I think PGD has got itself into a vicious circle. There are two things

1. Because there are only a handful of people posting it means that for an outsider it looks intimidating. So people don't bother posting. It makes the forum come across a bit elitist.

2. Following on from it being a bit elitist is that the interests in the forum of the hardcore posters tend to be a bit far removed from what the average punter is up to. I would hazard a guess that the majority of people programming in pascal are in fact using Delphi and that most are working with Windows and using easier to use wrappers like DelphiX, Asphyre and Omega etc. So they get here and people are going on about OpenGL, lazarus, free pascal and linux. I believe that puts off lots of prospective people. I have seen the following appear quite often as a reply to a newbie posting: "Great demo when are you porting it to Lazarus, linux or whatever?"

Anyway that is my rant. I would be interested to hear what people have to say...

BTW no offense intended
