I fully accept that the whole site needs to be looked at as to what should and should not be included. There are problems here though namely that there are no new code posts or investigative topics by members who are trying to get their heads around new techniques.. DBF only really seems to spark into life these days when there is a comp.
^ I write the above knowing damn well that I disappeared off the map for the best part of a year and no longer seem to have much time or inclination to code.
A question for you - Is it the case that we are missing out on posts because the categories no longer cater for the work that the active members are doing, or would introducing more forums just result in some more dead forums?
Before the forum was pruned last time, we pretty much had a forum for every language that our members suggested, including Javascript but this wasn't really used.. I might be open to including something non-specific to target browser stuff so that people can post HTML5, Flash, TinyC5 etc, but I would not consider adding it unless there was some way of guaranteeing it's support as it would just be another dead section.
If the site is no longer relevant though, I'd love to have your thoughts to improve it and make it busy again. More people are hitting the site than ever, plenty of people are saying hello, only a few are actually posting their projects so there must be a reason for that.
