Anyone know of a site where we can at least setup a group and stay in touch - I think it's very inconsiderate of whoever is running the show to leave us in the dark like this. WE ARE FAMILY

I don't know how you do it with just two letters in the wrong place - are you psychic ?

I can't even read my own mind ... 
Today was lucky: I use three words to cover all vowels (plus Y) and the most common consonants - if I get no green or yellow on the first word, I try the second. (I play in "hard mode" which prevents me entering words without letters I've already discovered)
Today, I got a vowel and a consonant, so I looked for a word containing them plus another vowel with common consonants - and I was very lucky!
You understand I'm trying really hard to not give hints here?

And that was over-confidence after a good start. Abandoned letter finding and went straight into word guessing on the second try. My last guess was lucky as there were still several possibilities.

The main reason I prefer C++ over C is template** and constexpr. Recently they've added constexpr to the latest C standard, but I don't know how deep it goes - if it's as functional as it is in C++.
I have very little reason to use C++ otherwise. I'd actually prefer things if I wasn't dealing with classes with things like non-trivial constructors, destructors, and assignment operators.
Why?
Because RAII isn't very practical without exceptions, and if you're working with multiple different heaps at runtime.
I actually like C's simplicity, but dislike the preprocessor. I'd much prefer something typed, and with specializations and recursion.
** They'd have to allow template function specializations, or allow static functions in template structures in order to be particularly useful though. Not sure which route they'd take.

Interesting, but not for the reason you think. I just checked the moderation queue and three messages there were latched onto your post.

I found CodeProject.com after evaluating several other similar sites. You guys are a good crowd.
As for these other sites, what's out there? I suppose we have Reddit, StackOverflow, GitHub, and several others, but they don't compare. Hypothetically, if CP never came to be, where would you be?

I went to GitHub first because I had a lot of code to publish. But it wasn't until I wrote articles here that my software started being viewed and downloaded, either here or on GitHub, far more often. Having a place to publish articles also encouraged me to fill in a lot of documentation gaps that needed filling in. Reddit, and especially StackOverflow, are good for getting answers to very focused technical questions, but they don't come close to the breadth of coverage that you sometimes find in articles here, and their culture is sometimes rather snotty.

I've been with CP for over 20 years, was "Old Timer" in my first iteration.
Before that I had been away from programming for many years and I used CP to catch up. I tried but I had lost too much and couldn't compete with the younguns coming out of school. But I still enjoy programming and probably die at the keyboard.

None of the current places, so probably nowhere.
It was a recent college graduate I was working with twenty years ago who introduced me to CP at that time.
Back in the early 90s I was a member of a computer group which had a BBS...

20+ years ago I joined CP. I don't recall my reasoning, but since I retired 5 years ago, I have been visiting CP more often. Nothing compares in depth and breadth. Excellent site for my needs. Casual and professional mixed just right.

Probably nowhere. A colleague of mine from work back in the early 2000s told me about the site when I was looking for a C++ ADO DB library. I searched CP and found an article that was nearly exactly what I was looking for. I've been a member ever since.

Was learning C# in 2004, and was looking out for help on the Internet. Found CP and it had answers to our questions, and joined.
On a side note, am getting a hunch that some big player (MS, Google, ... ?) will be the new owner/custodian of CP, and that it will continue as earlier, or with some modifications. (Probably MS, because this is a predominantly C# site).

All I'm gonna say is this, when comparing requests for a web server in 3 languages...
- Zig 118K requests per second
- Rust 113K requests per second
- Go 18K requests per second
(Just for reference even JavaScript can do 15k per second... cough cough Go)
