Bumped, mainly due to the tumbleweeds forming in the Acorn and Sinclair subforums.
Hey dude - sorry for the delayed response on this. Things like categories are still 'in flux' and are open to being tweaked. I'm the one responsible for the intial layout of the categories, so the blame/praise can land on my head!
Initially, my though was this - I wanted a place that was distinct for each platform, so that 'generic 8-bit' wouldn't just get flooded, and people looking for info on a particular machine or issue would be able to go 'Ah, i have an archimedes, i'll post in the Acorn section' - after all, 'If you build it, they will come".
Also, Acorn being overlooked/unknown by a majority of people outside the UK, even though it's impact on the computer industry as a whole is still felt to this day, with the whole inventing ARM thing.
The way *I* personally see it, is that we're only 5 months in, membership is still growing and because we started off with a lot of Apple content, it might not be obvious to people that there ARE other sections on here. It's one of the growing pains we're experiencing - cause to get people in, you need good content. But to have good content, you need people to post, which you can't get, until you have something that draws them in...!
We'd *love* some more content from people involved in non-Apple circles and also content in areas that aren't even computing related, such as the food, cars, home diy sections.
It's certainly something that we've discussed in the board meetings so far.
