    I'm thinking instead of having

    "H3 Support"
    "H2 Support"
    "Xbox 1 Support"
    "Xbox 360 Support"
    "Tech Support"

    To meld these into one section in the lobby called "Newb Section" where you can ask anything from soldering modchip, to homework questions.

    GFX will stay separate, don't discuss that.

    Ideas/Complaints/Suggestions please.

    I like the idea, although calling it the Newb/Noob section doesn't sound like a help section lol.

    I 100% support the idea, just consider giving it a new name is all.

    Its seems like the sections are to differnt to be one. Maybe Support section in some section with likesub forums like "Halo 2/3 Support" and "Xbox/360 Support" and then "tech support.

    A help section is always cluttered, it would increase help times by like 100x and everyone would view it. It would be like the 2nd spam section, except for help. Then in time making other sections 10x cleaner.

    If your just trying to reorganize i would suggest putting it together even calling it what you want but make sure you add some kind of note to what shall be discussed in that section. cause "newb section" can be a very big topic heck even stuff not related to this site so if you call it that add some kind of guide to what shall be discussed :rtfm:

    I like the idea but not the name. Maybe just plain old support or help section?

    Can you create a system/script that can let users / mods add/change the type of support it is.

    This way it could be like.. (examples):

    [Tech] I need help modifying my pc start button.
    [H3] I do not understand what's happening with the new NXE update.
    [H2]...
    [Xbox]...
    [X360]...
    [Solved]

    I mean, differen't colours is optional, but that would help keep that section clean.
    You should also make sure that new threads cannot be created unless a tag is selected (no default)

    It will probably be in different sub-forums. Not just dumped in the one section.

    I dont mind the name. I think its a good idea.
    If a better name comes up then fine but its still okay.

    I know you said not to discuss GFX
    but how about this

    Graphics
    -GFX Help
    -Showoff
    -Resources

    ((-)means sub forum)

    He isn't getting rid of the GFX section he just isn't adding the GFX help with the other help stuff, keeping it separate.

    Those would be good if the Graphics section was more active but its pretty much dead ATM
