This forum is one of the few on the net that seems to not be overrun with idiots asking pointless questions about very basic stuff. There's some very good discussion on architecture, emerging technologies etc. I put this down to the kind of person who would buy/use LLBLGen, and the fact that it's a forum that's not trying to be some huge catch-all for every technology going.

I personally don't check any other forums on a regular basis (well not coding ones anyway), because of the afformentioned issues, also because up until a year or so ago I was developing games for PS2/XBox/Gamecube etc. which is quite insular, nobody wants to share their latest good idea, cos they want their game to be better than yours.

Does anyone have recommendations of other similar forums to this? I'm generally interested in a lot of the theory behind devlopment, from design, architecture, patterns, psychology of development etc, as well as .NET stuff.

Cheers

Now j00 will be p0wned.

Uhhhh, as for the original topic: no, I don't know of any forums quite as good as this one. However, for most forums the signal/noise ratio is too low, so I don't even bother anymore, so admittedly, I'm not very well connected in the forum scene.

I'd say the quality of this forum has much to do with the quality and sophistication of the product and the level of developer that that attracts, or possibly even the incredible support Frans gives, but I think we all know the truth: it probably has more to do with Aglaia and the picture she posted for her avatar than Frans is willing to admit.

Aglaia, I knew the moment you posted your first post you were in for trouble. The relative professionalism of your average developer is simply no match for the highly concentrated form of collective immaturity found in a geek forum. In light of this, I think you should revert your avatar to the following picture.

It's the only way we'll really know how good the product really is.

Sheez, no kidding.

<EDIT> Where's that damn "It's Friday" post when you need it. I'm feeling punchy...
