I believe that M's previous post conveyed my thoughts and feelings on this topic as well.
The advent of this Q&A form has really diminished my already weak drive to participate on the ChiefDelphi Forums. Yes, it is true that there are a good deal of off-topic or uninformative posts being made, but please look at the attitude of the forum in general. This is what I was referring to when I said my CD-Posting drive was already weak.
Aside from the six-weeks, J. Random CD-Poster spends his or her time on these forums playing games such as "Word Association" and "FIRST Classifieds (Part N)." Social interaction is wonderful. However, there is comparatively a minute amount of "real" discussion going on here. It seems as if people only care about technical topics when they are scrambling to figure out how to make their robots work.
But I keep hoping that some real discussion will spark up, and that is why I read these forums on a regular basis. I did my best to answer whatever questions I came across that I felt qualified to speak about. I enjoy very much the opportunity to share my knowledge with others, and to have others share their knowledge with me. It is in this manner alone that we can better our understanding of these technical topics in an intelligent fashion!
I agree entirely with M's post, except for the last line. I see no good to come out of this new forum. I only see frustration and discontent from those of us who are already weary of this community.
So that makes four cents in total, so far. I am hoping M is wrong in saying we are in the minority on this topic. Who else is bothered by this?
