    Lightbulb Open an MFC forum!

    Split the forum to two: (Standard) C and C++ and MFC (or, something like MFC/VCL/ETC ).
    They are completely different and, IMO, deserve different forums (fora?).

    Opinions?

    im not sure...although this is a good C++ board, its not overly busy. I think keepinig it as 1 forums would leave it at a good healthy level.

    I think it should be kept as one forum, there are a lot of threads that
    - Are relevant to both MFC and non-MFC code
    - Talk about the difference between MFC and non-MFC
    - Are asked by people who don't know what MFC is

    If this forum was busier, yes. But if we split this now then
    a) many people won't realize it
    b) post counts in the seperate forums would be very low.

    And it's not something completly different.



    Finally, I don't think the current admins give a damn.

    The current admins give a damn -- if a split would help people get answers more quickly, we'll do it.

    But a split might also hurt, by making navigation more difficult.

    Ok, that's nice to know. Sorry if I offendded you.

    Still I don't think it's necessary. It would make searching for questions to answer harder for me.

    I dont think MFC is that popular anyway - it will drive less users than a separate forum for JSP!

    MFC is annoyingly over-popular.
