Poll: Should programming and games be in separate forums?

[notfred]

See poll.

 

[BlueWeasel]

YES!

 

[Schadenfroh]

we could easily turn this into a programming forum by doing the following:

create a forum called: "WoW, HL2 rulz, and OMG doom3 is dark and sucks" forum

 

[ty1er]

yes, seperate forums would be a good idea.

 

[SelArom]

who's the jerk that voted no?!:|

haha jk but they should be in separate forums!! tired of scanning through halo and cs and whatever the hell is the latest obsession to find my posts

 

[ArmchairAthlete]

From a long time gamer and starting programmer, YES!

 

[Mojoed]

Absolutely!

 

[nageov3t]

at least split programming off into its own category so CS majors can ask for help with their homework

 

[blazer78]

yes

 

[AFB]

This is why have subforums

 

[TSDible]

I would say applications/software/programming

and a separate forum for gaming software.

Ive given up hope that they will ever even respond to this issue. Its been around a while and to my knowledge they haven't even as much as acknowledged it. Sad, really. It's a good idea.

It is being considered, there have been a few hints.

And I wish the people that voted no would have the guts to post and say why. As far as we can tell they're just doing it to be contrary, since it's anonymous.

Sounds reasonable to me.

I don't care. I didn't vote "no", again cuz I don't care. I don't mind scrolling through everything. If Anand does split into two, fine I don't care. I'll just go to both. I say this coz maybe whoever voted "no' feels the same. I've seen this pop up numerous times here, for some reason I can't seem to deveolpe a strong preference [shrug].

 

[dighn]

i voted unsure/other because i really don't care.

 

[kmmatney]

Yes

[Weeeman]

yes

 

[pennylane]

I think there was a poll on this before. But whatever. It really needs to happen. Voted yes.

 

[naruto1988]

that would be a good idea. i don't know much about programming and so don't like sifting through it. a separate gaming section would save me and other people time =D

yeah, I asked about it probably 2 years ago or more in "Forum Issues", and the same thing happened: everyone thought it was a great idea, and nothing happened.

 

[mugs]

It's obvious that pretty much the only people who DON'T think it's a good idea are the ones who make the decision, and they're not going to tell us why. But I guess it can't hurt to remind them once in a while.

 

[BW86]

Yes

 

[AmigaMan]

I've always wanted to say this....

WRONG FORUM NOOOB!!!!

Except you're not a noob, and I really don't care which forum this is in, and I agree. So just ignore me...
