Just never see too much activity, and with format "wars" over the reason for this forum being created I am not sure still exists? The arguments over which is better and why really don't matter anymore. The general issues could IMO go into the Blu-Ray or HD DVD forums as required. Just might save some space and people searching for threads? Just a thought as I rarely look in here now myself.
ajm
I think the general one could go without too many tears or tantrums. At the same time, the HD DVD section could be pared down to the trading and the cheap discs threads without anyone really noticing.

I'd have to agree with that.

Although we'd have to find a home for the good traders sticky. biggrin.gif

LOL

I thought you mean meant the whole DTV forum and I thought WTF.
But I see you just mean these specific threads or part of the forum.

Not quite so drastic.

Probably worthy of consideration.

LOL yeah I guess it could be read that way. I never know what to call these? Sub Forums? But yes I only meant the General Discussion one.

Kazz is right some threads need to be retained like the Good Traders.
AK Anthony
I don't see a major point in having this sub-forum either becasue most stuff nowadays (bar the Good Trader's Thread as Kazz suggested) tends to fit in another exisitng sub-forum.

Would free up the boards a bit as well i would imagine.

Okay on behalf of the save the General HD DVD and Blu-Ray Discussion sub forum protest group and conservation of historical threads, sub forum, topics and general and miscellaneous save anything that people want shafted do gooders division for keeping the dream alive discussion group,

Good afternoon. In less than an hour, forum members from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest forum battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the 2nd of July, and you will once again be fighting for our sub forum... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation ohmy.gif . We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the 2nd of July will no longer be known as a waste of time, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our save this sub forum day.

Not quite true. I had Colour TV from the day I was born. But then moved to Australia in 74 and recall asking my mum why we couldn't afford a colour TV anymore. Took me a while to understand it was'nt as simple as going to the shop and buying one.

I'm sure a quick scan of the constitution will reveal an amendment that covers the rampant destruction of sub-forums....but on the other hand, if nobody goes there...how'l they know it's gone (cue Zen-type background music)

I think there is some use in a general HD forum for discussing the various HD options like downloads. Of course I'm not sure where it should go.
