I think that PC-HQ is an Awesome idea and I would love to be involved with it as an admin/mod for hardware from 286 to P4 ( Hint...Hint ) or just as a member.
Please be sure to make a post or two in the general area when the site is up. _________________ I think I like fixing Boxes more than using them!

PCHQ I'm down for. I've been twiddling with computers since I was 5 (started with a Tandy 4000, moved onto an Atari 1040ST). I love computers . Anywho, the more we can deliver as far as the HQ goes, the better. We can definitely smash the XS, especially if we're offering more than just PS3 and Xbox360 on top of the old school Xbox.
Go get 'em hobbs, we're here to back ya up! _________________ "That which does not kill you, only makes you stronger."

thanks for the feedback guys..
Im trying to make our network one of the best in all time.
We have come so far and i myself have learnt alot of new tricks and tips for coding so its been a fantastic experience..
Ive now basically re-written nearly every section of the websites and its just a matter of deciding what we want.. We can add new sections and sites at the click of a button.

I cant wait for pc hq.com, I think it is a great idea. I started out using xbox scene, and luckinly i stumbled upon xbox-hq cuz xs sucked major ass. This site has been great, more than I ever could have expected and im sure pchq will be the shiznit also. Keep up the good work. _________________ "Pain has a face, allow me to show it to you."

I disagree, XBscene has a lot of good info...but they arenot as noobie-friendly as XB-HQ is! Most of the info on XBscene is geared for experianced moodders.
This is my HUMBLEopinion.

Well to each their own, however I was a noob (well more of a noob than I am now lol) at the time, and maybe i didnt give it a fair look, I take back my last statement and will give xs a fair shot _________________ "Pain has a face, allow me to show it to you."

Experienced or not.. X-S is a waste of bandwidth.. If only the Xbox Homebrew guys would see that..
Another thing.. Since X-S earn so much money from advertisers how come they dont give anything back to their members?? I heard from a reliable source they make well over 200k per year just from some advertising.. lol
Ive personally given away over 10k USD of prizes out of my own pocket let alone all the postage costs for guys i send utils to help.
This place rocks more then X-S with less posts.. lol And everything comes out of my own pocket. You go figure lee..
Everyones entitled to their opinion but believe me X-S is in it for the money. Thats my opionion.. You never see them help anyone and you never will.. They just screw people around with their shitty comments and even crappier website. If you knew how much it would cost to keep X-S running with all the bullshit posts then you would understand that what im saying is true.
XS is obviously making a killing and is driving around his ferrari.. lol
You can tell who puts in the real effort for its community anyway.
Every option asked for so far has been added to our sites.
X-S in my opinion is not userfriendly(noob), if you as an innocent question about something that you dont know of, they are going to poke fun at ya, and forahobby does have a point, what do you get back from X-S, besides a kick in the A$$ if you dont ask the right question.
Unless it has something to do with money they dont really do anything.
X-S has does have good info but, its starting to get out dated.
Thats my 2 cents. _________________

In my opinion, the only reason x-s is still around is because the devs of xbox software have not got tired of their treatment of noobs, and migrated over here. They see us as the noob community, and them as the elite "scene". If we could get the attention of the devs, and give them a great welcome here, I think they would much rather come here and help those who truly appreciate their work, and support it. instead of those that just tell them to RTFM, and such. I see it as we are the ones who love and support it, they are the ones who go mess around and get pregnant _________________

Hey Guys,
SLOW DOWN! All I said was that they have some good info, and are not Noobie-friendly! I NEVER SAID that they were better than XBOX-HQ! And I NEVER would!
I Love XB-HQ! I appreciate everything you guys do here, and contribute to the posts whenever I can. I even tried to become a VIP Member, but I didn't have the right payment method. I have never even made a post on XB-Scene, much-less looked at becoming a member there.
My appologies to forahobby if you thought I was putting down your site, tht was not my intention, I was just saying that XB-scene has some good info. (that is linked to by this site, by the way.)

Hobbs, your're kidding right? How much more can you give. You have dedicated yourdelf to making this the #1 site, and I think I speak for all members when I say that you have. The only thing you have left to give is your sanity.
Don't stress it Hobbs. You are a pioneer in the modding world and will be around long after everyone else bites the dust. _________________

YEAH!...What he said.
Like I said, I love this site. I have learned most of the XBox knoledge I have because of this site. (I even learned about XB-Scene from this site. ) This is the BEST online community I have ever seen, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it.

It's a damn shame that I have to run around these forum boards and get you loose cannons back on topic. But that's why I'm an admin.
So any updates to the newest site in the world of HQ?
I saw the link below from the main page and I was like "CRICKEY!"
Time to check up and see how it's all going. _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th
