New Open Forum vs General Q&A
[link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/forum/show?forumid=23|General Q&A] is in the "Area 51" section of zIWeThey. Area 51 (a takeoff on the alien spaceship Area 51 out west) is for technical discussions. So General Q&A should be used for technical questions that don't fit elsewhere in Area 51.

Note that [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/forum/show?forumid=1|Open Forum] has forumid = 1. It was the first forum here. It's the most general. Other more specialized forums were created later. So if a more specialized forum exists and is a fit for your topic, you should use it.

If you've used Usenet, the forum organization philosophy is similar here. Use the least general forum that fits. I.e. don't post something in comp.os if it would fit better in comp.os.ms-windows.installation (or whatever).

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Scott.

Thanks for explaining that. :)

No, I've never used use.net, but I'm trying to fit topics into the right place as much as I can here. :)

Appreciate the information, I had no idea what Area 51 was. :)
