A New Media Center Community, Remotely Cool
Posted by Jeremy Charette in "SITES & RESOURCES" @ 10:00 AM
"Welcome to RemotelyCool, a new community for Windows Media Center Edition enthusiasts and developers! I developed this site because I recently built my first MCE machine, and became frustrated with the frequent errors and extremely slow load times in some of the more well-known forums. I also found the number of forums and categories at some of these sites to be overwhelming and needlessly segregated, making it difficult for users to know where to post questions or items of interest. It furthermore complicated things by forcing users to check for new posts in upwards of 20 seperate categories, which, when coupled with the site sluggishness, became unbearable for me. Finally, some functions at a more popular site do not work in Firefox browsers - like the search feature - and even when it does work there are ongoing complaints about it's functionaility. (I personally got script errors all the time.) So I hope this can be a place where those who love MCE can begin communicating on a more organized and convenient level."
With the number of new Media Center Edition users in the past year or two, it's not surprising to see new community sites popping up. If you're an MCE fan, or just a new user looking for an answer to a problem you're having, this looks like a good place to chat with those with similar interests.
