Wow the first page of the C++ forum is almost entirely people that won't RTFM. That Programm3r a**hole is the same bullshit every time he posts. This site is close to becoming worthless as far as the forums are concerned.

Just came from the C# forum.... there just are not very many people you can help here any longer since most of them are completely hopeless. It may be time to for me to formulate a CodeProject Exit Strategy

Did you see that Nelek guys reply to the double conversion post? *rolleyes*
Did you see the thread in past few weeks talking about the quality of posts in the forums. The OP started complaining about answers and a bunch of us quickly hyjacked it into complaining about questions. Anyway one of our regulars said something like "people not having the requisite knowledge to warrant launching Visual Studio." I should have captured it because his version was funnier.

Can I join the fishing club? This is one of the worst I've seen:

I have my application in MFC which is working fine on Windows Operating system. Now i want to run the same application on Macintosh. I want to know do i need to make changes in my code. If yes what all things needs to be changed. Or it can work perfectly alright without making any changes.
The title of the post is "Operating System Problem"

You're already in - you just didn't realize it
It's been a long time since Mike and I vented our frustrations here.
The lack of programming fundamentals and/or desire to learn fundamentals
with many new "programmers" is frustratingly appalling.
Great post though - thanks for sharing! 
Cheers,
Mark

So I stayed in for a change on Friday night. I went into the forums for a couple hours.... good grief what joke, it's even worse than during the weekdays.
One guy wants to convert .exe and .jpg files into binary so he can write them as text files and then convert them back.
Another guy wants to draw a transparent rectangle and a guy replied telling him to draw 4 lines.
Another guy developed a report to print labels and it works Great! Oh but sometimes you need to start in the middle of the page... clearly not a requirement you want to know "before" you start developing the solution... oh and his data comes from a database because that is significant to the printing problem.
And this last gem, the guy wants to run the same .exe on Windows, Linus and Solaris because "it could be better".
That's all the code and fix jackassary I can take for a Friday night, I doubt I will do this again anytime soon.

I can't believe how they butchered the site. I finally read Maunders post in the lounge and it explains a few things but overall... WOW OMG WTF. If I did work like this I would go back to herding cattle, seriously... I mean that... really.
Notice the message here I am replying to, I can't even add a new thread to your blog! I have only posted I think one reply since this mess started and I couldn't make a link in my reply. None of the commands work like "quote" etc. There are missing forums. They did this over the weekend I guess and I had like 10 email replies from Friday threads and on monday I couldn't use the email links to get to any of them.
I doubt you will get an email notification of this so you probably won't even see it.
WOW... I can't even think of what to say about it, just... WOW I would never have guessed this would happen... WOW.

AND look at the guys BIO. I remember one of the first threads I read here in CP was about the industry and how every software has bugs. Not about how you can't achieve ZERO but just how in general the industry is OK with buggy software while of course users are NOT.
If this guys BIO is not fiction it is a great example of how much trouble the industry is in and how the current buggy situation has no chance of improving any time soon.
Just a thought. Sorry to bother you. *peace* ![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)
