MooTools forums does seem very elitist, and extremely unfriendly. It’s almost a barrier to entry, as people get mocked for asking simple questions (and even when the answer is “it’s in the docs” or “we need to see code” they instead mock those asking questions and the topic’s closed - forcing a lot of converts away).

An improvement would be a reassessment, a simple first time notice that “please look in the docs/google it before asking” - a lot of people don’t do it. A lot of people don’t know what they’re searching for, or even quite what the “real” question is. I understand that you don’t want to hold someone’s hand, but just because the main devs are on the site, doesn’t mean that other fans can’t assist the “dumb users” or “noobs” on the site.

I’m trying to branch back into jQuery - while still using mootools for the majority of my implementations, I recognize the need to be proficient in more than one framework when you work with clients who may all ready be utilizing existing frameworks, creating a barrier for those who focus on their “framework of choice.”
