I searched all the permanent threads and there was no mention of these sources. And given that the question isn't mapping related, but rather QuakeC related (which in its own right has nothing to do with, but can be used to aid mapping) and there is no permanent thread for that I didn't think it would be an issue. Clearly I was wrong !
This is only my second thread. On the first, users who cared to help pointed out how I could search the forums (given there is no search function provided) which has helped a lot, but I didn't realize that should I not find my answer I would be shot down for asking a question ?

Just read
http://www.celephais.net/board/cre... for the next time. If you don't know where to post, just shove it into General Abuse. People will see it.

I didn't shoot you down, I pointed out where to post your question in order to get a response.
I'm aware this board work differently to the majority of the forums. It's why I didn't insult your mother...
And interestingly, there is a QuakeC thread, it just got knocked off the most recent threads by people posting various 1 question threads.

If we don't want new threads, we should remove the "start a new thread" link. Otherwise, whatever.

What if the "start a new thread" page explained that Discussion threads are for broad topics or questions that are likely to have many replies, where there is no simple answer and many people are likely to have different opinions.
If it's a simple question or comment that will only get a few responses, please post in one of the existing permanent threads, such as Mapping Help, Screenshots & Betas, Jobs & Mappers Wanted, or General Abuse.

Don't be deterred by those snarky bastards. I for one, am glad to have another member of the community aboard.
Now, let's just let this thread move on down the page quietly, shall we?
