I disagree.
It is vital that all VB users be quarantined in the VB forum upon first arriving. Once they are able to prove themselves free of disease, they may be allowed into other forums suited for their abilities, such as "ASP.NET", "SQL / ADO / ADO.NET" and "Subtle Bugs", until such a time as they have gained sufficient strength of body and mind to live in harmony with a wider populace. Splitting the VB forum would encourage premature travel, and doubtless expose the good citizens of CodeProject to many a dread lurgy. Also, the necessity of hastily burning infected bodies would soon pollute the site with the foul smoke of deceased VBers.
A wholly undesirably situation, i'm sure you'll agree.
To show that we are not without sympathy for those of the VB persuasion, i suggest an alternate plan: the construction of a wall between the VB forum and the C# one. With neither gates nor windows, nor flaws that might allow hands to find purchase. Solid, ten cubits high, and a full cubit thick, widening as it rises, and with barbed wire strung across the upper portions thereof. Such a noble construct would then relieve the wretched VBer of the tormented spirit that comes with accidental observation of one's betters. In lieu of verbal expressions of gratitude, a tax may be levied on those poor souls and the resulting revenue used to recoup the expense of construction, as well as that of a large plaque, wrought of bronze and richly engraved, honoring myself and making careful note of the date and time upon which this suggestion was freely gifted to the CodeProject community.

yes i agree but

1) they are already doing it
2) basic idea is is to separate the two like (Visual C++ / MFC) & ((Managed) C++/CLI)
because a vb coder might get vb.net answer and vice versa
and they will get enough number of supporters
instead it should be separated as (vb.net) & (visual basic / vba)
the fact is that they are quite different to be categorized as one

That's a fine piece of writing. Where did you learn to write like that?

VB6 is obsolete. The forum should be renamed to just VB.Net, and any VB6 specific questions ignored or derided.

All VB stuff on this site should be deleted. - No, wait... That would result in a reduction in membership to around 30,000...

I don't imagine it would be missed either

If that happened, all those 'programmers' ( cough.. splutter.. cough.. ) would spread out on the internet infecting all those that come close. At least here they are quaranteened.
We could however try renaming it to VBS ( expanding the acronym would probably get me banned )( from the VB forum )

Well, instead of eliminating VB, CP could just deprecate it - you know, like MS decided to do with CRT string functions, that are still part of C++ standard.

I don't like this kind of discrimination.
Moreover, we don't need to be stuck in the cooler language to get interesting questions.

What about the people who still use it? You can't just ignore them, especially if they're writing business software.

Why not? MS ignores the unmanaged C++ developers...

There's no such thing as unmanaged code, John, I'd expect you to know that. It's their 'self managed', or it's managed by a framework that takes that control away from you.
Actually, even that's not true, you need to do your own memory management in managed code, too.

It's a messed up thread - one of the CP staff would need to re-thread that specific thread. The replies currently do not show under the right post - that's why some of the replies seem odd.

Note sure, but it may have something to do with the fact that there are multiple web servers.

That sounds like the sanitizer thinks your code is actually CSS and it's replacing a possibly-harmful attribute with "removed"

It's the HTML filtering code being paranoid again. I suppose it sees onlyInstance as OnLyinstance, which, if permitted, could allow malicious users to intercept Lyinstance events and do something evil.

why don't you increase the area of applications
1) you have variety of users and can develop something for any particular big group
2) you can also sell the products (controls / utilities ) created by members (and have a share of that)(add to disclaimer that CP will not take responsibility of support / debugging / development of the product and it will be authors responsibility) where authors have provided the license type 3 (as proposed by you)(where user can use it for educational purpose and have to pay otherwise)
3) (xna ) game engine (its a bit off beat but i think there will be demand )
4) create suggestions and demand tab (link) in store front to see what people need extra / other type of products and if you don't want do work on that suggestion just flash it to developers registered (registration will cost) for that

I suggest that the IntelliTXT advertising program be dropped. It is intrusive, it complicates the database, it adds to an already cluttered sign-up screen, and it defaces articles in a highly objectionable and inexcusable manner.
And please don't say, "But it brings in revenue!" That's an argument for drug dealers and whores.
And don't say, "You can turn it off." This is a matter of principle, not taste.

Someone's got to pay for this site. Advertising revenue is down across the board right now so anything that brings in the revenue for CP is fine by me.
