"Hardware" Sub-forum

[pjk]

What do you guys think of a "hardware" subforum, which would include questions like:
what kind of cube to get, how to lube cubes, DIY questions, 9spuzzles vs cube4you,discuss what to buy, where to buy from, and how to tune your DIY into the ultimate speedcube.

hmmm
I don't know how much activity it would get. But then of course we already have a sticky on Cube Comparison yet there are a million threads about cubes anyway... it could be helpful. I'll vote yes.

I think it would be a good idea.

I think you may as well try it out, and if it doesn't go well the useful threads could be stickied and put in the beginners forum.

I think those would pretty much be the main questions/topics in the Hardware forum, there's not much to talk about besides buying cubes (where/how/what), and how to tune your DIY. I think you should just make stickied threads in the speedcubing and beginner's forums instead.

There's already such a sticky in the Beginner's forum, and yet I still see lots of posts regarding DIYs, cube lube, etc. scattered all over the Beginners, General Speedcubing, and even Off Topic sections. Everyone seems to have their own questions as well as their own unique experiences to share that would be kind of hard to cover in a single sticky thread.

Maybe a "how-to-get-faster" sub-forum in general... I don't think a "hardware" sub-forum would get much activity (like how the how-to/guide sub-forum doesn't). Plus, most people don't like being called "beginners", imo.

Currently, discussions that would belong in such a forum are being held everywhere, such as speedcubing, OH, and even the novice thread! Having these discussions consolidated into one neat forum would certainly help.

"Yes, we need one."

 

[Crzyazn]

This would also help boost discussion of cube structure modification

+1 vote for this new subforum

I think it might.

 

[ThePizzaGuy92]

i think that would be neat

 

[alexc]

I really think this would help clean up the forums of all the repetitive threads about lubing, which cubes are best, etc.

I think it would be very helpful because the is a forum a week on what cube to get
