> Mac: I think the main newbie friendly forum should be on the link, not the new one.
relsoft: Tough call. They link to each other, so there is no big problem either way.
I like to enter the forum via what you call "The new one", namely the index of subforums. It gives a quick look to see if anyone has posted any new FAQs, Programs they are proud of, etc.
My feeling is that a true newbie, if he has found QBasicNews.com, will be satisfied with results in the newbie forum found there. So really it is a link for more senior programmers to look into when nothing else is happening here.
Other true newbies who randomly enter "
www.qbasic.com" will, of course, wind up at The QBasic Forum, which is the only reason we all haven't abandoned that forum long ago. So we don't need a link to that forum anywhere else.
IMHO
> Telling random people to @£$£ off is pretty much the norm these days
adosorken, LOL! I am even unliked by people I never heard of. Got to buy a better brand of deodorant!
Well, it may be norm, but I am not. Sorry! But I will say that as much as I am disgusted by the antics of some youth, I pray they keep their minds free of the fanatic religious-right semi-Nazi brainwashing produced by the hate radio stations broadcasting in the USA and thereby save the world.
------- Well, I think this thread should die now. ----------
I am going to unsubscribe. Feel free to beat the dead horse if you want, but I suggest helping newbies instead.
Peace!
