Ask an expert sub forum

[LabChimp]

I would like to suggest adding an "ask an expert" sub forum, I saw it on another forum and it looks like a very good way to increase activity.

In this sub forum users with specific skills will open threads where they will discuss and help other members on the given subject; For example: "ask a programmer" thread where users could ask questions and coders could answer them.
Another example: "ask a Japanese" thread where a user from Japan could answer questions and talk about Japan and the Japanese language.
More examples: ask a: doctor, mathematician, chef, veterinarian, economist, engineer, cyclist, nutritionist, Chinese, Indian, American, British, Russian and so on.

PS. I think the right place for it is the help section.

Nice one you think to much and i like it. It would give ease to the new members as they are not so familiar with TI. Once again nice job

one quick question in the ask a language threads you are talking about (ask a Chinese, Japanese) etc. are these post to be in English?

For us a person from a certain nationality is an expert in his language and culture.
In short, yes, the discussion will be in English.

I consider this as asking for help at a certain specific subjects so it should be under the help section.

but the help section is all about trackers/ torrents so doctor, mathematician, chef, veterinarian, economist, engineer, cyclist will not be relevant
but i think the part about language will fit in help section

Uh no this is what "help" means:

Help

Help - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Coincidentally, most help requests are on said subjects but anyone can ask for any help they want in this section.

Also, I said in the first post, to add a sub forum, that means it will be under the help section; next to Non-English Help, Reported Posts and Site Tutorials.
