    I just have to say something...

    The "Other Basic" forum is severly underused. Why can't we switch it with a hardware forum or something?

    Or better yet change the VB Square Developer's Code Book Beta Testers into such a forum, it's locked and therefore has no traffic.

    Add something that I will be able to ask some DOS/Batch questions in peace because Each time I do it in general Turtle have to reply and told me that I am in the wrong forum but I do not see anywhere else to post it. Thx you

    Well I'm getting kinda peeved at the recent influx of questions, many not by you, that have a subject like "Not VB Related" and yet they put it in the post-count-upping General VB.

    And I do agree, a batch file coding forum would be cool.

    or make some type of "General Mayhem" forum, that deals with technical questions in no particular category, but that won't be taken into the gutter by chitchat.

    A hardware forum. That sounds like a good idea. Im glad i thought of it. The Basic forum should go though. It's like would you have a forum based on the discussion of COBOL? I hope not.

    Surley general VB can solve most of the questions that are in general basic...It seems as though most of the posts in there now are not real questions, but just people posting stuff there for the mere fact that it is there.
