Take over Code Universe
-
Chris, can you please comment ? I would love to hear your opinion(s).
What, on if he's a millionaire, or if he should fork out to buy a scabby site that no-one visits ? Hassan, you've painted yourself into a corner here, and continued insistence that CP should buy CU really looks a lot like you're in the employ of CU. 'Feel safe posting code there' ? Who is making you/why would you feel you need to ? Christian As I learn the innermost secrets of the around me, they reward me in many ways to keep quiet. Men with pierced ears are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought Jewellery.

Hi, the previous threads about the Code Project Sister site have slipped away. I have a idea. It would be easier to have a sister site if Code Project take over Code Universe and names Code Universe it's sister site. The advantage of taking over Code Universe is that it has the same design as Code Project and it's related to Linux/PHP/Unix, etc. programming. Chris won't have to do that much work since the site looks the same as Code Project and it is already established so you won't have to write a Non-MS programming site from scratch. Even though i hate Code Universe because they stole Code Project's design, i have to admit, they do have some good content. Even if their content sucks, after acquring them things can be changed around. As far as system adminstration is considered, Non-MS fans here at Code Project can manage the site while Chris is busy managing Code Project. Just an idea.
As Chris said he doesn't have time to dedicate to another site. If he's not working on it what point is there to have it associated with the CodeProject site?

Chris can be a millionaire by providing content for the NON-MS world. I'm sure Chris is already a millionaire (remember all those trips to Redmond? It costs lots of money) and doesn't care a bit about such b*llshit like CodeUniverse. Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com
I'm sure Chris is already a millionaire Bwahaha! <wipes tears of laughter from eyes> Nooooo - Chris is not even vaguely close to being a millionaire. If Chris were a millionaire (or even a hundred-thousand-aire) he'd not be living in Canberra ;) cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)

No Hassan - I will not have anything to do with your Code Universe. With the infrastructure here at CodeProject it would take me about a week to have another fully functioning site up and running. Retro-fitting an existing 'site' like C.Universe would be a waste of time. The problem is not in building, but in growing, maintaining, and managing. And sure - I could get others to help out, but who then manages the managers? Who deals with business, legal, advertising, accounting? It's not gonna happen. End of discussion. cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)

Ok, fine Chris. Don't take over Code Universe or create anything from scratch. Thanks, for your opinion. I was just suggesting something, not forcing it. :|

A few points here 1/ Take over ? We're going to storm the barricades with Uzis ? Or we're going to give this guy money for ripping off CP ? 2/ CU has no useful information, it's all links ( at least it was the two times I've looked as a result of discussions here ). If you want a links site, you don't need to buy it. Links are free. 3/ Ever heard of code reuse ? Why would Chris need to write a site from scratch when he has all the code already from CP ?

Christian, Apparently people *can* leave a paper trail in cyberspace: Go to this message in the lounge and click on the head next to Sarah's name. Surprised at what you find? Ah, well. That doesn't really mean much. Jon Sagara Sagara Software

:eek: Wow, what is this ? A huge bug i guess. Nice one Jon. I guess you are the first one to find a huge bug with these forums. That is so :suss:

:D. I knew it all along... Know, if only someone could do the same experiment with Namjal K's account... Nah, three identities would be a bit much. :) David Wulff dwulff@battleaxesoftware.com

Are you telling me i am Najmul K or Sarah. Man, that is just so funny. :laugh: Come on guys, use your brain. It can't be right. That's like saying Christian Graus is also Lauren.

I tried. Najmul's was a separate account, BUT, both he and Hassan live in Toronto... Draw your own conclusions. ;) Jon Sagara Sagara Software

What makes you think i am Najmul Khawaja ? :mad: Just because we live in the same cities doesn't mean that we are the same people. There are probably other people in Toronto that read the Code Project. Are they also Najmul Khawaja ?

A couple of points: 1/ These sort of controversies always seem to surround 'Sarah'. 2/ 'Sarah' is not in the whos who. She has posted an article or two, although only the joke one remains. 3/ Between Sarah and yourself we have the only two people on the site with any positive feeling towards the content of Code Universe 4/ 'Sarah' last posted at 18:40 on 14 August. 'Hassan' started posting on 18:01 20 August. 5/ All posts by 'Sarah' are IDed as Hassan. These facts combined make with the fact that Sarah doesn't seem to post anymore, lead me to consider the possibility that 'Sarah' has changed his/her nick to 'Hassan' Christian As I learn the innermost secrets of the around me, they reward me in many ways to keep quiet.

Relax, Hassan. Yeesh. I never said that you are Najmul, I merely pointed out an interesting coincidence. Also, barring some gargantuan error in the forum scripts and database, we caught you masquerading as Sarah. You both have the same id #: 15903. This is probably an auto-incrementing integer, it is probably a primary key, and each one of us has a unique one assigned to us when we sign up. If you are correct in assuming there is an error, then we are all screwed because that means two people are sharing one primary key. That just can't happen. We got you. You're caught. Smile. Laugh about it. No one hates you for it. I think it's funny, really. :) Jon Sagara Sagara Software

1/ These sort of controversies always seem to surround 'Sarah'. So... What does that have to do with me being Sarah. I am not Sarah. 2/ 'Sarah' is not in the whos who. She has posted an article or two, although only the joke one remains. How does she submitting an article here at Code Project mean that i am Sarah ? If you are following that logic than i am also Christian Graus or Jon Sagara since you guys have also contributed to this site. 3/ Between Sarah and yourself we have the only two people on the site with any positive feeling towards the content of Code Universe. Since when did i start having positive feelings towards Code Universe. I hate Code Universe since they are a ripoff. :mad: I just suggested to take over Code Universe so their staff can be hurt because they would end up losing their job. 4/ 'Sarah' last posted at 18:40 on 14 August. 'Hassan' started posting on 18:01 20 August. Christians the dates you provided are different. What does that have to do with me being Sarah. 5/ All posts by 'Sarah' are IDed as Hassan. These facts combined make with the fact that Sarah doesn't seem to post anymore, lead me to consider the possibility that 'Sarah' has changed his/her nick to 'Hassan' This is a bug or maybe my account got hijacked or something.
