An <b>Astounding</b> response to both this post and the poll!
&lt; /sarcasm&gt;
I think I'm gonna go for the DWMX04 Cert soon - gotta look good on a CV if nothing else.

Looking through the forums its the same names time after time:
Chris Charlton, Lee Diggins, Dave Thomas
Does <b><i>anyone else</i></b> have <b><i>anything</i></b> else to add? Forums are a place for people to talk. It doesn't matter if anyone gets something wrong, we learn from our mistakes - have a discussion about it and everyone benefits, say nothing and we all miss out!

I know how you feel, lately, there's a 70% chance that a reply is one of us three, but it's fun - you guys are cool. <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

Most forum posts are (usually) from new members or members with low post stats. Forums are for discussing, but here it's more of support... for now <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>. <b>I wonder if we should have DMXzone Blogs on DMXzone for Mod's & Managers to ramble?!?</b> But then again, when the Talkzones (might) turn into a support portal then forums may again be free for talking.

I think others don't know <i>how</i> or <i>where</i> to aid others; we're all working during the day. This is volunteer work. I started being helpful by doing some footwork - search DMXzone/Google/Bookmarks for extensions, links, tutorials, etc. Like it was stated before, some people can answer their own question within 20 minutes if they "look" (Google/DMXzone search). <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> But then again, we all have A.D.D. People shouldn't be scared, they just don't know they have a voice or two (yet). What do you think?!

Trouble is its not very easy to find, I stumbled into it when downloading the PHP book - there were about 3 posts. So I think people are coming to the TalkZones to ask questions that <i>could</i> be answered if they knew about the correct forum.
If the subject line were compared against FAQ's and other forum posts then there's a good chance that many of the more support type issues would 'solve themselves' by people getting directed to the appropriate support forum.

I don't know all the answers to all the questions but I'm joining in anyway
