How about the Tech Geek zone :P
I'm a tech geek. I'll admit it so it doesn't bother me.
YaY Geeks!:nerd
Why would we be offended? Just don't want it to put anyone off from coming in to ask for help. You need help modding this forum btw?
No, it's very appropriate
Fine by me. This place should be useful. Thanks. :toast
I'm too busy banging the chicks that ask me to come over and fix their computers to give a shit about the name of this forum....
i would have thought a music forum would make more sense but oh well.
I'm not, but I'm sure Kill_Bill will be.
So far, four people have asked about a music forum - I might add it. But dozens have people have asked for a tech forum, so I did it first.Quote:

I would have been offended if it were called The Dweeb Zone, but I'm perfectly okay with Geek.
What is it you want to know about music maybe I can help you here.Quote:

Yeah and I'll pretend to know the answer and laugh my ass off when you actually do what I recommend...Quote:

It doesnt show all of the forums, unless that was intended, or im supposed to set that myself?
I'm not a geek ;) so I don't know how to add them to the Forum Jump. But I'll ask timvp to do it.Quote:

Girls love geeks so it's fine....
Nerds zone would have been a lil less harsh
I'm offended this didn't come out sooner.
Hey, what about the movies forum???
I wish I was still a geek, but all the geek jobs got outsourced to India, :depressed

I'm not upset, but my NPC might be.
You should roll a Charisma check now, and if you fail then you must pass a Saving Throw vs. Charm otherwise he will begin to throw a fit.
Ooh, baby...talk nerdy to me.
Yes to proposition "Music Forum".Quote:

I prefer the term "dork".
Geek is the new cool, perhaps even the new black. Being a geek, providing that some rudimentary social skills are present, is not a social hindrance. In fact, it is generally well-regarded. So, short answer to the original question: No.
And that irritates me to a degree. I was a geek and a nerd when that was still a bad thing, damn it.Quote:

You must not be a geek. All you need to do is type this in:Quote:

See how easy that is.
Agreed. When I was a youngin', pirating floppys to game on my Commodore 64, I was not particularly cool. Still, the increased social standing is currently beneficial, especially here in the geeky Pacific Northwest.Quote:

So be it. I try to direct the fans of Bioshock(a great game) to System Shock and the Fallout series. The fans of the White Stripes to Iggy Pop and MC5. All told, a good thing.
I know that sounds pedantic or even condescending, but I don't mean it that way. Your post just got me thinkin', is all

Do I have to spell it all out for you? You should have noticed that the Spurs forum has the URL:Quote:

Just type a 3 before the 2 and enter. Don't strain yourself.
A real man enters the forum by typing

No.Quote:

I want to properly define my lameness. But then again, maybe that is what make me lame.
:lol
Geez, you are an agressive type, arent you? I am not an idiot, yes i do know how forums work, and *gasp* know what a web address is. I am even aware of the many ways of navigating this website.Quote:

Sorry, just playing the role of the insulting geek, best exemplified by the BOFH.
Geek:
Noun.
A carnival performer who performs sensationally morbid or disgusting acts, as biting off the head of a live chicken.
Who knew that so many here had THAT skeleton in their closets?!?!
:wow
It's actually not as bad as it sounds. Good eating.
its like sushi except with chickenQuote:

And with video games being as good as they are now, it's become a lot more mainstream to be a gamer. In any case, if I knew as much about computers and played as many video games in high school as I do now I probably would have been crucified, but the clearly times have and are a changin.
It's the digital age for christsakes- if we use the word digital to describe our entire historical epoch, it probably isn't that geeky anymore to be informed about technology.
