Lol, I started to push for a computer/electronics subforum a couple months ago. I first asked the question in the general discussion subforum and was directed to the feedback dropbox.
There were already a few threads that had asked for one to be made, but none were successful. After reviving the idea, I and other techie junkies really pushed for this to be made! This subforum is the result of tpf members who directly rallied and pushed for it.
I frequent here a lot, and I knew other tpf members would also.
