My feelings somewhat echo the fears of M. Krass and Jon Lawton. I think that this forum, in its current state, is flawed in a sense that there are so many unique and qualified thinkers on this board who won’t get a chance to answer a given question. If you think that having an “additional discussion” on a topic is sufficient compensation to those who aren’t on the list of moderators, you’re gravely mistaken (I fear). I don’t think that having a separate thread in which people can give their legitimate spin on a rule, or a different suggestion for a question in the Q/A Forum would be sufficiently advertised (for lack of a better word) to either the person asking the original question or by other viewers. Although, I must admit that there’s a high possibility that the same question asking in the Q/A Forum will be asked 10-15 times in either the General or a Technical Forum (which is one of my pet peeves). I think that the idea of having a forum where questions are asked and legitimate answers are given quickly is great. I just think that more people ought to be allowed to voice their suggestions in these threads. Maybe we could allow everyone to answer the questions and then we (by we I mean Brandon
) police these threads more vigilantly and started preventing certain people from answering if they proved themselves incapable of that responsibility. Posting in that forum ought to be a privilege, not a right, but not necessarily limited to the people who currently have that responsibility. In the end I’ll yield to CD. After all, it’s not like it’s my website.

I didn't mean to bash on your creation
Have a safe trip back to CA. See you Saturday bright and early.
Cory:
You’re a little more generous with your figures than I would be. I don’t think that 50% or more of the posters on these forums could give a concise and legitimate answer to any given question related to a game or robot design/construction. There are quite a few screw ups roaming these boards.
