Methinks the solution here is for a administrator to tell people where to post their questions about Newton.

You have to understand that people who use 3DGS + Newton would like to get their questions answered just as much as the next guy, thus, telling them to place their questions in a forum such as General Tools is not really fair to them, because the questions would seldomly get answered, because no one reads it often.

Anyway, I don't believe any people who don't own 3DGS are posting questions about Netwon here. Do you see what I mean? In some cases, people might have quit using 3DGS if it wasn't for Newton, so I don't see Newton as a real competitor to 3DGS, it's actually a complimentary tool and may actually help 3DGS sales to some degree.

An adminstator just needs to let Newton users know where to post their questions in a place they will get answered. Or if the adminstrators feel that this is a legimate place to ask Newton question, state it in the Physics rules. I don't however believe enough people use Newton to warrant a Newton specific Forum.

I am tired of reading, "Don't place Newton here" without a workable solution being offered. After all, if you were new to 3DGS, was working with Newton, looked at the list of forum titles, and had a question on Newton Physics, and saw a forum called Physics, I would imagine that would be the first place you would think to ask the question.

So please some adminstrator, resolve this problem once and for all.
