Read the posts by the OP, and a few others, LOL. On topic: Other than games, does Lua even have a good use for it?

| Lua is a fast, lightweight embedded scripting language. |

I chuckled a little at the title of this post. It pretty much sums this forum up:
"I hate scripting discussion, but I like the forum devoted to scripting discussion" |

Yeah I didn't do a good job with the title, what I meant was "I'm so glad there's a forum with people with an intelligence above RT..."

"Yeah I didn't do a good job with the title, what I meant was "I'm so glad there's a forum with people with an intelligence above RT...""
There is no reason to make a post saying that though. It doesn't contribute to the forum.
Frankly, it seems that you guys are afraid of RTers coming here and crashing your "intelligence party". However, it's illogical to believe that because if people posted threads that were legitimate intelligent discussions, it wouldn't matter. However, with threads like this, there is little intelligence in the replies.
I'm not entirely sure that you're right, either. Yeah, you guys talk about scripting on occasion, but the average thread here is just like the average thread anywhere else. Anyone could reply. Sure, there are people who don't know a thing about how their computer works on the software level posting in other forums, but that's also not average. I mean, look at how many responses are either: 1) Redirecting someone who posts here somewhere else. 2) Some sort of chain of posts that are all either identical or follow a pattern. 3) Talking about how bad everyone else is/how good this forum is. I don't see much room for intelligence in such posts (although with #1, if you went ahead and helped the person, it makes you look smart). Really, this forum lacks a topic, both in practice (because you guys don't have discussions on scripting) and in design. What are we supposed to discuss here? Few people are going to have problems with open-ended solutions (e.g. figuring out a good space partitioning). There are only two types of posts that truly belong in this forum: 1) Discussions about new features (but these should be sparse since there aren't very many that actually change anything. Data persistence might be about it, and it's not very thought provoking) 2) Posts about techniques (that is, informational posts by the members of our community who know what they're doing. The replies would mostly be questions, corrections, etc.. However, since we don't encounter many hard problems here...)
If I had to guess what the most intelligent forum (factoring in relevance to the topic) was, I'd go for either Suggestions & Ideas (because it's very much on topic, and requires logic & evidence to sound smart; many people who frequent it sound quite smart) or Scripting Helpers (because people actually provide evidence that they can script). |

"tl;dr"
Ironic, because it was about how, if this forum IS intelligent, it's not shown very well. |
