New category and board structure proposal

[parad0x]

Why a tutorial board? You can as well have a [tutorial] tag and choose the section that fits to the topic. I.e. tutorial about python goes into python.

However, I would really like to distinguish between tutorials and papers.
A tutorial is usually a step-by-step guide, it shows the reader how to do something practically.
A paper is sharing general knowledge about a topic. So if you decide to add a tutorial board nevertheless, how about naming it tutorials and papers? (or just leave it away as proposed)

Other than that I like the proposal as is, I also like the suggestion about the malware board.

What about those tutorials that are not concerned with some programming language like Hacking by using BT or something like that?

That can go into general hacking.

Malware:
I just cant see what kind of topics would be posted in this board. Got any examples? I sure as hell wont help people remove malware, that's common knowledge and its common sense to not get malware in the first place. Nor will I write malware analysis for people. News and protection, perhaps but.. Idk. Awaiting response/feedback from others.

I will definitely write more stuff about malware.
Especially understanding malware infection types, malware analysis, malware concept codes and because it was requested several times: polymorphism, metamorphism.
I don't know if others will contribute to this section too, though.

Examples: (these also fit into the programming section by now, but I am going to write more general papers too)

ande, usually when I see something along the lines of a list, table of contents or some other type of geometric shape with content, any small inconsistency (so like capitalization on all the words of header 1, but capitalization of just the first word on header 2) creates a feeling of discomfort and annoyance. It's never directed at the writer, it's always directed at the object itself. An inconsistent list literally pisses me off because of the OCD.  And that's why I mentioned nose-bleeds 

My take on the structure:


Green - Open
Orange - Minimum number of posts (10-15)
Red - Minimum number of posts (50+)

[TUTORIAL] / [WHITE-PAPER] tags mandatory if you're posting a tut/paper. They must be posted in the sub-board that is specific to the topic.
[CODED] tag for any tool/snippet that used to belong in the "Code Library" section. They must be posted in the sub-board that matches the used language.
[REVIEW] / [PREVIEW] tags should be used for any article/paper written by a member in which he reviews or gives a preview of a particular tool, device, service, etc. They must be posted in the sub-board that fits topics with the subject of the review/preview.

And I also, out of respect for the biggest Sci-Fi writer that ever existed, Isaac Asimov, insist on keeping the name of the board as "Encyclopedia Galactica" instead of "Other/General Knowledge".

How about adding an Overclocking child board under Hardware.

[Mordred]

Actually that's a good point. I'm really into OCing but I completely forgot about that. I'll update my post.

I liked what Mordred proposed.

Please keep it creative ARTS thank you

Any feedback from the admins/mods on the structure I proposed?

I am a little busy at the moment, I will try to get back to you today or tomorrow.

I'd ask to keep a central place for the tutorials. It makes easier to find them.
There are tuts on topics other than my usual interest and if the title intrigues me I do take a look. It's possible because (most) tuts currently are accessible from one place. A lot of 'em would have been missed otherwise.
