If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

How does newbies come to know about CodeProject? When they are stuck or need help, seems they post it at SO or CP.
Possibly Word-of-mouth OR Google OR ???. If Google what keywords?

When you're in Visual Studio and press Ctrl+C you are automatically taken to CP's Q&A.
It's a new feature for students and the mentally challenged!

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

How did you find it?

- Q&A was not there when I started. (forums were though)
- It was not Q&A help that lead me here.

Hmm, I didn't mention Q&A. However, I'm guessing you had a coding issue/question that you googled, and probably found a link to an article or forum post, just like me and a lot of others I'd imagine. Though I could be completely wrong .

Again true and possibly for most of us. But, is that true for most of the newbies too?

That's how I found it years ago.

Bit of both.
But yes, I do refer to this site often. And they google it. Since Undu down, SO is the only real alternative. SO ansers but lacks articles. (And I loved Undu).
Here, you download and try. SO doesn't have that; thus, as far as I can see, nothing that is better than CodeProject. Nothing else I could recommend. Google it, if you don't believe me.

Yeah, articles and details - CP is unique and best. But, this comes into picture only once someone is aware of it.

Totally believe you.

Top five for DuckDuckGo even, and at least top ten in Bing. Most people who have a question use a search engine; most of my coworkers already knew the site and had downloaded stuff before.
The site is named on my resume; if you never heard of it then I don't even want an invitation. If you over five years in the field and ignorant of CodeProject, then you're not a developer.

I am one of the few here who are an exception to the norm. You can see this by my user number. I was a member at a site that preceded this one. Chris sent out an e-mail and auto-registered several hundred (thousand?) people when this site was started and I was on the list. From what I have seen, Ravi B. is the only other person who is still active from that list. His user number is one less than mine.

That's new/different. Didn't knew something like this was done in earlier days. Thanks for sharing.

Yep,
I came over at the same time. I wasn't active on the forum at all for the first few years and lost access to my original account. In fact I think this was my third account on the site.

I used a different name at the old site and wrote a few articles for it under that one. When I got the e-mail about this site I signed up with this one and have been fortunate enough to not need another one.

Hmmm,
Were you a part of the crew that came from codeguru when Zafir Anjum sold off the domain name and site?
Btw I met with 4 or 5 codeproject.com members in real life at the Microsoft MVP summit. I think it was the 2014 or 2015 summit on the Microsoft Redmond campus. I met Nish Nishant, Peter O'Hanlon, Sacha Barber and a few others. Some of them were drinking the free alcohol so I doubt they even remember.

Yes, I was. I bet it was fun to meet those people.
I used to be in a mod team for a game and was able to meet up with a few of the team at an E3 (in LA) several years ago. It was a great time. A guy from Nvidia gave me a video card and that was pretty cool.
