The real way to be a coder or what the hell is called is through himself and his comp.
No1 else can teach coding except we to our selfs
I think it will fail
My thoughts,and i dont mean to discourage u
It means a lot u try to make the best of this Community.

You kinda misunderstood my post. I don't think the forum will be a dead-end at this stage. I'm just encouraging them to think about it, and create some material to put into it before they go ahead and make the same mistake as with EU. I don't disagree with the concept if they can manage it well either.
It's true somewhat that coding is self-taught. That's obvious from the few computing books that sell these days. The way to learn to code is to bash away at it, and use sources like google when you hit a wall. However, you need to start somewhere, and using a search engine, or asking you friend who know a little bit of VB isn't the best source for that. "The internet" in general will probably point beginner coders to Java and C#, but they're way off - neither of those is 'ideal' for gamehacking, though they can be used for it. Having somewhere to start may encourage those that are clueless on the subject.
I don't agree with keeping knowledge to ones self at all, I would share everything I know if I had the literative skills to compile it all into books and whatnot. The problem is giving people the knowledge they need without wasting your time (ie, the knowledge is already readily available if they search), and this is where I see it not worthwhile to create a section, unless you can provide new, useful material, or link to the relative materials where needed. And importantly, keeping things up to date, discarding things that are out of date. That's something that a search engine can't do, and people end up learning something that they shouldn't.
