Hey, I noticed that the MVP status does not extend to the LAMP forums. Is this by design or oversight?

Design. MVP status for LAMP and Java will be assigned at the end of the year based on articles that appear on those sites and participation in forums on that site. Allows us to award those members who are, say, strong in PHP but may not be as strong in the C++/.NET arena
cheers, Chris Maunder

Chris, I never understood the special handling of non-Microsoft technology. Why can't you have Java, PHP, Apache, MySQL, etc be treated just like everything else, i.e. give them their forums alongside all the other forums. That way, you would share users, MVPs, lounge, suggestions & bugs forum, etc etc. And save a lot of code and trouble. And keep things simple. And get an easy way to search it all. And avoid questions like this one, and the one above it (by Scott). :)

Secounded. But alas I feel that Chris has made up his mind.

The sites already share users (at least the .NET and LAMP sites do, the Java site doesn't but it's supposed to). And they also already share some forums. (As you mentioned in reference to question[^]. I actually don't mind having the sites separate for a couple of reasons: 1. I don't have to sort/filter articles and messages based on technology. 2. Many people don't have experience/expertise across technologies and/or platforms.

I do. I'm a C# proigrammer. I occasionally use other languages such as VB.NET and Java. I don't see why these languages get treated completely differently: for VB.NET I just go to another forum, for Java I am supposed to visit a similar but different site alltogether. I would prefer Chris and staff spend their time in improving the site's functionality, rather than duplicating and debugging again lots of stuff. A good filter, user selectable, conttolled through "my settings", would allow users to only see what they are interested in; a single merged site (and really functional search facilities) would offer the possibility to search everything in a single go, again subject to a handy filter system. :)

The reason is because we have 5 million users and 9 years of history overshadowing everything. We want new LAMP and Java sites to start with their own quirks and idiosynchrocies and we want members there to be able to express their views without worrying about the heavy Microsoft contigent. We've debated this internally a lot over the last few years and want to give the Java and LAMP sites a chance to be themselves. If we make it all once big site from the outset then we'll never be able to go back. But if we try it this way first then at least we can see what happens.

Hi Chris, I see, thanks. I wonder what new quirks you will come up with. :-D :-D
