Ideas for 3 new boards
Feb 25^th, 2008 at 12:18am

I have idea for 3 new boards:

1. Forum/web site related stuff (which I've been focused on lately). This would include this post.
2. NightOwl's Bootable CD/DVD. This topic gets many questions/threads/posts. Seems like I'm always forwarding emails to him.
3. Non-Ghost Cloning programs (such as Pleo's new darling, ShadowProtect)

http://www.storagecraft.com/products/ShadowProtectDesktop/

Now that we have server horsepower, I'm not afraid to open up the forums and use it. The first board would go at the bottom, below General Discussion.

#'s 2 & 3 would go between Ghost 2003 and Non-Ghost Related Technical discussion (which would refocus on "Hardware & Non-Cloning Software").

What do you think?

I received a message inquiring about a Linux forum and Ghost issues:

Quote:

NightOwl,

Do we need a Ghost 2003 - Linux forum?

I have recently been working thru some problems with the different distros of Linux. Mandriva 2008 for example can be backed up using a disk copy. I just finished restoring my backup and even the boot to Windows (Windows Vista 32 in this case) worked.

Those guys did a heck of a good job back in 2003.

Would be an area for MrMagoo's expertise!

I think we had a thread like this a year ago, or so when you were planning an update to a new forum version--and we wondered if it will get too complicated to have multiple boards with narrow topics--but,... it does organize the threads--if folks keep them straight (yeah--like that's going to happen, right!)--but we also concluded that many issues overlap--so I think you added one board, and re-titled the others--and left it at that.

Yeah, I don't think it's wise to add boards for the sake of merely having more boards. But if we could really *use* them, and they would genuinely help with forum-organization, then I think it's a good idea .. especially now that we have the server horsepower that could handle more boards, and the extra users this might enable.

To avoid confusion, shouldn't the "NightOwl's Bootable CD/DVD" board be titled "NightOwl's Ghost 2003 Bootable CD/DVD"?
Or is someone going to provide guides for other Ghost versions?

Edit: I just read the sub-title, which I missed the first time, so I guess I answered my own question.
"This board is dedicated to discussions about NightOwl's Bootable CD/DVD, and all bootable CD/DVDs, specifically how to create them."

I would certainly be more than happy to create any type of board Magoo wants. He has lots of great knowledge. I'm always picking his brain.
