As General Visual Basic section has so many topics, the topics should be divided into further categories.

Categories like Graphics, File Manipulation, String Manipulation, Memory, Forms and different categories for all the basic controls should be introdued. By doing this, it will be easier to search for posts and even post a post.

When a new user/visitor vists the site it would be easier for him/her to browse through the categories and get what he/she wants.  It will also be helpful to post-ers. If a post-er is specialised in some part (say Timer) of VB then he can go to Timer control category and will be able to answer the questions. As there are many unanswered topics in this forum, dividing them would help.

When a user posts a new topic he should not be forced to choose a category. Forum Admins and Gods should be allowed to categorise a topic.

Yeah, although there aren't as many divisions in VB.NET/2005 as VB4/5/6, there should be some sort of categories in .NET, at least between database and other programming. A lot of db stuff has been coming up lately.

Yes, we'll definately be adding more categories to the .NET section of the forums. Intially there wasn't much activity in the .NET forum. As more programmers are switching from classic VB to VB.NET, the activity in the .NET forums has and will continue to increase and will therefore be adding more categories.

Sure, in general it has, but I wish the same could be said for the past week. I haven't seen any posts other than the stupid key generator thread. It's getting boring.

EDIT: Sorry, a couple more posts came in. I jumped the gun. But it was just that thread for a week, so I wasn't entirely wrong.
