The first thing I noticed was that it seemed to me mostly high school students. That might be incorrect now, but that's what it seems like is General Discussion and in Spam. Don't take this the wrong way, but I notice a difference in maturatly level. As it turns out we are just into slightly different things. I'm not totally sure who I'm refering to when I say we. I see some people who post some great stuff, then turn aroud and post horrible stuff.


Well the reason for that could be that the site was desgined for high school students by high school students Razz . But since most of the mods are going to uni or last year high school next year there will probly be a shift towards a more uni and highschool based fourm.

**2003 has much fewer posts and users...


May be comapered to then number of posts and users 2004 will have, but for this site 2003 had alot more posts and users then 2002, so much so we had to chage sites to get more space and bandwith to sport the site. The number of users, posts and bandwith used is going up almost expetanly every year and alomost every month now.

and the reason why noone posts in java and w/e is because this site is mostly aimed at ppl doing turing..... unfortunately... not as many ppl go past that....

maybe if we recruited more xperts at those lanuguages... then we would have more stuff in those forums.... also...


Well i have been whonting to shift the foucose of the site to java and other languges for awhile now but the problem is that there are all ready tones of sites out there for such things. Right now this site is realy helping the turing comunit out alot and is prity much the only turing site around. Alougth this dose not mean we will not go into other languges at all, i am just saying that there will always be a strong place for turing here. Over the sumer and during the updates i whont to try to get the site more in to java since alot of univerys use it for 1st year compsci.

Yeah, I'm sure once we got enough programmers we could make a game.. Like in 5 years? Everyone will be out of university with compsci degrees, then you can all make a project together...Each mod is good in their section right? Graphics does graphics, etc.

I for one don't mind pop-ups... It's a lot better than defiling compsci's layout for the almighty dollar, and many people have stuff to catch popups anyways.

Actually, I think it'd be more likely to have a game made before people go to University. After Uni we'll be more experienced, but we'll also be busy with/finding jobs. The beauty of being young is the ability to mooch off of parents.
