One of the points I was trying to make in my previous post was that I think the people that maintain this excellent forum should keep it excellent. One requirement in doing so is that they always ask themselves questions like:

"What is the objective of this site?"
"What is the target group for this site?"
"What is the scope of this site?"

There are probably many other questions one could ask.

Now, in my view, the suggested forum is NOT within the scope of this site. But let's remember that this is not my site, so it's not up to me to decide. I am just trying to help the administrators of VBWorld decide whether they want to include such a forum or not, and suggest some criteria to base their decision on.

I think Beacon has a good suggestion, namely setting up a new site and let it cooperate with VBWorld. That way this site can keep the name VBWorld, which clearly suggests Visual Basic, to me anyway.

The alternative is mixing everything up and end up with a site that deals with everything. VBWorld would be renamed www.vb_and_other_stuff_world.com or something like that.

My philosophy is to keep things separated and then let them interact with one another when required. Modularization principles ... put the right routines in the right modules. Let each routine do a single job and do it well.

Just my two cents...
