Are you guys (active) members of other developer.com forums?
I checked out CG and WebDeveloper and apparently I created accounts years ago and forgot about them...
I am getting bored at work... I think I may have to cheat on VBF with other forums.

I am getting bored at work... I think I may have to cheat on VBF with other forums.
I've posted a bit on CG but not for a while. I used to post on a few other less busy VB forums too but I ended up cutting down my forum participation. I now post here and a couple of other forums that are less busy where I moderate, one VB and one C#, as well as on SO.
I'm not a member but I've looked in on some of them from time to time. Good for comic relief. They seem to get a more... desperate crowd. Talk about the one-eyed man being king!
Looking and posting in other forums feels like I am somewhere where I am not supposed to be... interesting as that my sound...
I feel like they are all saying "Get out of here. GO BACK TO VBF!"
More of an observation than a criticism because we all do it to a degree but that's a funny reaction. If someone who usually posts at another forum, do you react like that to them? Do you even know that they "came from" another forum? I guess it's just an indication of how comfortable you feel here.Quote:

Going to another forum where the forums, color, and users are all different is weird. The best way to relate it to a real-world scenario is like walking through a neighborhood in which you are not familiar. I am very familiar with Orange County; when I am driving through Los Angeles I have the feeling that everyone knows I am not from here, even though I really do not stick out.Quote:

They had that sidebar and here didn't which is why I took a liking to here over CG. If I had joined today I might have been participating equally in both forums.
I post in other forums but go by the name jmcilhinney. I just find people take me more seriously that way.

I only post here now for dev stuff. I drastically cut down my multi-forum posting and shifted that saved time to posting on automotive forums lol. I used to be on a dozen or so dev forum sites before
I submitted a large article to CG on the repository pattern....It has since disappeared.
Maybe they have to approve it or something, unless you made a normal thread for it.Quote:
