Nah, he's just a curio.

Anyway, Bob and I are off to begin our conquest by correcting mass comma abuse/neglect. Heil Bob!
 
I would like to add my +1 to GaryVdH's suggestion: Can't we get some forum database integration between myGaming and myBroadband?
 
There appears to be a lot of correlation between myGaming and myBroadband. Maybe it's just one sided from myBroadband towards myGaming, but one really gets the impression that they are the same place.

It feels silly to me having two unique forum accounts for two similar forums.

Well yes ... it's being run by the same people, as far as I know - and there is some correlation, but myGaming focuses specifically on the gaming market, while myBroadband focuses on telecoms and technology. So there's some overlap, but they don't really integrate all that much.

I've barely been back to myBB since I moved over here.

MyBB and MyG are owned by the same company which is why there is correlation. But like Shadow said we dont really mix. Some of us actually harbour a deep seated hatred of the MyBB forums.
 
Why does myBroadband's forum have its own gaming section when the same guys run a myGaming forum dedicated to gaming then? Wouldn't it be best to merge the two? I am sure that I am not the only person who has two browser windows open for the same companies two forums?

I am pretty sure u are the only person with 2 Browsers open :wtf: try chrome 2 tabs are much easier. They have a game section Because they have their own user base that maybe only be casual gaming enthusiasts. I found that the MyBB game section was slow and out of date.

No it wouldn't be best. MyG is a community on its own as is MyBB. If we wanted to mix we would go there or they would come here. Leave the forum as is.

MyBB had the gaming section for a while true, but I think demand for a proper gaming section led to the creation of myGaming, since normal gaming articles would just get lost in the noise over on myBB. MyGaming allows itself to be more diverse while keeping to the gaming industry. I believe it also made it easier to hire/pull in writers and staff that could specifically write about gaming for the site without causing logistical issues.

Also ... what Omega mentioned ...

As much as people complain about newbies here, the amount of hostility towards newcomers on myBB is much, much worse.
