How about re-naming the current General Forum to Discussion Forum or maybe Kixtart Chit-Chat? Currently, based upon the posted questions, this forum looks a lot like the old Starters Forum. Also, is the current Starters Forum still relevant? If you change the names, you might have to move some question in this forum to other forums because these forum names use to work. Something else is going on. I suspect it is a combination of the forum names plus a herd instinct. Once a sufficient number of people start asking basic scripting questions in any forum the majority of newbies will follow.
