    Forum names in the Tech category are being changed to keep posters on their toes. I remember aidan saying the main reasoning behind it was to make it more difficult for people to drunkpost in here.... :pac:

    Sssshhhhhhhhhhhh.


    Nah, in reality the change came about because there tended to be some confusion with people looking for the home DIY sections of boards. This should clarify that here isn't the place they're looking for.

    While you're at it, why don't you merge it with tweaking and modding and make it Building and Modding or something. I think the upgrading is implicit as it is only in the exceptional case that a person, who is taking on a project this nature, would be aiming to downgrade what they have currently.

    Then you'd have enthusiasts and hobbyists and their OC logs and casemods clashing with all the semi-skilled near-noobs coming here looking for help. I certainly think B&U should maintain very close links with O&M but I'm not that big a fan of any potential merger. I'd rather people got up off their bums and revived the Irish modding community and O&M as a result :p
