As someone who has suggested new forums in the past, I see the two decisive factors as 1) volume of posts, and/or 2) people tired of seeing the topic in question pollute their favorite forum ;) For now, if the topic is generic, use General Q&A or Open forum. If more specific, use Networking, Databases, whatever applies. If the volume rises (and I've only heard you and Doug discuss this so far), then a new forum is in order. My 2 cents.

This ain't MAIK-Nauka (Russian Academy of $ciences) Publ. house. And why should someone have to Guess re this rather specific topic's location, one day to the next - further diluting any chance for piquing a bit of interest about the next Rilly-Big Thing ? Huh? Admin - I second slugbug's nomination. She's earned one. Sans BS. Ashton If it doesn't work out.. it can join Supercomputers - proving that zIWE's so Advanced, we're Retro.

I support the idea + have contribution Cheers Doug (I previously suggested wifi as a sep forum topic but the response to that idea was similar to the response to your suggestion (doesn't mean we are wrong - perhaps just a little bit to ahead of the masses :-) )
