it is :)

I was going to go for a Ti4600, which I could afford, but it would only mean giving Phil a small amount of money for the effort. I'm not that tight ;)

OI!

It's a 333mhz... K6-2, 128mb RAM, 64mb Voodoo 5, around 17gigs total HDD space, in various filesystem formats.

However, I am getting an absolute best. XP2000+, 512mb DDR, Epox 8KHA+, Maxtor 40gb, Ricoh DVD/CD-rw combo, SB Live! 5.1, Macron 400w psu, ThermalTake Volcano 7, GeForce 3 Ti500 Gainward Golden Sample (PINK!!!) all in an Orchid 860B case. In short, it rules!

The computer I'm using is pretty good actually. It's

P3 500Mhz
128/256MB RAM - I can never remember, ain't looked in ages.
nVidia GeForce 2 Graphics Card
Soundblaster Live
20GB Hard Drive, although I might be getting another 10GB out of this computer :D.

Some of these specs might not be right, I havn't looked in ages. I'll get some exact specs later today when I can be bothered to hobble upstairs :).

Alright lads. Sorry I didn't come on yesterday but I had to go to bloody A+E with my inflated toe. Turns out I have broken it so no Football for about 3 weeks :(. Maybe it's a blessing to give me more time to get to grips with Linux :).

Talking about Linux, I ordered it this morning so it's on its way as we speak :D.
