A Suggestion To Astahost Admins -- Separate Section For Smartphones-Related Discussion

With the recent trend shifting vigorously towards smartphones, many websites have found success with providing useful information about these toys. The best known of these would be the XDA community. Because there are two many smartphones out there, and because there are different levels of smartphone users, people talk alot about these toys. There are tutorials, how-tos, guides, questions, answers and all sorts of useful (and useless) stuff.But the important point is that the number of people looking for information related to smartphones is increasing and it is happening quickly. Unfortunately, the smartphone category is not so well represented here at Xisto. As a member of the community, and a smartphone enthusiast, I feel that this category should be more prominent and it should receive more attention.So I propse to the admins that a separate section should be created for smartphone-related discussion. This main section can then be divided into sub-sections on the basis of smartphone platforms (e.g. android, iOS, Blackberry, Windows phone etc). And then each section can have its own software and hardware related discussions.I have included a poll with the post, so please let the admins know what you think about the subject...

Forum isn't that lively so i don't really see the point on creating another Forum for smart devices...

Everybody can have their opinion, but the point I was making wasn't about creating another "FORUM" for smartphones. I suggested just to create a prominent section for this category. Let me elaborate this. When you go the main page of Xisto forums (by clicking the link "Xisto: Open Discussion & Free Web Hosting"), you see different categories and sections. In the "Computers & Tech" category, there are the following sections:

How-To's and Tutorials

What's New?

Databases

Operating Systems

Hardware Workshop

Networking

Designing

Programming

etc etc....

 

What I want is a section "Smartphones" (or anything the admins feel right) to be included in the list. The goal is to give the field the exposure and prominence it deserves. And my guess is that it will attract lots of contributors from the forums.

thinking about it I agree with you... I have made some posts on smartphone related topics and I wasn't too sure which category to put them on... so I usually reside to iOS Operating System section because I'm using an iPhone 4
