I quite often contribute to other people's discussions about moderns stuff, because I've got knowledge I feel this place can help me share. I rarely start one of my own threads on moderns hardware though.

The thing that gets me most about the way the forum has evolved is the 'Conquests' forum has turned into an 'I just bought this' forum, rather than a place to post what gear you saved from the recyclers/crushers at a low price/free. It needs sorting out IMHO, and we're all guilty of promoting that to one extent or another.

Personally I don't care what people discuss here, but even I have limits. We're all a bit computer-nerd-esque so lets keep it at least on computers maybe? It certainly beats stupid threads about drinking a cold Pepsi.

We are all here because we share a common interest, but that doesn't mean we can't talk about *anything else* but old Macs, I mean tbh I find them about as interesting as dirty dishwater these days, but I hang around here for the people I know and get on well with, and sharing the knowledge I've built up over the years.
