    Guys,i thought that it will be cool to have Apple team here on NBR,cos HP and Dell havve their teams here so why cant we have one?so,if you like this idea,lets ask Sam to create a "NBR Apple team"(or something like this :D ) thread and make some fancy sig logos :D


    EDIT: or,even better,lets have "Apple Club"? :D

    We already are - we don't have Dells.

    Some say, that he hates Windows with the passion of a thousand fiery suns, and that he thinks that Snow Leopard is an operating system. All we know is, hes called the Stig. :D

    As far as a name goes, I like the Apple Force idea, but something like Mac Squad could be ok as well.

    That sounds like more of a place, as opposed to a group of members who have united under the banner of Apple-dom.

    If you guys can get a name together :)D), I'm not against the idea!

    Of course, just clarifying that the team would be symbolic more than anything, so that there are no requirements to joining (just put an image or something in your sig) and there are no "cliques" involved! It would mainly be just a symbol that we're Mac users on NBR, just as there is an NBR Linux Team, NBR Compaq Team, NBR OC Team :).

    Good point ! My thoughts exactly

    Even better point.

    Too which I would like to add:
    First, there are already quite a few ways to show your apple lov...avatar, sig etc.
    Second, the fact that Dell has one should be reason alone not to create one.

    Third the dell group is somewhat selective and exclusive
    I am totally against such a "selective" group, as it would create a two-tier society in the forum, which would hamper open free speech.

    That said, if people decide to do this and it remains as Sam said non-selective and completely symbolic then so be it.

    And it doesn't sound like they are joking in the slightest? ....I think all they are saying is don't be a complete idiot, which is essentially what the forum rules say. So unless the forum rules make NBR extremely selective and exclusive, the Dell Team is neither selective nor exclusive, though I do presume you need to own a Dell or need to like Dell a lot to join (if you don't, then why bother?).

    Apples to Apples! :D

    Ok, I'm done now. And NBR Apple Team - it fits in with everyone else. NBR Dell Team, NBR X700 Overclocking Team, NBR Linux Team, NBR HP Team, NBR <insert unifying factor here> Team, etc. As Apple people, the goal is to stand out. I vote not having Team in the name at all. Squad or Force, please.
