I know we have this thread, but now that the forum upgrade & re-org is complete, I feel the need to complain seperately.

Why do we still have to sort through millions of Halo & WOW threads just to get some assitance in programming? Surely during this re-org, it would have made sense to split them...

What do programming and Appz/Games have in common? Absolutely nothing.
Social got a new category - Love & Rlps...

Why not programming????????

i think splitting the existing threads will be lots of work:

In addition to the upgraded forum software, we are working on rolling out quite a number of new forums this weekend. Hopefully this will encourage focused, on topic discussions in areas currently lost to the noise.

We will also be breaking up software (among others) in to multiple forums. This will mean moving current threads to the right forum as they are active. We understand that this may cause some difficulty, but the end result should really benefit everyone. We ask that you please be patient with the admins, mods, and other posters as we try to sort everything out.

The biggest help you as members can offer us is to try to make sure new topics are started in the right place. In addition, before going off to complain to the mods about your favorite thread being deleted, please take a second to look for it in a place that would make sense.

Thanks very much for your patience and support!

New forums arent much work... I used to manage a forum myself...
you can create a blank empty forum in 5 mouse clicks.

Migrating the older threads can be a pain... but they havent migrated anything into the other blank areas... why start now?

Hopefully we will get a separate security forum in addition to splitting programming off from games.


With folks like Medea, John, and mechBgon, AT has a shot at becoming one of the major malware solution forums.
