New Forum Suggestion

I was wondering if it would be possible to start some new forums for particular software titles such as Mysql etc. Or maybe just create one more forum for users of Apache,Mysql and PHP.

Maybe even have a forum that focuses on Web design as that would incorporate just about everything I originally started using Linux for.

Anyway just a suggestion.

Tell me if u think i,m nuts lol

I concur wholeheartedly with the suggestion for a forum dedicated to MySQL.

I've been wrestling with the f**king thing and getting nowhere - no doubt due to my own stupidity - this is despite having the DuBois tome!

Please please please, can we have a MySQL forum PLEASE!

While I don't feel as though I need it, I wholeheartedly agree and support this suggestion.

I think not a forum on just mysql but say a forum dedicated to databases. There is already one for programming.

I don't think there's currently enough demand to warrant a dedicated MySQL forum. The Linux -Servers forum is certainly more than appropriate though.

Why not we just get a huge list of Open Source software and create a forum for each.. wouldn't that start to get a wee bit messy and confusing to some members? Hopefully you catch my drift, too many forums/sub-forums is unecessary, too little makes it hard to search and sort for particular topics, etc.

The problem with this idea is that newbies to database theory wouldn't have much idea of the client-server concept, and so would not search the Servers forum.

They wouldn't have to know. From a posting perspective, it would be acceptable in a number of forums. From a searching perspective, most searches (and for newbies probably all searches) are done on a site-wide basis.
