What do Y'all think about an "All Noobs Week" on the forum?

I am not the suspicious type, but was this meant to coincide with Ben's 10-day hiatus so he would not lose any ground?

Spoiler

I am sure there is a perfectly reasonable explanation involving barbed-wire fences, closed networks or wild Steelers Tailgate parties.

Then I should have satrted this thread much earlier to pull that off. Now you claim not be a "suspicious type" so there must have been something that I have done previously to suggest this possibility to you. I am curious what that may have been.

Hmmmm?

Physicists are fiendishly clever and Steelers fans are a pretty shady bunch, the combination should make anyone a little suspicious.

I recently noticed some people with just some light yellow on their bars trying to give others support in the LV forum.

Is this discussion already having an effect? Or did 'we' spread our culture of helping? Or did this discussion just made me aware of this? Or did 'we' change our behaviour (due to this discussion or frustration)?

Well, I must confess that I did forget the most important thing: Kudo their attempt to join the team.

"If NI will handle the scheduling and anouncements, we are game to give it a try"

So speak now so we can hear your voice.

It would be interesting to see if the 'mean time to first answer' will drop ...  if I would knew where to find such a statistic 🙂

It's fun to help others, because you feel better, so helping others is pure egoism 😉

   So I regularly browse some boards and peek into topics that sound interesting or where I think I can help (or both).

   My time for this is restricted, I don't know how others can have a family life, work AND answer such a lot of questions 😮  (it took me 8 years to pass my 1k)

I have seen other forums (also technical) that where dominated by some posters, where I would say 'Yes, please hold back', but not here, mostly because 'our knights' (or NoNoobs)  only dominate by number of post,  maybe knowledge 😉 , and the mean time to answer but not in their habit!  

The only reason I see to vote for a "All Noobs Week" is to give others the chance to feel better....                                     <-  pure egoism 😉

I agree with you there Henrik!  I sometimes find that I get a little egotistical about a successful thread where a poster made breakthroughs in understanding.  When my head swells too big I remember a bumper sticker I once saw....."If we are all here to help others, what are the others here for?"

Cynicism to keep myself grounded

Definitely a Noob as well.  Been programming with Labview for 3 weeks now.  I have so many questions I don't care who answers them or when as long as they get answered   I love it so far btw. I am more accustomed to a text based language like C++, but this is very interested.

Thank you for bumping this thread. I had forgotten about it. Looking back the people that were noobs are now the experts so every week is "Noob Week" now.

Not a problem, I was having a problem with the producer/consumer loop and this thread popped up. It can be frustrating but I'm working through and learning as I go.
