How to effectively use CodeProject / the Lounge / Forums?
-
Every day in my inbox, I get the CodeProject summary email and I love the content and enjoy the snarky discussions that hit the top of the lists. Then sometimes I'll look through other threads that have catchy titles. But I feel like I am missing something. Clearly, people are seeing questions very quickly and are answering quickly. Are they just getting a bzillion emails for each forum? Is there a web app? A phone app? An IRC channel? How do people interact with the community in a manner to make it a community as opposed to just a mostly-historical-view of questions that have already been discussed as-naseum? Or am I just better off not knowing as it will be a massive time sink.

That sounds reasonable. Most of the fast answers (Q/A, Lounge etc.) are from CP junkies, means "so heavily addicted dependent" :laugh:
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

Try being useful from the other side of the planet, when I opened up CP this morning a response from JSOP was 4 pages down in the Lounge. For those of us that do not have CP open all day every day we are doomed to be spectators, either commit to being a CP junkie or be satisfied to be a spectator.
