First, I've been using code project for the last, i dunno, 3 years? maybe more. I do know that when i first joined (3 accounts ago) there were less than 100,000 users, and there are 1.6 million today. I realize Code Project is supported by its advertisers, etc, but why not let the community, with the leadership of Chris, and/or the other CP staff, build a new, open source site? As far as i know, there are people working on enhancements for the site, and i believe a new site (making assumptions here), but since CP is such a community focused site, it would be my guess that the community would be best suited to build a site to meet their needs. If there is already a project out there like this, let me know! I'd love to check it out. I'm by no means attacking any of the people who are maintaining, enhancing, or just using CP. I think CP is an excellent site, and I think CP has one of the best, most active communities you can find on the web. Especially when it comes to tech communities. just my 2 cents btw, this new found speed is fantastic! I hope it keeps up! Levi Rosol Blog By Levi[^] Two Rivers Marketing[^]

      I got to CP quite early, and the site was soon revolutionary at that time in how well it worked. However since then the rest of the WEB has caught up and I think passed CP. Maybe Chris et al never expected CP to grow this big and have the scalability problems that to me it seems to have. I have heard rumours that the whole place will be moved to .NET, and I wonder if Chris etc think it is just around the corner and for that reason don't use another approach. After all it is just a website not a whole OS or anything. :-) Regardz Colin J Davies The most LinkedIn CPian (that I know of anyhow) :-)

However, they are managable. Generally when i need CP, i open it, then i switch back to MSDN for a couple min, then back to CP and click a link, then back to MSDN, rinse and repeat... my suggestion for some sort of open source project would not be a silver bullet by any means. If it's the CA network causing slow times, then obviously finding a new host would be another upgrade. I was more curious as to what other people thought of the idea more than anything.
