I plan to delete threads and messages in this forum which I consider not relevant to the 'Programming for Newbies' topic. If there are any posts you wish to keep, please grab them soon.
Cheers

Good idea...it's getting pretty messy with both more advanced topics as well as things that don't pertain to "programming basics" at all

Whoops...I guess I just added one for you to delete

[Thomas Jentzsch]

I don't think deleting threads is good at all. IMO it is against the whole public forum idea.

But I agree that some threads don't belong into this forum, so if you want to get rid of those threads, you should move them to other forums where they fit in better.

I think this is a great idea. Keeping the newbie forum for the newbies

I agree. Unless it is vulgor language or complete spam, I think it should stay in some section.

This place could use a little cleaning. But yeah, don't axe them, just move the non-beginner stuff over to the regular programming forum and anything else to General Chat or something.

I came in a month ago, trying to look at some of the lessons and had a hard time tracking them all down. I don't suppose each lesson could remain sticky at the top in the order they are numbered, for convenience?

There is a table of contents at the top of the forum

Oh, they made my Sorted Table of Contents sticky along with Atari Programming Workshop Chapter links? That's silly, we don't need two of 'em! I'm more than happy to make flavoredthunder's the One, as long as he keeps it up to date, though I'd suggest he change the title to "Table of Contents" or something similar, because I think that's more clear to someone loading the page for the first time, that's its the *internal* chapter links, not links to outside.

Sure, I'll keep it up to date. I have no problem taking on that task.

Hey! That avatar is a power-glove. Did you know I worked with the very first prototype of that device, and wrote the very first game to use it?

Wow!

[flavoredthunder]

Hey Andrew,
Wow, that is very cool. I am doing research on the power glove for a book that I am writing. I'd be very interested in interviewing you about it.
Later,
Mark
