Is there a way to contact all the mods together, for a response from whoever sees it first, or should I just contact one at random? I was going to ask which forum to put a question about computer upgrades, as I vaguely remember a message a while ago to put computer questions in a specific forum. Of course I can’t remember which. :smack: I went onto the “view forum leaders” page which lets you e-mail mods individually, but I was wondering if there was an easier way to ask general questions that don’t need a ATMB post and aren’t aimed at a particular mod.

Not a general send-it-to-all-the-mods address. We’ve considered getting one but didn’t want to extend an invitation to being spammed, either.

We’ll discuss it and get back to you.

A computer question is usually best-suited to GQ, wherein lies a sticky thread entitled: “Have a computer question? Read this first”. Unless it’s a “What laptop should I buy?” sort of question, which obviously belongs in IMHO - IMHO.

Thanks, that’s probably what I was thinking of. I very, very rarely look in GQ so I didn’t see the sticky. My questions more about upgrading though so i’ll probably put it in IMHO later.
