True, but it's exactly those kind of forums that end up losing members over time, and eventually dying.

When your forums are full of pompous pricks new people don't tend to join up in record numbers for some reason.

I'd also push the very simple concept of not clicking threads that you don't want to read, n00bs generally aren't slyly titleing posts deceptively or anything like that, if you don't want to read the nine millionth "Favourite Track of the Year" post, simply don't go into it, and save yourself some stress, and the forum another pointless flame.

There're better ways of upping your post count than by attacking new members who don't know any better...

a-aplz you sad sack of shit...

the case is more that since AG went down these questions get asked so much it clogs up the forums with pointless crap, imagine lots of peopel asking yo uthe same question over and over again when theres a signpost with the information on they need on the other side of the room...

i aint stirring, i just think its shit that noobs get treated like shit for being uneducated or unfamiliar with the boards features.

I think everythings been sed that needs to be sed, Cyberwoo came up with the best idea.

put up a notice of sum sort for noobs to tell them to use the search button or whatever, elitists, dont be so mean to the noobs.

it dosnt effect me cos i dont get flamed, i just think its common courtesy to be nice to people unless they are being dickheads,

as far as im concerned, this thread is finished, just take notice of whats been said, thats all, i didnt want this to be an argument......

peace

there is a newbie/faq forum which they seriously should use because they are less likely to get flamed there for being n00b2, but some ppl just wanna have a go to bump up their own post count, and generally whatever the first few replies to a thread are, the rest will follow suit, sad really.

Originally posted by Anniewayz I think all you "elitists" should get off your high horse. I spent 3 months lurking in the damn forum before I actually signed up to contribute, for fear of getting flamed.

Ditto. I don't think they should be flamed for asking something relatively innocent, but they should definitely be warned bfore they sign up. Also I don't think it's nice to totally rip the fuck out of someone on their first post, but if it's just pokin' a bit of fun, nothing offensive (like JPloveparade sed) then what's the harm in that? For me half the fun of the forums is to talk about music and half of it is about having a laugh. Totally agree with cyberwoo too. cheers.

i totally agree with that, if u do not have anything worth while to contribute, then just don't bother.

I hate reading thru pages of abuse and i hate even more to have to sift thru those threads and delete the crap.
i remember one thread not so long ago that sprung up while i was moving.
when i got back online it was about 10 pages long, when i had been thru it and deleted all the lame stupid abuse out of it it was 3 pages shorter . . .
