Having recently started following the Village pump (news) pages, I am not sure of the protocol but the addition of these items (aka questions) seems more like disruption than news.

  • 37 Comparing the new 64 bit processor
  • 38 MFLOP
  • 39 DEFFERENCE BETWEEN RISC AND CISC
  • 40 how to build a 10 TFLOP calculator

Would any object if I just removed them. Trödel|talk 13:59, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

Move them to that place for such questions. r3m0t 15:46, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

Using the "post" link in the blue header disrupts the "link to next section" header. The two are not compatible, one should go. Alfio 20:40, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

WikiSysops.com - Where (if anywhere) to post an announcement?

I've just set up a forum for wiki admins, webmasters, developers and any other interested parties at wikisysops.com. I'd like to announce it in a suitable place but I don't want to be accused of spamming. I was thinking of here (wikipedia:Village pump (news)), Misplaced Pages:Village pump (miscellaneous), and/or Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard. Comments anyone? --kingboyk 17:08, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Wouldn't it be possible instead (somehow?) for Misplaced Pages or metawiki to host phpBB forums? That would be my preference, and not sure if it's been pursued or discussed yet? I noticed your site has no advertising. :) But, if it were really to be significantly used by admins, developers, etc., then the traffic volume to the site could potentially become quite high, along with site maintence costs. Then, would you still be able to host it w/o ads or what? —Kmf164 (talk | contribs) 17:17, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Well it's not meant to be wikimedia or mediawiki specific, more of a hang out place for people interested in chatting about the technical side of wikis of whatever flavour (people just like me, in other words :) ). Never likely to get much traffic (I have 1TB/month allowance anyhow). I've bought the domain now and it has a host so let's see what happens.
Anyway, to my actual question - What say you about where if anywhere here it would be appropriate to post an announcement? --kingboyk 17:43, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
I don't know where/if it's appropriate. I'll let others weigh in. Kmf164 17:47, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
On hold for now. Having just a forum didn't grab me. I'll get something better up and return. --kingboyk 09:38, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
