Ok, in the past few months i've been noticing that people in the forums i visit are asking stupid, undescriptive questions about extremely simple problems which only require some logic... I came to realize that there is only noobs (for the lack of a better to word to describe an inexperience rather stupid user) who seek help on forum. So im wondering where do the really good programers and other good computer people sick help from? Do they even look for help? Documentation, MSDN, Self help things?

I presonally use MSDN and other documentations extensively and rarely if ever ask questions on boards now adays...

EDIT:

And also... the peopel that are going in college.. every year the same questsions come at about the same time.. So its like a cycle... they all start with the mortgage calc, then a calc, than some forumal (fabbiconi thing?) then translating numbers to words and etc...

I mean there is so many warnings and notes everywhere that say "SEARCH THE DAMN BOARD" yet they dont...

hmmmm...I don't know. Being a newb myself I would think they go somewhere in the desert for their secret meetings and things.

The whole point of the site is to help everybody; go look up my first posts when I was messing around with VB, I don't sound much different than a lot of people who are new here.

I think really smart people ask camels...they're nature's mathmaticians.

i read the words but all my brain put together is "i am so smart waaaah waaaah waaaah"

I'd say if you don't ask "smart" questions at a forum like dream.in.code, then dream.in.code will always be a place for beginners. If you ask a few advanced questions, and try to get some people that know what's up to answer them, it'll attract more types of those questions and balance out the playing field.

Just because the majority of the forum's questions are at the novice-intermediate level does not mean you are forbidden to post advanced questions; we have plenty of very intelligent people here that are happy to help and collaborate.

i read the words but all i see is "waaaah waaaah waaaah"

EDIT: ok ok.. you are missing the point of this thread...

Where do smart get help from?

Too many noobs in forums.

what

[fooboo]

I believe he's genuinely asking, irrespective of how many noobs are on this forum or any other, where do people who are advanced go for advice?

Perhaps there are advanced forums out there.

Donde esta tu pantalones?

[the_hangman]

anytime i ask an advanced question here, i never get and answer, (cept for jayman occasionally coming to my rescue) So I end up having to figure it out myself..

So i'd say they get help from either their own head, or the msdn..
