I was searching the archives and came across this old thread:
http://www.woodmann.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5377&highlight=denial
I know Doug is a good guy and an advanced reverser. He has helped me out before and I know he has nothing against helping people new to the scene or who don't have a lot of experience. So, I don't think he was in any way aiming the post at people lacking in experience. He was just tired of having the same old, unresearched questions posed.
I tend to post in the newbie section because in many ways I am still a newbie. I do it out of respect for more advanced reversers who might not want people asking dumb questions. However, there really isn't another section for questions that are not so advanced. but which aren't really 'new' newbie.
If the thread above has any relevance, then a newbie is someone strictly new to this board, who hasn't read the FAQ, and who just rushes out a question without thinking. I've been around on and off for a couple of years, so I'm not exactly a newbie in that sense. Maybe someone could advise me on where to post if I have a question that is not related to Tools of Our Trade, or is considered an advanced topic, about packing/unpacking, cryptography, Olly, mini projects, Linux, or Off Topic.
There is no general discussion area for us new to intermediate types, and maybe that's why people like myself tend to accumulate in the Newbie forum.
Just a thought. :-)
