This is not a news syndication forum by surfichris on 02-03-2006 at 01:58 AM

I'd just like to let everyone know that this isn't a news syndication forum so don't post threads just quoting news items on other sites with a link to them.

It's fine to talk about technology news here, however if you're going to do so, actually make a contribution to the topic instead of just quoting another source and pasting a link to it.

Example of bad post:

They've decided to switch to Apple's proprietary operating system, Mac OSX.

How to improve upon the example:
  • Add your own thoughts to the thread regarding the topic you're posting about.
  • Don't post it at all.
Cheers, and thanks for the party!
