Description: A Free, Friendly Computer Help and Support Forum.

After many years of being both an admin and moderator on various tech sites, I thought it was about time I started my own site from scratch. I do realise that there's an awful lot of hard work involved in running your own forum, but it's something I've been wanting to do for quite sometime.

I specialise in malware, spyware and virus removal, though I have a pretty good grasp of other subjects too, such as Windows and Hardware and I really do enjoy helping folks to get their systems running properly.

If you have a computer problem, then I promise I will do everything I can to solve it for you.

I'd like to invite everyone to come on over to HCZ and take a look. If you like what you see, then please register. If not, then thankyou for taking the time to look.

Regards Howard.

The forums have just passed the 1,000 posts mark and that has come in just over a week, which I don't think is too bad.

I'd like to thank everybody, staff and members, who have helped to make this happen.

Well I have experience with computers so I was wondering if I could assist you.

Send me like a question or test if you want to test me

by **Howard** 2010-03-16, 21:15

What area or areas of computers do you know about?

In any case, I would be more than happy to have you on board, if you wish to join my forums. The more members we have that offer computer help the better as far as I'm concerned.

by **dballerp** 2010-03-16, 21:21

I have experience using CSS and html.

I'm currently learning about Java and i've had one month of experience with it now. I am good with malware, but viruses is something I need to learn. I would appreciate you helping me, but I don't expect you to exactly do that.

I have started a Facebook group for the forums. Basically it let's folks know that we exist and also, if people are having computer problems, it let's them know we are here to help.

I wouldn't have said they were high, but I definitely don't think they are too bad given the fact the site has only been open to the public for just over 3 weeks.

Thanks mate.

HCZ has now passed the 4,000 post mark. I have also installed a gallery for members to upload their pictures/photos and each member has 100MB of disk space available.

if only it had better graphics;)

What do you have in mind mate, given that it is a tech forum?

A lot of tech forums just use a default skin etc.

I'd be interested to hear any ideas you might have.

by **Joel** 2010-04-22, 15:35

for a start, remove the "The H.C.Z. Mission Statement".

by **Howard** 2010-04-22, 15:38

That's only there for folks that aren't logged in mate.

by **Joel** 2010-04-22, 15:46

how about a new skin? how long have you been using the current one?

by **Howard** 2010-04-22, 15:48

The skin has been there since the forums opened, so just over 5 weeks mate.
