...one of those forums I check in with during the day. Usually I visit most places once - here I keep skipping in every few hours.

Obsession for me. Don't know why but I have been hell bent on answering posts lately. Took time off this weekend (and it felt nice) though I got the shakes toward last night.

But seriously, I am here almost all day long checking in and out, then at night when I develop I am here again.

like most of you i'm on many forums but so many of them are full of people that love to flame the n00bs and it sickens me. i'm nto a forum n00b and i know what i'm doing a good 75% of the time. i just hate being berated because i have less posts than someone else does. doesn't mean crap

I feel you all. There a few other forums that I visit, but only after I cooled my fingers here. And usually it is just to see how other developers on other forums respond to folks' questions. But as far as I'm concerned, this is the place to be for PHP related assistance and learning.

Which always made me wonder if Feyd were to join another forum somewhere would he be able to compile 15K plus posts in his first year?


Who am I kidding, Feyd can compile anything... :wink:

oh oh oh. ALSO!

i love how the fact that even if i have an over complicated question there is someone here to give me some kind of imput.

most other places just scan over the hard questions and goto the sessions or DB crap that is usually just a 'hey you forgot session_start()' or something really easy. for instance Hokey answered me about the question that i ahd about custom extensions.

*sigh*

good tmes

I guess we attract the down to earth types. We disdain abstract answers which throw a ton of alien terminology at newbies (well, we spend a few paragraphs explaining them if they're unavoidable!).

Plus we have the liveliest bunch of mods and admins around.

AND...

When we go off-topic, we really go off-topic. You gotta love a place that has a few off-topic takers around, you know?
