We have never had such a forum to avoid targeting the teenage / gamer type, instead trying to focus on reaching and attracting professionals with careers in IT. However, such discussion would be welcome in the Geeks' Lounge.

well, that has kinda failed as me, joshsch, christina,serunson and all the rest of the "myspace generation" are all using this forum

ok, I understand.

How many people here would like a forum like that?

Yeah, I'm a teenager too.

I would but im worried it would attract modders and pirates

I think I would and I have not been a teen-ager for many years now. My grandon is a teenager -- does that count

well if it wouldnt atract modders and pirates because those topics are not allowed here.
so I got 2 votes so far.

I understan pirates, but why not modders? My understanding is that they create modifications of the games -- Diablo LOD ((C)Blizzard) had lots of them that are fun to play. Some games are writtin with that in mind.

well, isn't modding games illegal? maybe not.
that's still 2 votes.

Instead of restating my arguments about it, I'll simply link to this thread.

>I got 2 votes so far.
There's lots of people that are in support of it. But that's not the issue here, as far as I can tell.

>well, isn't modding games illegal?
Depends. If the developer releases a mod kit for a game they've created, modding it is perfectly legal as long as you use the tools they provide. Where it turns illegal is when you start hacking the game itself, for example, giving yourself unfair advantages over other people in a multiplayer game.
