(Ovid - OT Posts) Re: SQuirreL Monks

in reply to SQuirreL Monks

It's kind of touch and go on this one. For the most part, OT posts are quickly downvoted and sometimes receive "this is not /(?i)VB|JavaScript|SQL/monks.org". Personally, I don't mind an occasional OT post so long as they are clearly labeled, infrequent, and made by someone who's been here a while.

I suppose the last point may irritate a few, but I don't want some anonymous monk posting, say, a Javascript question. Personally, I think that you've been here enough and have a strong enough reputation (and I'm not talking about XP), that I am more likely going to treat an honest request seriously.

It also might interest you to know that an off-topic section has been proposed before and vroom was rather interested in the idea. Perhaps there is hope?

Cheers,
Ovid

    That would be great. I too have been sitting on my hands w/r/t SQL and database queries - I've been trying to find somewhere more appropriate than PerlMonks to ask this type of question, but I've been unsucessful (so far).
