*Gurus* divil Posted July 2, 2003 *Gurus* Posted July 2, 2003 I agree with Derek - that's my only positive thought towards the introduction of a game programming forum.

*Experts* Nerseus Posted July 2, 2003 *Experts* Posted July 2, 2003 Since no moderators would probably be watching a "Reporting" or "Crystal Reports" forum, why not make it a "Non-Moderated" forum and the game programming questions can get jammed in there. Two birds with one stone! :p Nerseus: Function: noun Etymology: Middle English, from Late Latin muchos humorous "I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over.

ThePentiumGuy Posted July 2, 2003 Author Posted July 2, 2003 what's a "reporting" program, and whats Crystal Reports do?

*Experts* mutant Posted July 2, 2003 *Experts* Posted July 2, 2003 Reporting program is an application that generates graphs, reports and things like that to visually show things from the data you pass in to it. Crystal reports is an example of a program like that.
karatekid Posted July 13, 2003 Posted July 13, 2003 Listen... I dont think that a game programming forum should sway you one way or the other. This is because u dont have to view it and <most likely> it wont sway your time at dotnetforums. On the other hand, there are many ways that others could benefit greatly from it. SO why would you care? maybe if there was a game programming forum you would be helped by it too. I know for myself, programming visual basic is a hobby and i just a kid so... if any of you were 11 year old children who love playing video games what do you think you'd want to find a forum about programming? And dont say to yourselves "oh children shouldnt be messing with programming anyway" because, if im gonna be a programmer when i grow up... I'll have started young enough to have mastered stuff like ado.net and directx at 16. I think u should find it in your heart to actual help the cause, because its a nice thing to do for others - why do u care if other people get assistance. PS please dont like hack my computer or do anything like that i DONT want to start anything - this is just my opinion....
*Gurus* divil Posted July 14, 2003 *Gurus* Posted July 14, 2003 I think we're done with this topic. We've already covered the reasons why it won't be implemented yet, and you know that if a significant number of that sort of question (that really _could_ live in a game programming forum) are asked, we're likely to create one.
