I think I get asked about once per month why there are no forums on the site. My reasoning has always been that we already have the managed directx newsgroup, the MSDN forums and the Gamedev.net DirectX forum which are read and answered by many more folk than read The ZBuffer. I try to cover the 1st 2 of those forums and there are others who cover gamedev pretty well so if you ask in one of those 3 places you will likely get an answer to your question (for the record that doesn't mean ask in ALL 3 places like I've started to see recently). I also point out that a few of the other managed directx sites tried forums and have very few posts, though they probably get less traffic than me.

However, I do understand people who think that as a one stop shop for Managed DirectX there should be some discussion area. So I figure lets be democratic about it.

If you have an opinion, please email me and let me know what you think. Some suggestions:

• Forums: yes or no based on the logic above
• If yes:
  • Should we leave technical support in the other forums
  • What other forums would you like to see other than technical support
