[SOLVED] Can we start an NS2 sub-forum now?

I know it's probably a bunch of students, but wow NS2 questions have grown. Seems to be a very few set of experienced individuals who have anything to contribute. They are good contributions too, complete with links to content and examples.

This just possibly seems to be a good potential sub-forum versus the various places where they ask these questions. Not to say that they won't still ask their questions "wherever" anyways ... but threads can be moved.

My $0.02 worth: I wouldn't. The questions asked are typically the same ones over and over, and the answers could be found if they searched the forum(s)/Google to start with. I've seen knudfl post the exact same links multiple times in questions that are necroposted.

If there is such a sub-forum created, I'd certainly put sticky posts at the top with the various (identical) questions/links in them. I know LEACH is a huge one, so putting a link to "Here's the current LEACH code for NSXX with instructions" would be as helpful as it could be.

Has been discussed before. NS-2 is just another piece of software.

And not used very much any more. A new (different) ns-3 was released ~10 years ago.

Thanks for the feedback. This is far too narrow a topic to warrant a subforum though IMHO.
