Threads Moved Out of This Forum

Due to the large number of threads started in this forum that appear to be outside the scope of an 'Advanced Topic' and better served in other areas of the site, as well as the often overwhelming number of 'redirect' notices that show up in the forum thread index due to the thread moves, this forum has started to get cluttered with links to threads in other forums, and we will no longer leave these 'redirect' notices when moving threads out of this forum.

Although this may be a little confusing and frustrating to some people, it's important to keep in mind that this forum was started at the request of a large number of members that were frustrated with the notion of having to wade through the main forum to find a 'cutting edge' topic in the midst of the overwhelming number of topics that have been discussed on this site numerous times. Over time, this forum has started to look more and more like the regular discussion forum, with the relatively small number of 'Advanced' topics being shadowed by the types of questions that have been asked and answered a million times. We have attempted to leave thread 'redirect' notices when threads are moved, but that has not really solved the main issue and only replaced one problem with another.

So as a reminder, this forum is meant to discuss topics that do not routinely come up or that have not been asked and answered on this site repeatedly. While it is a rather subjective decision on our part to decide which topics are 'Advanced', we try to be fair and only move threads that obviously fall outside of the scope of the forum. Please bear with us as we attempt to refocus this forum and get it back on track with its orginial charter. Thanks.
