Gforum, Reborn

In case you didn't notice, Gforum has been nuked by Gempakstarz's site admins. In other words, no more Gforum. The reason behind this is probably because Facebook has took over most of the regular contributors in Gforum, leaving it deserted most of the time.

And so the remains of the forum, seeking refuge in the form of a Facebook group and also an IRC channel.

Fret no more, as a user called Volvagia356 decides to host a proper forum for us, marking the birth of Gforum Mark 2. Many thanks to him. Currently the forum isn't really organized yet, and we are in the process of rebuilding the community as well as setting up the rules.

Note: Volvagia356 never did join the original Gforum; we get to know him mainly through the IRC channel.

And as of the birth of Gforum Mark 2 (I'll refer this as /mkii/ from here), we are no longer associated with Gempakstarz. And currently Techrangers do not exist in /mkii/. We'll see about that in the future.

Techranger: The Testimonial

Congrats and welcome to kurniasan for becoming one of us Techrangers at /g/. Now we have 4 of us with different sets of tech knowledge & skills to be some sort of help-desk guys for GForummers generally. With the inclusion of kurniasan , we are close to become a standard rangers team (since it usually needs around 5 people to make it complete LOL). Anyways now it's my turn to randomly give some sorta 'testimonial' for all 4 Techrangers so far, including myself.

1. sharif-strike: The one who are acting as the head of all Techrangers (although all of use share the same green tag color LOL). He may not always around at /g/ (since he is a busy student) but he is quite responsible in performing his jobs there. Skills: most notably has access to core hardware like CPUs, graphic cards, HDDs & mobos as well as some 'modern' overclocking.

2. revolutionworks: Have a long time reputation of being the troubleshooting guy for GForummer's PC problems for many years already. Good at looking for solutions for PC problems on the web. Very reliable when it comes to sfinding solutions for strange/weird problems. Skills: More to delicate, detailed technical stuff as well as programming.

3. kurniasan: The latest member of Techrangers. In earlier days he doesn't look like to have interest in PC stuff but then it turns out that he could be of some help most of the time. Skills: A software guy, I must say. Have lotsa experience in quite a number of software that he is able to notice problems that might resulted from conflicting installed software.

4. halfey: yeah, that's me. I joined the Techrangers after I see the announcement that Techranger are having staff shortage as I believe I could be of some help too. The only Techranger with no professional background in ICT (either study or work). It's all from my experience and driven by my enthusiasm towards tech stuff. Skills: Most likely to possess certain amount of knowledge in networking & connectivity, particularly internet , peripheral interface as well as web 2.0. A very enthusiastic guy when it comes to tech toys. Have experiences in PC-modding and 'classic' overclocking.

Now, d'you have any problems in PC or have some curiosities in PC stuff that you'd want an answer for? Logon to our hive at /g/ and don't hesitate to seek help from us there. I'm sure at least one of us would be able to give you what you need.

First Post, and a Warm Welcome.

Ahoy there! Starting from today the Techrangers of /gforum/ will have their own official blog. You can expect those techy-geeky rants of ours in this very blog.

So yeah, nothing much for now, but we'll have something up soon. Stay tuned for more updates.

Bon voyage, mon ami!
