I don't think it would be of big use. People can already post parts of their source code when they have a coding problem, and also one has to consider that a source code snippet, when taken out of context, is just meaningless ; i.e. before a code snippet can be understood easily and thus usable, the coder "introduced" its idea long before in the thread.

Also, not two people code their bots/mods/whichever app in the same way, and a good class implementation for someone will look like a complete mystery to another, and vice versa. If one wanted to share bits of code in a "copy and paste" fashion, this would only be appliable to the few podbot clones we have here (since they don't differ greatly). And even then, new users would have trouble tying the different parts altogether so that their copy and paste would produce actually compilable code.

What I'm personally doing, and what I've always been doing if you remember the old days at botman's, is that anytime I find something interesting or cool, I create a new thread in the relevant forum and I introduce the idea there, with a bit of sample code - usually from my own implementation, but simplified so that others can hopefully understand what I'm doing.

Promoting that sort of cooperation is what should be aimed at, but I'm not sure creating a forum specially dedicated to source code samples, all taken out of context, would be a good idea.
