The site seems to be having a lot of bizarre issues lately. Some messages have disappeared as well, with no related reputation events happening.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

The spam onslaught has necessitated some extreme actions. There have been collateral damage.

Thank you. Closing barcket has been there, but the declaration of List<B> inside <pre></pre> tags was writen directly - without html tags. I forgot to replace [<] and [>] with corresponding html tags.

How do i know under what license https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/285/Transparent-group-box
is? But I suspect i will not get a reply from the author either since I can tell from the author's profile page, that he has not logged into CodeProject since this article was posted about 17 years ago.
it dates back to the point in time where CodeProject went through a "re-birth" - if you look at the dates, this article was posted 5 months before the author's profile was created.

Unfortunately we can't add a license on the author's behalf, they have to do it.
Thanks,

In My Answers page, I saw this
My Answers Page[^]
1. Don't have a tick button beside the question although my answer has been accepted.
2. Don't know why the question still get 0 answers although it already has answer. Is it bug?

If there are answers accepted you will see a green check next to it, and it's counter box should be green too...
Or at least that how it was before it gone 
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Sounds like the bug I reported last week: Answers list showing as questions[^]
Judging by the icon, the fix is "in progress".

As it says on the label... a whole bunch of Kent's posts under 2 hours old are interleaved with Bill's, Mark's and Eddy's.

If you go and look at the first thirty "questions," you'll see that most of them are heavily down-voted, many falling into the category of requests-for-code. I haven't the stamina (or eyesight) to examine a larger sample.
If this is the current state of the C# forum, why can't we re-route these questionable questions to QA, where, hopefully, they'll get soon removed, or better yet, kill them pronto ?
I can't see the value of a C# forum full of OT posts, and the formulaic replies often made to them.
cheers, Bill

So is it time to kill the programming forums?

I don't think so; they still have a purpose. They provide a better "discussion" format than is possible (or at least easy to maintain) in QA which is a lot more "solution" orientated.
It only becomes a problem when students post their homework, or our ex-resident Help Vampire finds something new.
What it needs is better users ...

Isn't the primary issue here how to move, or kill, OT and 'gimme questions quickly ?

Hi, Chris,
I think some strategy short of murder is worth bandying about
Maybe a bit of forensics, first ?
1. is my current perception of a C# forum "clogged up" with OT static accurate ?
2. what's happening that down-voted messages are being removed quicker on QA than on the C# forum ? is that perception accurate ?
3. have we reached a point where discussion of language issues are less in demand ?
4. if posts were moved to QA, would that damage our tender young crop of future savants ?
5. better to remove heavily down-voted posts ?
best wishes, Bill
