It has been a while since we mentioned the PC Perspective Forums on the front page, except of course the Fragging Frogs who have been having a great time lately and have put together some amazing VLANs full of gaming, fun and hardware giveaways. There is a lot more than that hidden behind the tab at the top of the page for you to discover. For anyone who has read about the latest and greatest hardware on our news and reviews but who isn't quite certain about if the hardware is right for them, we have a variety of forums specifically targeting the various components that we talk about. I don't just mean GPUs and Cases or Motherboards and Processors, there is a forum specifically devoted to overclocking in general and for specific components as well. You can also comment on my current choices on the Hardware Leaderboard and get feedback on your own choice of components.
If you have a working machine but are looking for tips on how to deal with Steam on Linux or what Windows tweaks might help you out then you are covered and can join in with the gurus which hang out here. If networking is more your thing, be it a small LAN or suggestions on strange errors you are seeing in a large network environment then check out this forum which also contains information on setting up and securing your network and the clients attached to it. If you have some old kit you would love to trade off for different equipment or were hoping for a deal on some used components; well head on over to the Trading Post and browse through the offers.
On the other hand if you are looking to harness the power of your PC for something a little more altruistic than Bitcoin why not join the Folding Frogs in the hunt for new configurations proteins which could help cancer research or join the BOINC crew to chug SETI or any of the wide variety of projects available in that Distributed Computing network. If fun and games is more to your liking right now then the Off Topic board is always hopping with humour; however if a nice argument is more your style then join in The Lightning Round!
Your comments on our posts are always appreciated but there is a lot more to discover on PC Perspective when you look behind the front page.
I’ve been a reader of PCPer
I’ve been a reader of PCPer for a few years now and I’ve never noticed the forums tab…
I’ll definitely check it out though!
Me either.

the forums are pretty empty
the forums are pretty empty in terms of folks online and contributing. HARDOCP and Tweaktown forums have been mine and a lot of other people to get non-official support help and general questions answered and reselling of items.
HardOCP have a pretty good
HardOCP have a pretty good gallery of case mods and different computer system set ups
Which is of course
Which is of course undoubtedly the reason for this news post, to attract more users to the forums.
The site itself would seem to be reasonably popular and well viewed, but the forums are struggling so theirs a natural desire to transition some of the readers to regular forum viewers.
It also helps keep them on the site, which is obviously a plus.
In any case, I’ll glance through but I’m not much one for forums. Pass by TechReport and Beyond3D’s boards every month or so but that’s about it.
Forums are a very important
Forums are a very important part of any website. I would like to see more activity in the trading section, not sure why it is so slow. I have bought many items there since being a member for over a decade, but it has dropped off. The more people post the more active it will become. So post some stuff at reasonable prices and they will sell !

What was the issue? The forums just underwent some changes so it may be fixed now.
Jeremy,

Jeremy,
When I have some time I will recompose. Essentially the link Ryan left didn’t work on mobile platforms. The way TWiT’s Schedule works on Google does. You can find the link at the top of their IRC Chat Page.

PS Even here it is not very mobile/tablet/Phabet friendly. Now I have to try to figure out the “word verification” :(((

Oh sure, now the calendar works and you immediately demand more! 😉
We will have to get the monkeys typing away filling up dates. Glad to hear you like it.
I suffer from forum fatigue.
I suffer from forum fatigue. At one point, I was signed up for so many forums, that I could literally not keep track of which forums I’d already signed up on. Mostly due to a need for support with hardware or software of some sort or other.
Now, I just hang out on the bicycling forums, free of the stress of having to change a thousand passwords when some hack occurs somewhere affecting some forums.
For the rest, the comments section is sufficient for me to display my appalling ignorance to the public at large. :whistle:
