I have no idea why these are in the same forum. There are obviously seperate issues.

Threads like "Why new Doom is better than old Doom" and "what's the best way to serialize to xml a bunch of objects?" just don't have the same audience (and maturity level).

It's been covered before but people want the games as a seperate forum. I want programming as a seperate forum. I think more people would ask questions and answer programming questions if there was a seperate forum. :thumbsup:

Thanks to Beau we now have an online petition going... do the right thing people and sign it!

Thanks guys

Instead of splitting "programming" off into a different forum, how about splitting "games" off? Just a thought.
 
I'll sign that when we get a petition up to get "SFF, Notebooks, Pre-Built/Barebones PCs" broken up into three sections.

I mean, that's just crazy - what *exactly* do SFF PCs, notebooks, and pre-built PCs have in common? You regularly get posts in that forum asking about a Sony Vaio laptop next to a thread asking for advice on building a Shuttle XPC next to a thread asking about the value of the latest Alienware systems.

Utterly bizarre.

(Actually, MOST of the sections could really do with a re-evaluation. Their goofy grouping has made the bulk of the AT forums useless - about the only thing worth spending time in on the AT forums is ATOT, "Hot Deals", and "For Sale/Trade" as a result)

That whole category doesn't get as much action as either Programming or games. Not to mention a lot of that forum can overlap with GH. I support the motion to separate them.
