  Let's create a forum called "Coding Ideas" that brings together talented individuals with innovative coding skills and ideas. To enhance the forum's appeal, we could request Tod to develop a dedicated coding tab. This addition would likely generate significant interest. However, access to this tab would be limited to participants who join the lottery post. What are your thoughts on this proposal?

  Not many are interested in code.

  Not many will share it. 

  Third thing that will happen is someone will take the code and write a program (and possibly sell it or the compilation of code on ebay or Amazon).

  It's a good idea which comes up every time a new forum is planned, but useless to the 90% who come for the tools available, the prediction board, and the interaction.

  Good luck!

  I'm probably here unless I'm not.
  Dreaming would be a perfectly useless function if it's only purpose was to entertain.

  I am thinking that garyo is probably correct about the 90%, but I also think that the other 10% would probably like it. 

  I am thinking of this as just publishing code snippets or very short programs to illustrate or assist with certain problems someone may be having like a cumulative count, a sort, a data lookup, data comparisons, or calculations for their own use so they would not have to use tools from a website. I am not thinking of publishing a very program unless the poster likes to share and says it is ok to use it elsewhere. I believe that JADELottery has posted quite a bit of stuff over time. Thanks, JADE!

  But for me, I probably would not be able to use many of any posted snippets because of what programming language would they be in. I am an old guy who does not know any "modern" languages and *probably* (not never) will not learn any of them.  Maybe I could follow some of the logic in the snippets of modern languages, or maybe not. But, it would be nice for the snippets to be preserved here and available in one place even though they can be currently posted in the messages we use today.

  Best wishes.

  But, I am not all bad all of the time...
