in reply to Re: Perl forums
in thread Perl forums

I was quite active at EE for a while. It has been a nice place (I even got a free tshirt after obtaining my first expert level).

Then the management changed a few times. Nowadays it's pretty much unusable. The worst thing is the "search" that only spits out links when you are a paying subscriber or an "expert" that has gained a specific amount of "Expert Points" within the last month.

The best about EE is the large number of different topics. It's not just Perl.

I still have my member account, so I am thinking of posting:

come to Perlmonks, there you get the answer and a search that works.

at every Perl-question.
Let's see how long it takes to until they suspend my account :)

Update:
- Hey I'm still in the Hall Of Fame
- I wonder if this jmcg is this jmcg

    I used to be active there as well (expert in scanners ? :-) ) , got even two free t-shirts...
    But for your info. Indeed, i do miss the initial setup that EE used to have, there was a lot to learn there, perlmonks is the only site (for perl only) that attracs me in the same way as EE did in its early days.
    Can't we just set up another monk-site, like KnowledgeMonks, or something like that?
