I am more inclined to vote "No". Yet, I see the "Yes" votes lagging behind behind the "No" votes with just 25% of the votes. This is in no way a reflection of the state of CodeGuru but just a vote to help the losing side!!!

Philip Nicoletti (he comes around once in a while though)

I just saw him a second ago !

I miss galathea and rxbagain. galathea's posts were always
an education. But I see JohnCZ is still cranking!!!
Paul ? Paul ?

I used to whine about the ads whenever I didn't start up
the proxomitron. I don't even notice them right now. Seems
the only strategy advertisers use to make people notice
their ads is to make them more intrusive. Sorry, not
interested in DB2.
I got tired of the silly question titles "Doubt about..."
and "HELP" and the people who ask the questions can't even
explain what help they need and most of the responses to
the question are simply asking for more info ! Makes going
through the forums tedious and "Crappy"
Well, actually, it only became crappy after Mick left. He
put the sunshine in CG!

From Managing Director Marketing Deputy:

Well, actually, it only became crappy after Mick left. He
put the sunshine in CG!

Seriously, can you even understand what that old fogey is saying half the time? He talks in rocket-science + hieroglyphics riddles + arcane Machine Language + Who-Knows-What-Language-and-speech all the time! Get a life, MiCk!

See you,
Xeon.

everyone can learn something from the Goobles...no ads...more users...of course, different prey, different traps, different way, same point...

and the rating system (was the only moderator to say f no to that).

mid fing to that too...short term -> put an option, to use or not to use...long term -> good discussion = good rate...not star the thread and green blob the user...blob the thread and(if many want) star the user...

hokay...it's time to change the bongo water...

From Ree:

I thought it's Xeon? I mean, both the human and the processor. Without Xeon, where would CodeGuru be? Probably still running on 66Hz Pentium I processors on 1 single server with Windows 1.0 and 64KB of EDO-RAM.

Darn!
Xeon.

I guess I stopped posting here as well. The ads are really a nightmare. Try using code guru in China with a 10 base T conection and, no joke, 0.4 Kbs.
I guess for me thinks were just not a fun once Xeon, Mick and Galatheae left. I didn't know Andreas had left as well. I think that there is no question that the quality of the discussions has degraded. There are some exceptions in the non-visual C++ forum.

**souldog** · October 30th, 2006, 12:58 PM

And yes Mick, seems like Code Guru has gone to the crapper.

I look around and I don't see people here. What is up with that? Do you think it has gone downhill?

Hi Mick, you are alive? Many people here (downhill or uphill) thought you are dead since about one year.

News:

a post, yours or not, cannot be rated twice;
a post, yours or not, if is from Chit Chat forum cannot be rated at all.

From Ovidi Kuku(the bird):

Hi Mick, you are alive? Many people here (downhill or uphill) thought you are dead since about one year.

He's semi-dead, actually. Comes to life and post once in a while, but when his inner clockwork winds down and loses strength, he goes to sleep until some witch doctor dig him up and wind up his clockwork again and let him post in CodeGuru.

News:
* a post, yours or not, cannot be rated twice;
* a post, yours or not, if is from Chit Chat forum cannot be rated at all.

Let's all boycott CodeGuru and march on to CodeProject! Our new future is there!
(CodeProject is even regularly giving free cool t-shirts and mugs away because they cherish their members!)

Good day,
Xeon.

Play some marching music DJ.

Really?
Remember when Mick "retired" he had one of the best reputation place and a signature including something like "please, please, don't forget to rate my post!" .
Come on, let's be honest!

I agree, Codeproject is not that good when it comes to forum.
