Off topic:

This is a great thread. We should sticky it somewhere as an example of how to ask newbie questions. GJ to Kyro.

Yes.  Adron, you should help out more in B.net BotDev.  And his explanations should be posted there too.

I don't really like the amount of stickied threads, the amount of stupid posts (repeats of the same question or off-topic replies), and typically someone will have answered already by the time I get to a post (even if it's just an off-topic reply there, I prefer the posts clean).

Yes, too many stupid questions is my biggest problem, it's why I don't really post here.  There is just too much to read through.  I'll usually click on this, read the list of new topics, and decided that none of them are worth reading.

Oops, they were supposed to be unsticked a while ago.  Thanks for the reminder!

Maybe we should make a separate forum for ADVANCED Battle.net bot development discussion, for things which haven't been discussed 100 times over?

What are others opinions on this?

Or just make "new to battle.net bot development"

I would be in favor of this.

i like that.. but y'all would probly ban me because... uh just because  

I think it sounds like a good Idea that should be approached.

I'm sure it's a good idea. I would imagine some people will simply post questions in either or both forums without too much thought about which one they should use. Any ideas as to how you draw the line between what is an advanced discussion or not?

i would think asking for Packet Parsing help and other questions of the sort might be in the more advanced forum... and

post your source, please fix should belong in the other one

I would have to agree with baddblood, that seems like a logical way to do it.

The problem with having two forums which basically account for the same thing is one will typically be completely ignored and inactive while the other one will be active with avid posters.  Look at the General Programming and Advanced Programming forums.  I haven't seen a post in the Advanced Programming forum for months now.  Just something you should keep in mind.  If you want it to be successful I'd recommend providing something in the forum which isn't included in the other or making a clear difference between the two boards not necessarily present in the two programming boards; perhaps a different subject to discuss?

Edit:  Appears to be a last post on May 17th, but that was a single post by Skywing which didn't account for any replies...The last post with replies was February 22nd, 2004...

Good idea, break [Bot Development] down into sperate sections. Instead of having one big forum on it, have it sectional, like a specific forum for packet related questions, and maybe another for general discussion on bot idea's and designs, and so on..... That should cut down on the same questions being asked more than once.

I think you should make two sepret forums. One for actual b.net packet information/help/discution and another for bot related programming (syntax help). That way you have the newbs who dont know how to program posting on one forum and the intelligent questions about packet use on another. That would by my way of drawing the line and you wouldnt even have to call one forum more advanced then the other.
