I know what sites are around for other languages.  Euphoria is in a 
different class to C and PHP.  Euphoria has a small base of users who
communicate almost exclusively using this email list and spread source
code almost exclusively using the RDS web site.  C has probably 
millions of users (PHP probably 10's or 100's of thousdands of users)
all doing many things on many platforms all with different experience
levels.  Euphoria probably has a few hundred active users at most.
My point being starting another forum or source code sharing site
doesn't give any more benefits to the Euphoria community.

As an example of something I think would be a benefit to Euphoria
is an expanded archive.  More categories, bigger reviews with more
detailed info and ratings.  
Something like the  Vaults of Parnassus for Python.

I didn't imply that you would force people to join, I didn't imply 
that your shoving anything down anyone's throat.  And I will obviosly
do as I please.

ok, I should have said 
"people are on this mailing list because they want to use Euphoria, 
not 'A WEB PORTAL WRITTEN IN PHP'".
I have no interest in looking up what PHPHUKE is ... I assumed it was
a web portal written in PHP.  If you where developing a EuphoriaNUKE
I think you could expect more reaction.

You requested help from people to do PHPNUKE coding.  This is a 
"Euphoria" mailing list.  People here like coding in "Euphoria".
why not ask on the phpnuke mailing list?  
That was my point.

So your saying you wan't other people to work their butts off to make
the site successful???  And why would anyone do that when a current
method of comunication is available?

I beleive you posted asking for peoples help?  I beleive you need to
generate some interest before you will get people to help.

I'm sorry to say Jordah your attitude sounds rather immature and 
selfish.  
I didn't say you should'nt do it ... I said if you want it to be 
successful "your" the one who will have to do all the hard work
and don't expect people to flock over there unless there are some
benefits not currently found using the current methods.
