It's something that I find DaniWeb is lacking, it would attract a good crowd of game developers and programmers, and would keep game programming discussions seperate from other forums such as the C/C++ forum.

It would also help newbies to game programming (but not to programming in general) get started, based on their skill and knowledge.

Here are a couple of general programming forums that have a special forum dedicated to game development, for more ideas:
Dev Shed's Game Development Forums

CBoard's Game Programming Forum

I'm hoping to hear from you all.

Thanks

Is it wise to create a development forum that is a mixture of all programming languages?
It's better to create a forum only after the community has already expressed interest in wanting to talk about it. Otherwise, it will just remain empty.

Are you really this smart or is it just my imagination ????
