Re: Why is it so hard to find answers on cakephp trouble?

Good luck Russ !!!!

I've tried the IRC channel a few times, and IMHO you get treated 10x worse than you do here.  I agree, ask the wrong questions (ie newbie stuff) here and you get ignored.  Attempt the same thing on IRC and you will be ridiculed. The assumption must be changed from "you should know how to do that" to "oh, you're a newbie, what can I help you learn today ?".  I know not everyone can do this, but the IRC is a terrible example of grumpy old men who don't want to help anyone, just natter between themselves.

My only issue with google groups is I feel if I don't ask the 'right'
question, I get ignored. I know I'm a newbie and probably ask 'stupid'
questions, but it can still be frustrating! Maybe I should sign into
IRC.
