Scattered forums

[ish420]

Well I recently went back to the old forums and wondered, "where is everyone at?" I guess everyone is scattered in both forums. Are we keeping this forum permanently? Or do people not realize the old forums are back?

Close this one or maby set the pandora pages here so we can onlye read pandora fora

It is a bit of a mess. www.openpandora.org still points to the new forums while implying the old ones are still offline. I think I read someone mention they were planning to move the old forum to a better server and were waiting till that was done but who knows.

Either keep these forums as they are better organised with the various sub forums or add more subforums into the GP2x ones, at the moment this Forum is much better to use for Pandora.

I think that might not be an oversight. In the long run it might be better to have an autonomous forum for Pandora, as it is more or less a new company making a new device. To be dependent on things outside the company may do harm, just look at the slashdot-fiasko. In OpenPandoras hands there would have been more scope to react. If they plan to go their own way, the chance is now, because the new forum is already alive.

this is already being discussed in this thread. why scatter discussion on "scattered forums" over different threads in the same forum?

Read the thread titles. That are different approaches to the topic. An unbiased discussion should be prefered. I think this thread is a good start, because the dust has settled a bit in the meantime.

My suggestion is to move the developer-section of gp32x here and convert some of the sticky threads to a forum faq. The structure of this forum is better. The rest of the pandora section of gp32x could be collected in a pre-preorder archive.

maybe they should put it to the vote, but i think a decision should be made sooner rather than later. We don't want to lose threads.

At the moment i have both forums open on GD...

"where is everyone at?"

I think a lot of them are on Slipzone discussing jakshep2, if the rumours are to be believed....

The forums will merge.

Also, this does not belong in here. Moved.

Do not confuse a deficit of posts for a deficit of interest. At any given time, there are more people browsing the GP32X forums than these forums. There may be fewer new posts there, but the signal to noise ratio is much higher.

This place is purely just noise...

Yes, mainly because some gp32x seniors preferably come here to post off topic stuff, making it impossible to follow a thread. Capturing a Thread and posting about themselves trading porn as kids. A funny read, but on a public forum that is linked to the homepage of a startup company, it is a little off, don't you think?
I understand that people are a little bored waiting for delivery, but a little more reticence shouldn't hurt.
