I know what you mean rfo, but the forums have to be split really or like people have said the general forum just gets crammed full of stuff. It's useful really, and people who know the answers or have an interest will generally browse the specialist forums they are interested in. Personally I'm usually in Chit Chat but after that I check C++ and Games & Graphics, then sometimes the Net forums and General.

I just posted a question in the Assembler forum yesterday, and I'm not really expecting anybody to reply because it's a bit of a strange question. If you want more people to see your message, don't post the message in more than one forum, just post links to your main thread in the correct forum and ask people to take a look.
