There are literally thousands of forums dedicated to the various aspects / languages involved.

I dont see how you can expect to cover anything meaningful in one thread?

Sorry.

If reason_for_thread != 'good idea' then
exit

There are just as many threads providing assistance in relation to the removal of Malware but this thread provides a service that helps others - one more may do no harm at all.

How about a dedicated Networking group?
Lots of people on here have problems with their broadband......:rotfl:

Joking apart. The Arms has a few sub forums, would it be too far beyond to do something similar in the tech forum? And maybe do a poll to see what the members think of the idea and what they would want..

Great idea Tom, that could be your baby, go for it mate! :beer:

How about a dedicated cluebat thread, where we can nominate members to be hit with...er...the cluebat?
Everyone who says "I've been using limewire and my computer seems really slow" etc... could have 2 hits
The ones who say "what security do I need" could have a big hit to the sticky

etc...

I only ask one condition....

I hope Martin's site is not vunerable to cross-site scripting......

If the site breaks, we will get the blame!

Marty, I am aware of the vast amount fora on the internet covering programming, however as MSE has a varied audience it would be an ideal place to start a general discussion thread and as you stated this is not the type of subject to arise at high frequency on MSE so following the thread would not really be an issue.

But surely someone who needed help with programming would do better to go to one of the many other forums (sorry, I refuse to use the word fora) dedicated to such pursuits?

And if it doesn't come up very frequently and you don't think it'll get much in the way of posts, why bother making it a sticky?

It seems a bit like this thread is a solution looking for a problem.

Just let it develop Marty lad, you never know it may be as successful as sliced bread.....

P.S I think the word you were looking for was "Problem Domain"
