Wait, does 4chan get it's name from Fotran?
I feel like asking this could either make me look like a total idiot or total genius.

I absolutely agree.
What is a beginner question and what is an advanced question is largely subjective and relative anyway.

I'm totally opposite. Make beginners feel welcomed and allow beginner questions.
Too often as a beginner you find a new subject you enjoy and so you go online to find communities with similar interests just to be hit in the face by a community that resents you, harshly criticises you and doesn't take into account that you may be a beginner and it totally de-motivates your interest in the subject. I don't want /v/programming to have a hand in making beginners abandoning the subject, there isn't enough people who can program in the world as it is. Sure make an FAQ for the routinely obvious and nooby questions, but some beginner questions I believe are valid.
Well, I've recently got into learning programming and I'm still on JavaScript.
I decided to make the decision not to move onto any other languages until I'm completely comfortable with JavaScript. In fact just today I bought JavaScript: The definitive guide (6th edition).
