- @SOTE:
- I feel 'Abandoned Scripts' is too specific.
- Pulover's Macro Creator already has a forum (minus the apostrophe).
- For IronAHK, either it could have its own forum, or, we could have a C# forum.
- I asked for a C++ forum, with the AHK source code in mind.
- I would keep C++ and C# completely separate, IMO it would create a mess, and the languages are completely different, but I would consider arguments for combining them.
- If people wanted to resurrect a script/library, Scripts and Functions would currently be the best place. I think a Collaboration forum is a fair idea, *BUT*, so far I haven't seen *one* AHK collaboration project. Every project is maintained by one person exclusively. If you can think of any exceptions, be my guest and mention them.
- I'm still in favour of a Collaboration forum, but at the moment, no-one's collaborating.
- My reason for singling out ASM, is that ASM is used essentially as standard AHK code in AHK scripts. But it's far better to separate it out from Ask For Help.
- Also:
- ASM is used by multiple languages.
- ASM needs more support/detail than higher-level languages, and is comparatively badly served by existing forums.
- ASM could become a large forum, with the many types of ASM available e.g. FASM, MASM.
- ASM itself is used by the AHK source code.
- The friendliness, relatively large size, and focus on practicality of the AHK forum, plus the difficulty of ASM, could make the AHK forum the best place on the Internet to discuss ASM.
- Any language used by an AutoHotkey fork, could be worthy of a subforum in Other Programming Languages.
- Many of the languages you've mentioned have essentially never been discussed on these forums, unlike C++/ASM.
- Re. C, I think people know that C++ infers C/C++. And that C would be something that would be OK to discuss in a C++ forum.
- Thanks for your post.
