I'm not saying treat coders as if they're better people for knowing how to code, I'm saying give them some perks, show some more appreciation. Don't expect code to be written for free, don't expect more people to come and replace people who have left. If people feel like their contributions don't mean anything or don't make a difference than they will in fact leave.

There's so many members that seem to think they are entitled to custom code, 24/7 support for all their questions and problems and that everything should happen on their schedule. Maybe there's some misunderstanding with many members that think the coders here are employees or something?

And no where in my posts did I refer to sucking up to coders or trying to become their buddies, etc. As you said, I am here for the code, but I'm not ignorant, I know there's a person on the other end who has to write the code. I don't have to kiss up to them, but I should respect the work they've done, the time they've put in and the fact that they're willing to share it with me.

As far as the private forum thing, why is that such a big deal? Do we even have to know about it? Do you have a forum with some sort of staff section that only you have access to? Does that give you an elitist attitude? Maybe there's some things that coders should be able to discuss behind closed doors, like how to deal with disrespectful members, pointing out security problems in a hack or even reprimanding someone for an elitist attitude
We are all the same, just some of us already know how to code and some of us don't. The ones that don't will be filling the shoes of the ones that do when they move on. It's a cycle. No one is above reproach here as this is a sharing and learning site. Some coders have a hard time admitting that they didn't know squat when they started out. If you feed their egos as you are suggesting, then that makes it even easier for them to not remember. I agree they should be shown the respect and admiration for their ability to code. By overdoing it is not the answer, either. There are enough egos floating around here as it is without compounding the problem. I little humility can be had by all from time to time.
