Can we get a tech com please? I don't mind modding. I know the bigger insts have very large tech coms but I figure a place for locals to post about tech without the whole fv watching could also come in handy. Probably best to call it technology but I don't mind tech either. Whatever yall want to roll with.

Can I just suggest the name !austech, or something else that makes it clear not just from the instance but also the name that it's intended to focus on local tech concerns.

Call it DickSmith's OzeTech

Fun url /C/dicksmiths when spoken out.

I was thinking about this as well, we do have [email protected] but that is more or less dead and has a confusing name.

It's hard to compete in a niche where there's already a well-established incumbent (OzBargain). Almost everything submitted there is just links to the site anyway, which seems superfluous.

Is the bapc community just for building PCs, or more of a general place to post hardware deals?

It might pick up again. It would be good to keep around as a separate sales and builds comm if it does pick up so as not to overwhelm a more general tech news and discussion comm.

I'd never heard the term bapc before. Maybe add a comms description in the sidebar to help folks find it.
