Bring on more comments and suggestions on how to improve TE and its quality.
IMO it is not the members nor the mods, its TE that has lost some of its charm that is because of the partition.:S
What can be done
please please bring combine FE with TE and let it EVOLVE:cool2: , it would be no use competing with international forums primarily because of the ignorance among people and hence the underdeveloped market from which hardware comes leading to much higher prices
. I think we will be competing with any other forums if only we get the hardware at that prices, let alone the test samples.
I don't know how and when did TE start but I certainly know that it has come to this point where people are so enthusiastic about it js just because they feel a part of it. I mean i won't be writing here if I didn't care about it.
If it had not been TE then i would had been stuck at TT :ashamed: till today trying to find light out of no where.
There should be some fun involved in everything we do, all work and no play(fun) makes overclocked a dull boy.:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Just my one cent not even two :bleh:

EDIT : ^^ Very well said Overclocked ! Personally I am also against the Partition of TE and FE ! Everthing was Going so well for Techenclave before the Partition , I wonder what made Admins to make such a decision :| ! Anyways I also completely agree that ATM there is no Point competing with Big Tech sites/Forums Like Guru3d , anandtech etc , if at all we should be competing it should be against Indian Tech sites and needless to say Techenclave wins Hands-down there !
@ Admins
Well to Begin with , You must improve the Home page of Techenclave !Its not very well Organized and Looks Un-impressive and as we all Know first Impression is the Last Impression ! You can make the Home Page Look more colorfull and stylish and at the same Time it should be Packed with Important and Usefull Information ! I mean Just Take an Inspiration frm Big Sites Like Guru3d , Yahoo , Ign , Toms Hardware ect etc . All of These Sites Have Great Home-pages which Immediately Grab Attention of Newcomers and Force Them to Register ! I Feel the Presentation of the Home Page is very Important , which TE is Lacking ATM
!
Another very Important and Usefull Feature which I mentioned in my previous Post is the Price Guide section ! I am sure many members Here have very Good contacts with the Dealers and distributers therefore its very Difficult for me to Understand why that section cannot be Updated atleast Once a Week ! And Yeah That section definately Needs a Face Lift , I mean the Presentation of that section is Plain Horrible , it can be Organized in Much Better ways !
As Mohit Mentioned he has good contacts with the Dealers and he is willing to Help , Then why Not Give Him the Duty of Updating the Price Guide section atleast Once a Week ? I am sure He would be Glad to Help !
Alright Below is my Rough Idea of How the Homepage of TE must Look Like :
#1 : PRESENTATION : The Presentation is the Key Here ! Make the Homepage Look more colorfull and stylish ! We can Begin with a small intoduction Like , what is TE , what is its aim and that its a Proud Indian Community etc etc !
#2 : REVIEW SECTION : Then there should be a Review section in which Latest and some Top Reviews should be Mentioned with a Link to the fULL Review ! Now This can be made to Look very Presentable with Things Like a small Pic of the Product Reviewed , a solid Punch-Line and some sought of a User Rating !
#3 : PRICE GUIDE SECTION : Then There should be a Price Guide section on the Main-page where The Latest Prices of some Latest Products will be mentioned, Mind you there will only be Few Latest Prices for any other Product Prices the user will Have to click the Link and go to the mainpage of the Price Guide section ! Again This should be made Presentable. For e.g - There can be A small Pic of the product along with its Latest Prices !
#3 : MARKET : You can also make the Market section on the Main Page ! Only Hot Deals will be mentioned in this section along with the Link to the actual Thread !
#4 : RIG SECTION : Then There is the Rig Gallery ! This is by Far one of the best Features of TE and I simply Love It
! If its That Good then why not Highlight it ? You can mention a Few Random Rigs in This section and then Link it to the actual Gallery ! Getting ur Rig on the Main Page of TE ,now thats what I call Coooool !
hyeah:
#5 : NEWS SECTION : Alright now This can be an Interesting and a very Usefull section ! Its called the Latest News section ! Now I am sure Many of u must Have Visited ign.com , Notice the sidebar which contains all the Latest News , Reviews , Previews , Features etc etc , Now I am Not saying u simply copy ign BUT u can always Take some Inspiration ! I would Personally Like to see the Sidebar with all The Latest News ! Its not Mandatory that only Tech News should be mentioned , infact any Kind of News Like Tech , entertainment , Gaming , Political or latest events can be mentioned in this section ! Now only the Mods and admins will Have the athourity to Post in this section ! This section will be solely Meant for Reading ! The Reason for That is everytime some Kind of cool News is Posted there is a common Response to it like Good , cool , Nice Thread , awesome Blah blah blah..... This I consider as spam so it will be better if Nothing is Posted ! Infact we Have some very Good Mods Like Dipdude who can contribute Nicely to this section , as he has done in the Past
! In The sidebar below the Latest News some Recent going on sensible Poll could also be mentioned !
#6 FORUMS : Alright Last but not the Least the Forum itself should be Given a Mention ! The Latest and Interesting Threads can be Displayed in This section !
Other then his some small Things Like Stats , Birthdays , Funenclave Search etc etc can be Mentioned ! Always Remember Presentaion is the Key ! Take some Inspiration from Big sites Like Yahoo , Ign , Guru3d etc etc and make the TE experience as better as Possible !
Thats all I can Think of ATM , I Hope some of These Things will Get Implemented ,
Regards

i havent read all big big discussions but stil my few cents...
i dont think the mods/admins or the staff in short are being harsh or over moderation or something like that.. instead they are doing a very good job over these months maintaining the forums like this... :hap2:
and TE losing its charm over the days, may be its cos some ppl have not liked the partition and may take their time to adjust in swapping between these two. or in turn which may lead them to stop visiting one site.. myself, sometimes i don get much time to vistit both forums and view all the new posts and hence no time to post..... I guess time will heal all the downtimes.....
And regarding the presentation, the forums are clean and simple as of now.. why do we need to make it more stylish and make it hard to load and also giving heavy load to server... @OT: these attempts will make TE offline for days... server change/implementing new that n this.. and i dont want it..

So far, this thread has put forward the following questions :-
1> Should TE and FE be merged? ( IMO, obviously not ).
2> Should TE try to do professional reviews of hardware acquired thru various contacts? ( Yes!!! )
3> How can TE try to enter the league of the big forums like XS, AT, etc? ( Can't say anything about this )
4> Why can't Bluffmaster use the normal font? ( :S No idea about this :huh: )
