Hi All,

First of all, feel free to shoot me down in flames if you feel you must, but, I think the time has come to slim down the "Team Picard's" projects and "Team 3DHQ'" projects dividors.

As someone who has been around for a long time. (although I won't claim to be a active poster, you will certainly find me lurking a lot.) I think that all of the distributed computing forums should be moved up a level, so that we just have all the projects that all of our combined members are contributing to.

I do not feel there is any sense of them & us (and I wouldn't know if I was a them or an us anyway :) ) So why should there continue to be a propogation of a devide that doesn't exist.

The forums could still have a reference to which team name was registered if people felt strongly either way.

As a group we all work together on lots of different projects, and I think it would be good to see all of the projects that are worked on under one heading.

I am sincerely not trying to cause problems or make waves. So if the mods think this would cause problems then just delete the post. I intend to post the same message in all distributed computing forums for feedback.

you mean just having one (open) category with all 5 DC forums in it?
Would be better and more easy to navigate than sub-forums, plus it brings them out into the open, far more friendly for inquisitive new users IMHO. The sub-forum format makes it feel too much like an exclusive club.

Come get in on the action - the debate is raging in Maths and Seti at the moment

I'm yet to read the other discussion on this, but having all the DC teams 'out in the open' as opposed to sub forums IMHO is a great idea. We can still have them under 'Team Picard' and '3DHQ (or Team Ninja, whatever the case may be) just not hidden. It would be nice to see all the projects listed.

I'd also like to see them higher up on the forum page :xsofa:

Oh, I'd also like to add that both Team Picard and 3DHQ (or Team Ninja) are happy as their own entities and don't see a need to force change there. We've overcome a lot since merging Ninja and 3DHQ and have proved that two teams CAN indeed co-exist on one site. I'm very proud of us for that! :D
