Where have all the Desktop programmers gone?

I'm still looking for a community to join.
The problem isn't because there are a lack of coding communities on the web (Seriously every 5th stumble i come across is a community of php/mysql coders), it's that their aren't enough for desktop programmers.

Some do have little sections on there sites for desktop programmers to get together but generally you never get a reply or ya get one from a person that codes in another language.
It almost makes me want to learn PHP (oh no don't go there jordan then you will have to start all over again).

Well that was my out burst for the week, if you have a view on the subject just leave a comment.

It's just because of the online applications trend.
Desktop application programmers are still here, they're just not making a big fuss about it.

PHP wouldn't be too bad a route! It's certainly easier - in my eyes at least - than C++.

Web is popular nowadays for some reason. I'm still very much a desktop programmer when I'm working on personal projects.
Desktop programming communities exist, but usually they are a little less general and more focused on a specific aspect of programming (eg: game development, operating system development, whatever).
