Hardware Section guidelines:
Keep posts and replies relevant to the section topics including but not necessarily limited to, hardware and/or software problems, questions, sales, trades, and tweaks.
Keep replies relevant to original post’s topic.
Keep it civil. Don’t flame anyone b/c they are wrong or misinformed.
No hardware vs. hardware or software vs. software debates unless someone directly asks an opinion of one over another. And keep it civil. (#3)
Please read through previous threads to see if your question has already been asked and/or answered.
These guidelines are just that, guidelines. They are subject to change in order to fill our needs. However, I think they are fair and reasonable. Any posts that fall outside these guidelines are subject to deletion w/o warning.
In the future forums, I may try to keep/compile an FAQ for game tweaks and other hardware information. No promises.
