There have been several requests for programming forums over the last few months, and the general feeling seems to be that although it would be a good idea, it just isn't possible.
Ie: Should it be just for MSN Messenger/Messenger Plus! programming, or extend to web programming etc? Should it be placed on the forum index, in Tech Talk or somewhere else? Would a new forum be one too many?
I see some advantages to a programming forum, but doubt it's realistically possible...unless we do Johnny_Mac's suggestion and rename Tech Talk.
