We wanted to give you access to more control of what you see. Mostly, though, we wanted to provide you with content that extended your ability to make the greatest games and applications you can, regardless of the language you prefer to use.

yep!! I'm not making it up check it out right here

I know Krylar agrees with the decision to go to the new CodersWorkshop approach so I will say no more

Anybody who knew blitzcoder from the old days, bum onboard there now, WHILE YOU CAN

if you don't code in Blitz then http://www.codersworkshop.com/ is heaven sent for you, as it allows alternative languages, this is the whole reason that Blitzcoder is finishing

Blitzcoder is transforming to http://www.codersworkshop.com/ from what I can make out

anybody else on here know about this? or am I the only one who cares?

I know about this also, in fact I've made a few posts on the subject at Blitzcoder but I wouldn't say it's anything to worry about, some people at Blitzcoder are annoyed and won't even follow to Coders Workshop because they feel the diversity of the site will take away from the Blitz only experience, I'm not going either but that's just because I don't really like partaking in a ton of forums, the vast majority are following though and I for one wish them the best.

Hi all,

So far codersworkshop is turning out pretty cool. There is diversity, yes, though the site is primary Blitz-based right now, but since you can select to see only the topics and such you want to see it makes that diversity as limited or ranged as you so choose.

If anyone is interested in going into the more advanced languages areas to get the ball rolling, I'm sure nobody would mind

All the best,

-Krylar

I took a look around the site today, I still won't join as I don't really have anything useful to say, but for those who haven't been I think you should at least visit the layout is really, really good, stylish,(although I think there were a few complaints even about that for some peculiar reason), a lot of the old Blitzcoders have went over (even the highly skeptical Draconus) and the vibes seem good if not better on the new site, the showcase has been taken over as well and the whole thing is looking ready to stay in for the long haul, so everybody take a look and if you were never a member then maybe even consider joining, the other language threads seem to be picking up pace as well (I think).

Good luck to everyone already over there.
