I am going to begin working on a script that will attempt to answer any question/problem with AutoHotkey, primarily for noobs.
It will use a flowchart system (similar to the popular "20 Questions" game) to narrow down the user's issue to a solution.

I would like help in creating a flowchart for every AHK question possible.
If you answer a AFH topic with a viable solution please post atleast the question and answer here.

FLOWCHART EXAMPLE:
Game Macro>Fails to acknowledge>Worked as desired in Notepad>Attempted "Send Play">ANSWER: Try "SetKeyDelay", [Example code]

Great idea Ace Coder, I'll try to work out some flowcharts for questions I answer frequently

I know it's still in development but something like the script you propose running on a Sparrow webserver would be great, as then noobs could use it themselves.

It just occured to me that this would require a second forum to discuss the problems people are having getting help for their questions in the first forum, so maybe not the greatest idea I've ever had

I plan to keep this script very simple, and in the event the script can't help a user, it directs them to write an AFH post using http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=308780#308780.

And after some thought...
NEW EXAMPLE:
Code:
Game Macro>Game won't acknowledge AutoHotkey commands>
Does the script work in Notepad?
If Yes
 GoTo, WorksInNotepad
Else
 GoTo, Doesn'tWorkInNotepad

What about a second IIRC channel, or a dedicated IRC, where it auto-bots answers. Instead of an all new forum or thread model on the site, we can just use existing tech to make a chat bot spit out canned answers?

I don't see any need for a new thread/forum/or even an IRC Bot...
Why would we need any of these?

As far as I know, there is already a bot on the IRC chat. I got on one day, asked a question, and some bot randomly spit out a quick answer. It was a link to a function I needed. I got my answer in just a couple of seconds flat.

lol.
there are 2 bots (sometimes even more):
Robokins
Lolikins
---------
robokins is triggered by a real human. if I type !msgbox, robokins will fetch a link to the msgbox page. So Eedis, if you left without saying thanks because you thought it was only a bot... :'(
Lolikins is a bot made for fun.
