    I miss the ole' once a month. Hmmm, next week maybe. I may even donate to it. There are alot of post's this past couple of weeks by the 04' guys that just make me wish that av8 or **** or Rouge or cole or BobBleed would post something cool. Kinda like the louver post that I missed in the computer crash. Or how about the "stolen Rocky Model A" that I have not seen in along time.

    We need another "official" TECH week. It's been a while. I 'd like to see everyone that's posted tech-style stuff recently in their own posts, to re-post in ONE forum for all of us to see. I'm sure I missed some, since I'm on the HAMB every few days, not neccesarily EVERYDAY. Tech week is great because we see a bunch of cool stuff all at once.

    I have been taking pics of 'TECH' stuff that I'd like to post and share as well. I hate to post 'TECH' stuff and have it lost into obscurity, because my small ***le only intrigues a few people, when in fact a lot may benefit! I have been waiting for an official "TECH week", myself... [​IMG]

    Why do we need an official "Tech Week?"

    Why can't people just post their tech without the added incentive of a goody for the best article, and a compe***ion?

    Remember that "tech Week" started as a punishment of sorts to weed out all the bull **** posts.

    I agree that some of the same things are going on now but to far less of an extent.

    I just hate the idea that people are WAITING for "Tech Week" to post their stuff. Those people don't belong on the HAMB any more than the ****ups trying to get in the pants of the new girl.

    RocketJ2- I still have to finish the web page...don't jump the gun on me!

    I think I may not have stated my point clearly.. what I meant to come across with, is that I look forward to tech week because I know I can catch a bunch of stuff all at once. There's been a few times when someone happens to post on a Tech that may have been done weeks or months before that I missed, because few people commented on it, and so it was bumped way back down. The only way I caught it is that it was bumped back up to the top.
    I certainly didn't mean that people should wait to post tech stuff, and a prize clearly isn't the reason to post stuff. It's just cool to know that there will be a bunch of stuff reletively close together to cruise through during a "tech week". That was my point.

    SoWhat: Can people post directly into the tech Archive? From the rules, it's like it's sorted and organized regularly. What if we had a separate place to post TECH only stuff as we create it? We wouldn't need a "Tech Week" and people wouldn't miss tech-style postings if there was one place to look...just an idea...
     
  10. There's a lot of tech stuff out there that sorta disappeared into cyberspace.

    If you've got a favorite, why not bring it back and re-post it?

    Probably entails a little digging, but all you gotta do is one and if 19 more people do the same then we've saved twenty tech posts.
