Dear SCF Members,
last months We're thinking (SCF Team) about the possibility of increasing the number of visitors if we expand SCforum's activity.
Most people do not understand the complexity of PC security, they come here at SCF, solve the problem and disappear... until the next one appears.
So We decided that it's time to re-brand SCforum, after 7 Years, SCforum will change name, from Security [CENTRAL] Forum to Samker's Computer Forum.
In the future, you can expect some changes in "organisation", a little less topics about PC security and more common PC topics (general hardware & software news, downloads, problems etc.).
This would imply a change(s) of logo, of course, domain will stay the same. ;)
Feel free to comment this decision or/and to spread your ideas/thoughts in replies.
All The Best,
Samker

I guess it would restrict the name to your identity and as per me it should be a common generic name so I liked the old one more than the new one.
And I doubt it would decrease the popularity of the forum.
-
Excellent idea Sam... :thumbsup: But new name should be Samker's Security Computer Forum! I agree .. :up:
-
Security just doesn't cover it anymore if I'm pretty much the only one actively posting...
Domain change is a no no
So SCForum should stand for something.
This being Samker's forum... And it's about computers... Well if fits just perfectly.
So I don't agree with the others here ;p
What do you propose... Sexy Computer Forum? :>
-
Sexy computers.... uhm...
-
Secure Computing Forum??
-
Sexy computers.... uhm...
:) I could live with that...
But why take away all the credits... It *is* Samker's Computer forum... No? ;p

"The Name" - We have already discussed about this in the hidden boards of SCforum's (boards only for Admins and Mods)... unfortunately or fortunately, this is a final solution/decision.
Here You have a good explanation of the reasons (Thanks D. :thumbsup:): http://scforum.info/index.php/topic,9123.msg24905.html#msg24905
However, I would like this story to turn in another direction... How to increase the number of active participants in SCforum's topics?

OOPS, I am not a mod anymore so not aware that its final. Anyhow, good though members can be increased by arranging giveaways rather some exclusive giveaways so that they can share about the forum and more members can come to resolve their computer issues.
Rest, you can add more trained people who can actually take care of sub forums if created or needs to create like Server, Networking, Linux, Virtualization etc so that more people can ask their issues and hence more activity

Have you installed JS from advertising companies, I am getting pop ups though after a damn long time in my PC. I hope, m not infected lolz.

Pal, simply you have not been online for a while... but You have your place at SCforum, so if you have enough Free time to spend on SCforum (like Devvie & Jheysen) I'll be honored to give you Mod status again. What do you say?

Don't worry your PC is fine, I'm just testing some new advertising options. ;)

Yup, I understand and this is the way it should work, just wrote as m not now so wasn't aware of the things. As of now, damn busy with my IT certifications and career. I don't think that would get that much time for next 2-3 years and hence haven't started the forum for EG too so later on would be back for the designation as then I would start the forum for EG as well for everything from Home Computing to MS Servers, Linux, Networking, Database etc etc.
I saw the Linux thread but its not upto the mark just the sharing news thing, as I guess we don't have much Linux users in the forum here.
Hmmm, I am gradually moving to Linux as my primary OS so time to get worry free atleast to an extent. Just need to decide if Debian or Fedora though m already a Red Hat Certified Engineer now and not a big deal if I use Fedora on Desktop and Debian on Laptop :). Good, will discuss things regarding ads in detail with you in July as now m busy in my papers.
-
Well, I see more Debian-based servers than other distros :p (Debian-based includes Ubuntu)
-
I never liked Ubuntu, its for newbies though now thought of moving to Debian as was interested in Backtrack rather the Kali Linux. I always liked RedHat don't know why but as its paid so thought of Debian as Google uses it and atleast I should know one other Linux if m not ready to pay as for me Linux should be free for what it was created.
Yup, Debian servers are there but if we talk commercial then no doubt Red Hat is the leader atleast till now.
-
Well, supposedly, the main linux flavors are Debian and Slackware, but I stick to Debian :p
If you have servers with very high traffic, wich are crucial, etc. I've read that you'd better use *BSD instead of linux, being the main flavors there FreeBSD and NetBSD :p
-
Can't say if you are referring to SMBs or a particular region. Never heard of Slackware being used as a Server OS though anyone can use it if wish. Redhat, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS along with SUSE, have seen in many companies.
BSD is mainly used by universities and my favorite Unix, people and companies are switching away from Unix to Linux though most of the companies as I have seen use Red Hat and the client requirements is RHCE then only one can appear for interview here.
-
So... It seems decided... We rebrand to:
Linux Distro Discussion Forum - LDDF for short.
Is gonna take a while before I get used to it ???
