I remember seeing a load of these back in the day and people would complain. Some people need legit help and if possible id like to make a thread or a club (assuming mods are ok with it) to help people in need with this. We have a load of brilliant minds here and id hate to see it go to waste.

What do you think?

Well when you put it that way... it actually is a pretty cool idea.

Thanks to you and the guy below you as well this may become a reality. Everyone keep posting your opinions we can make this happen! For now I wonder if it would get locked though.

It actually is a good idea, but I don't see many others than difficult mathematical programs.

This seems like a pretty good idea...my friend currently gets hw help on yahoo answers and it may take a over a day to get a response...which doesn't help.
Having a homework forum could be a great tool and maybe even attract new members

That's a great idea. Like, in the clubs and crews, a thread called "Homework help" would be great. If organized correctly and approved by mods it could be done. That way when somebody makes another homework thread somebody on here could redirect them to a place where they can actually get help on their homework. There are sites that walk you through Algebra and Chemistry as well as other subjects, so those could be of use in an official Homework help club as a resource.

Good idea!

There would also need to be rules such as only offering guidance as opposed to, for example, completing maths problems

I think plenty enough would want to help I cant be the only regular here and you guys are willing to help too right? Sounds fair enough as long as we do our share.

I could help, as long as it involves economics.

There has been numerous attempts at this in the past - as one could imagine, most threads of this kind have been locked. One however that is still open can be found here.

I'd be willing to try and help out with this.

I think it should be a club format with strict rules, for example only guidance on being a student or helping someone understand specific topics of subjects, not answering set questions or problems (unless you're simply showing them HOW to answer it, not what the answer is).

This could work, and there's definitely a huge audience for it here on NG.

I think this could work if the thread is created and treated properly. Although I'm not good at mathematics, I can help with any other subject, like English, Biology, and Social Science(Especially Government). I hope the thread would last.

we would need to make sure that we are not doing all of their homework.. but a.. if we did this and made it a regular occurrence that we help people out and it turns out that we are right in the answers and the work behind it and ... if we started to tell people about us that we help people out on homework.. then that could bring a lot of people to NG.. it would probably spike the population charts...
