i got this email :
This month will see the last month we have a dedicated VB.NET section. Entries have declined as more and more developers move to C#, or Javascript, or Swift, or any number of the latest and greatest languages and frameworks we wrestle with daily. The changes are just beginning...
plz dont remove anything...
thanks...

It's because so few people post VB.NET articles.

How about a little context:

Note that we're talking about the contest, not the site. We still have VB articles in the sections.
You may as well ask why we don't have a PHP category in the contest, or a Ruby category. Same answer.
cheers

Will VB.NET articles be considered part of the C# competition pool? If so I think that'd be fair to VBers.

Why don't just call the ".Net" contest?
That would be fair for all other authors without an own section

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

We don't have to be fair to VB'ers. They knew the job was dangerous when they took it.

This week's survey seems to require at least one check, how do I indicate "none of the above"?
|
|
|
|
|
OK, fair enough. This survey was spurred by a long, long conversation Matthew and I had about the meaning of "unexpected". I honestly didn't think a "none of the above" would count in this one but yes, an oversight.
Too late now I'm afraid.

Hi,
I had just published the below article and have some concerns to discuss on the Auto save feature.
After publishing the article, I was surprised by the article revision. Every auto save is creating a new revision which I did not see that happening previously.

Thanks,

Sorry I didn't realized that the issue was already posted.

I've toggled down the frequency of auto-saves.

better safe than sorry.

Well, I'm not against auto-save. But I'm not comfortable of having too many draft revisions. It will bring confusion for your next update and to rollback if something wrong happens.

No, not enough.
Turns out our Diff algorithm isn't working as well as we'd hoped. I'll switch to a different version.

Interesting one.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???
