How do you get comfortable with Dlang.org's Forum?

[Biocyberman]

We may need a survey to have a good overview about users opinions.

Speaking on behalf of myself, after additional inputs from many 
excellent and respectful users in this 'forum'. I can say that, on the 
scale of 1 (least geeky) to 10 (most geeky), I would put forum.dlang.org 
to the level 8 of geekiness required to use the forum. It may be natural 
for long-time users, but for newcomers, it is very challenging.

Mentioning 'challening', here is an excerpt from a fictional interview 
with the inventor of C++:

=====
Interviewer: I see, but what's the point?

Stroustrup: Well, one day, when I was sitting in my office, I thought of 
this little scheme, which would redress the balance a little. I thought 
'I wonder what would happen, if there were a language so complicated, so 
difficult to learn, that nobody would ever be able to swamp the market 
with programmers? Actually, I got some of the ideas from X10, you know, 
X windows. That was such a bitch of a graphics system, that it only just 
ran on those Sun 3/60 things. They had all the ingredients for what I 
wanted. A really ridiculously complex syntax, obscure functions, and 
pseudo-OO structure. Even now, nobody writes raw X-windows code. Motif 
is the only way to go if you want to retain your sanity.

Interviewer: You're kidding...?

I hope it is not offensive to bring up C++'s problems and relate them to 
D, but the point I am trying to make is *accessibility*. Provided that 
dlang community is not a the point of saturation, and still needs to 
grow, things need to be: Accessible (less geeky, less restrictions); 
Easy to learn and implement; Safe and Fast to program and to run. That 
would make a good acronym: SAFE safe-accessible-fast-easy, all go in 
parallel :)
