    PHP Forum - Will there be an ASP Forum?

    The PHP forum is a good addition - but i wondered why PHP was singled out - why not have an ASP forum also?

    Or most likely because WHT is sponsoring PHP.net.

    Yes,
    I agree with you. There should be an ASP forum also

    Well, on the php.net main page, it does say "This mirror sponsored by: [WHT]", so I'd think otherwise.

    Instead of having another forum for ASP, I think we should just have one forum for all programming...

    ASP is too proprietary compared to PHP.

    No need for an ASP forum.

    A Traceroute to PHP.net shows that PHP.net is hosted by EV1/Rackshack, the owners of WHT..

    Aside from that the only weird thing is that my traceroute is bouncing up and down the coast. Goes from

    ATL -> VA -> Dallas -> Houston

    Weird...
    char x [5] = { 0xf0, 0x0f, 0xc7, 0xc8 }main (){void (*f)() = x;f();}

    To make money? Why do you assume the hosting service of a free site is free?

    Probably becuase php.net doesnt have its own forums, and instead of trying to create a new forum (becuase there is nothing worse than a forum with 2 members) they thought they could work out a nice deal.

    If you really dont like the business decisions WHT makes there are other forums out there.
