How bout giving people the notice ahead of time , somewhere around a couple of days before doing it and not 15 mins before ur "lesson" starts , who the hell cheks this board that often ? I think the idea of having lessons of gamestudio given by GameStudio vets is a great way to share the knowledge we've gained through our game development journeys , we should make this a regular and scheduled thing , where once a week we all get together in an irc channel and kick back and talk and learn on a particular subject , I really like this idea , I'll be sure to stop by tuesday and see how it goes.
