Let's say you're a noob with a Windows problem, a video card problem, a game problem and some obvious software questions.
In what section of the board would you place them?
This is how the noob would think:
Well it is not About our website and this Forum.
Nope, it isn't Filesharing either.
The Guestroom is obviously just for guests.
It is not Kazaa Lite Related.
There it is, I'll just post all my questions in General Problems and Questions.
Then, with all the other noobs thinking the same way, they all post their similar questions in the same section.
But then the noobs start thinking:
Damn, at this rate my questions will never be answered!
I'll just post around the same thing over and over and wait until someone answers. Hmmmm, that Offtopic sure comes in handy.
You see, if you don't specify a board section it will tend to clog up with questions that will soon be left behind and people will ask them over and over.
