I have an excellent idea.... Why not make a forum for newbies. That way, they can ask things like: "C or C++?" "DirectX or OpenGL?" "Borland or Visual C++?" etc...and it won''t piss off of veterens of this site. -Coleco

But if there were areas like that, most veterans wouldn't visit, which would make the forum useless since there would be nobody to answer the questions. Besides, it sounds more like you'd rather have a flamewar forum judging by your example topics.

Coleco, don''t worry - just post your questions. I for one will answer a newbies question if I can, those that get pissed off about newbies bugging them with stupid questions are just jerks. Just ask your question, I''m sure someone will answer. Having a forum for newbies will just seperate the community, and anyone who posts there and then in another forum will be seen as a "newbie" there. I wouldn''t be surprised in the least if it became a stereotype, the world is just like that. If the Vets think they''re so high and mighty - well, that''s their problem.

Awwwww... CRAP! I just happened to look at your rank after my reply. Were you speaking as a newbie or for the newbies? If you aren''t a newbie, then just ignore my references to you specifically in the post, if not, then nevermind.

Just covering my ass.... as usual.....

This has been brought up, and shot down, before.
The Rhino has spoken - end of discussion.

Hehehe, yeah, actually, I *DO* feel proud of my rank.
I''m no Martyr but I''m climbing.

I am a rookie (newbie) to DirectX but not programming.

Thanks for the post though.

Yeah, enjoy the ranks while they last.

As for me, I don''t really care, since I''m an Avatar now, and that''s enough for me.
