I don't know if people have seen these sites around (for programming challenges and puzzles) that require you to give every last detail of your life, like your exact home address and what you do for a living, and if I'm honest, I'm not comfortable with that.

So what do people think of a forum for programming challenges, basically, there'll be different language sections with different puzzles in them, and then people can just post their solutions to the puzzles in the thread, just a bit of fun, really :) If enough people are up for it, I'll create one. :)

They tend to be fun. I like Project Euler because it doesn't need much information, if you want to have bragging rights. Depending on how much time I have, I could even participate in challenges :)

Yeah, Project Euler is good. :) Well, I went ahead and created one anyways, It can be found here: Free forum : Programming Puzzles

It's only got two challenges, but I guess it's open to more.

I'd like to see some challenges also. Somebody here has tried before, but they stopped unfortunately.

I know, I thought that too. After all, this forum (as in, CodeCall) already has some traffic, and making a new website would be harder not only to start up, but also to get traffic and content.
