New Forum Suggestion
-
I had a thought - why don't we have a forum where we can post what tools we use - freeware only, no paid or shareware apps in order to keep the ad trolls away... The good thing about the voting system is that as people here use the tools they can vote up or down whether they like them or not. Like yesterday, someone was complaining about Roxio, and I suggested ImgBurn - several follow on posters liked it and one mentioned how that was the only reason he went through the ranting posts...

I think I was the one who benefited from your post and I like your suggestion. I often bookmark a forum posts\mainly because I’m behind WebSense and want to catch up with the links later at home\ and probably 90% of those bookmarked posts contain a link to some free/inexpensive tool I want to look at. Though such a forum will be very hard to be moderated. Someone will have to constantly check the post and delete the links to commercial tools/applications. Otherwise it will be unfear to the CP customers who pay for the banners.

It would be nice if there could be some kind of ordering on this too, not sure how it would be achieved, so we could see the most popular tools first. Otherwise the best tools will get buried - as they'll presumably be recommended earlier, and its generally not considered good form to repost. Another possibility would be to "pin" some so they always appear near the top. A lot of gamer's sites have this feature, so the 5 most commonly asked/looked for tips appear before the user loses patience and asks again.
