When the layout of the Digit Forum Index was changed recently, "Hardware Discussion" became "Hardware Reviews". To me this implies that the forum is only for reviews.
The old name encompassed any hardware-related topic such as tips and tweaks, questions, prices, problems and solutions, buying decisions, etc. and of course, reviews too. But the new name would seem to preclude all of these except reviews of products.
Old hands and those who simply don't think about it may have continued posting about any hardware topic without hesitation, but some of those who stop to think about it may feel diffident about starting a thread about anything but reviews. Or was this the admins' intention all along - to discourage a wider range of discussion ? Or, in other words, to narrow down the field ?
What do you think ? Have you given it any thought at all ?
