A sheriff came the other day to serve a Psychic who has an office down the street with papers that she was being evicted. She was irate, and I said, what, you couldn't see this coming, I don't need your services.
A man goes to a clairvoyant's, he rings the bell on the door and from the inside comes a voice asking "Who's there?"…

Anthony,
To be serious for one second, I believe all your posts are to the hardware forum (which is perfectly correct for those sorts of enquiries). However, if you're looking for a busier forum at this site, the general discussion forum is more active. If you're looking for alternative forums there's Digital Detective and Computer Forensics World (there may be many more, those are just two I'm aware of myself).
Cheers,
Jamie
Thanks, Jamie.
Much appreciated.
Cheers,
Is there perhaps a more active forum for forensics with more users?
With any such resource, you get out of it what you put into it…
I can't say I agree. Most of the eDiscovery forums that are very active have plenty of people willing to help people of all sorts including helping those who have not contributed much for any number of valid reasons. Your message is perhaps more a reflection of your own expectations?
I would hope to have a similar experience in the forensics forums… Surely, I will contribute when possible as well.
But, thanks for the reply.
Cheers,
I do think the question is interesting
mainly because computerforensicsworld forum has ~1753 topics currently in its general forum.
digital detectives was down for maintenance
and forensic focus' general has 33000 posts
I'd say forensic focus was quite active in comparison, and the knowledge and discussion that comes out of here is fantastic.
If you are looking for QUANTITY then yes, join another forum, stick to Forensicfocus for QUALITY. Also I believe 80% of Forensicfocus members are members of the other forensics forums so there is no escaping up D

I'm not familiar with eDiscovery forums, could you provide links please?
Are our replies discouraging? adiamond ask a computer/mobile phone forensic, cell site or even an eDiscovery related question on this forum and on a few other digital forensic related forum. Then judge the forums based on the time taken to reply and the quality of replies etc.
Best of luck.
I find the flow of questions about right. Enough to see something new, and not too many to be swamped.
Some relevant to ones interests/knowledge, others of general interest, and others of no relevance.
There are often a broad range of answers - leading to good discussion.
Keep up the good work Jamie.

No, the replies are not particularly discouraging. The several times I've posted here, (under different accounts in the past) however, I've been met with long waiting times for input on my posts.
Of course, that could just be down to luck/chance, so again, not discouraging, but, if that is the way it is, then I wanted to know if there are any known more active forums. Strangely, it seems some people here were mildly offended by the question, though, which strikes me as rather quaint.
Here is a question I posed recently but to which I've received no input. http//www.forensicfocus.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=10181/
It could be a bad question, perhaps, and I admit that I'm not immune to asking poor questions every now and again.

I see. Well, if this is a higher quality type of forum perhaps the average contributor is more interested in more sophisticated types of questions for input. I've come across such forums in the past.
