I have no problems with forums sharing links and stuff but that is where the confusion starts. When people are refered to a cdma forum for something that will work on a gsm phone as its something that has nothing to do with gsm they then start looking around the forums here and see allot of sweet roms and stuff and then think they can use them on their gsm phone.

Somone really shoud post a sticky or something that this forum in CDMA only. I have seen 100's of posts of gsm guys thinking cdma roms will work on their phone. I have even seen many brick their phone and then complain about it.

I can see your point that theres a potential for confusion....but first...this isnt a CDMA exclusive forum....at least not that I knew. True...its MUCH more CDMA focused...but I dont think its a bad thing that more people used this site, and that more people check out XDA. We are all one community when it comes to applications, tweaks, and just discussing the phones. I cant tell you how many tweaks/apps/themes I am running that I found at XDA.

People just need to understand what they are doing, and READ the directions. Having said that, I see no problem with creating sub-forums for GSM devices, much as XDA has created sub-forums for CDMA devices.
