Dear Forum members,

this forum is there to help people with anything they ask here if possible!
I see a lot of members just replying nonsens... and other members reply with more nonsens after that!
So the people with the question in the first place has to scroll through a lot of bull before they find an answer!!

Is it a game? Who get's the most posts?

That's not the goal of this forum or am i wrong?

Think about this... <_<

Then again Rocktron, this isn&#39;t the most useful post on the forum.

Rocktron

Yes it is&#33;

I started on this forum with a question, and the first thing that i noticed was, a lot of reply&#39;s on (non)helping reply&#39;s&#33;
This is not a post to help me now.., but a post for Newbies and people that really need help&#33;

Well, there aren&#39;t really any words of wisdom to be gleaned from this thread. :lol:

Usually posts are often repeated (especially newbie posts from non FAQ readers), it gets boring to simply restate yourself...and so why not make it entertaining? ;)

The reason is this: by Magic Nakor
Usually posts are often repeated (especially newbie posts from non FAQ readers), it gets boring to simply restate yourself...and so why not make it entertaining?
Right now though, I&#39;m helping newbies. I&#39;m trying to get away from my post-whoring :P But when I first started out, I was dedicated in becoming a God and seriously helped anyway I could. But after I became a God, I got side-tracked. Now that there&#39;s a possibility of becoming a Post-Whore (legally/literally lol), I&#39;m up and helping again :D

Don&#39;t help? We still try to answer questions, newbie questions usually can be answered in the FAQ. This forum is suppose to be fun, but not too fun that it turns into spam or ruin topics, like that food incident. ;)

Hey, everyone has a diffrent opinion on life you know. :P You&#39;ll see some members still help people out, and it&#39;s not always filled with junk.

@Shinigami, it doesn&#39;t make a diffrence anyways. :P :lol:

There are a lot of post which make no sense. Some people just post without reading it over. I know i do. :P A lot of questions could be answered if people would take the time to read the forums, or oh no... look for an answer online. The only way people are gonna learn anything about anything is by figuring it out. You can&#39;t do that if you don&#39;t sit and figure it out for yourself half the time. I see it all the time and it pisses me off.

i could do without the :) kind of replies. or lol for a reply. If i&#39;m looking at a forum, i don&#39;t care if someone else finds that funny. Just laugh to yourself :D I think that im ruined it, people always feel like they have to say something in return.

If everyone only had to try and answer questions, and you did&#39;nt no the answer you would never post

;) No it is not about who gets the most post.But most of the time the threads turn into debates of that topic.

And no it is not the goal of this forum...the goal of this forum is to make it a bigger and better community.....not only for filesharing but for things in life as well. :D

The goal?? no idea. filesharing maybe&#33;&#33; :rolleyes: :D and FUN&#33;&#33;


i help when i can, and when i feel up to it. if i ever read the topic. many people should write better topic titles&#33;&#33; the title &#39;help&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#39; or &#39;???&#39; won&#39;t get my attention&#33;

I think everybody has been right so far, the forum is about building a community, but that community has it&#39;s basis on supporting the kazaalite and k++ products, helping to propogate verified files on the fasttrack network(when the verifieds were up), helping with the continuation and developement of the aforementioned products and its add-on tools, and bettering the p2p filesharing experience for everybody.

This is what made this forum, along with the personalities of the people that help to accomplish this. You can&#39;t deny one without undermining the other. I think everyone should try to remember this. Also when considering what this community is, one should consider not only the core members, but those that come only to ask a few questions, the lurkers, guests, n00bs, and everything in between.

I first joined this forum many months after just coming in as a guest and just reading. I joined because I enjoyed how you could get help, but also have a little fun.
As a mechanic, I read an article in the paper called "click & clack". They are two brothers who answer question for people having problems with their car. They are very humorus, and go off topic every other line, but in the end, the problem is diagnosed. This forum was alot like that when I first joined, and part of what made it special.
Yes, we have had some things get a little out of hand, but it really hasn&#39;t been all that bad. The Mods do a great job at keeping it pretty well controlled.
Lets all start to appreciate everyones personality, and not just our own. I hate to see all this bickering, and it is sad compared to how this forum was when I joined. This should be a place to enjoy ourselves, as well as a place to learn

Hi Guy&#39;s&#33;

This topic took some time to sink in..., but i like all the reply&#39;s on this one&#33;
I just did it to wake up some people, and those people that i was expecting to reply on this one.., Uhmm. didn&#39;t&#33; :rolleyes:
I&#39;m happy to see that there are no real agressive reply&#39;s&#33;&#33;

There is hope for human kind.., hehehehehee&#33; :D

I really liked this reply from RPerry....:

;) Ok...it is serious and important to me too...since all the people think I do shit on purpose.Will post what I posted in the other thread.That is how important my post was about this matter.<_<
____________________________________________________________________________________

;) Most of the time the threads turn into debates of that topic around here,we are not spaming...we are debateing.Alot of people do not understand that...no matter where the topic leads too everybody thinks it is spam or that people are doing it to run up their post total.


;) When a person really needs help with something around here,9 times out of 10 they will get it.They will get PMed by somebody with the answer or from the thread.If they did not get their answer they will post it again later on or bump that thread back to the top.


;) We have asked for more rooms I do not know how many times,people are always posting about Movies and Music...which is the reason some of us come here.


I am in the middle of doing a petition online to get our voice heard from the Administrators and MODs on this board.With more rooms and sections the MODs will not have to move threads all over the place.


;) The spamers(me and a few others) are the people that love this place more then the rest.You think we are makeing the threads go off topic on purpose?We read the thread and then we go with it,it is hard for some of us.....but we try.


Them smilies are an expression of how that person feels.....another sticky I think should be explained to the NOOBS.....them smilies can go along way to show how you feel about somebodys statement.


The people are trying to work with the MODs on all of this.Since the verified rooms have gone this place has turned into a wreck.There is only a few rooms now...I do not see why we can not have rooms about Movies,Games and Music without the verifieds for the time being.It is what the verifieds were also about...them discussions.


The lounge is nice,its where I have made most of my post.....but it is also a party room...where anything goes and should be explained upon entering that room.You post a thread in the lounge and don&#39;t be surprised if it goes haywire.


I love this place,can not really explain it brother.Have never really felt that way about something online...have been to other forums/boards...but none like this.
It reminds me of the Cheers song....."Where everybody knows your name".Maybe it is a bar/pub to me in the 21st century.I still love the local bars don&#39;t get me wrong but sometimes it feels the same to me around here. :)


I could go on and on about what I think should be done and how I feel about being called a spamer and what not...but I will not.I have other threads to go read...other statements to be made.

Ummm, this topic invites and entices us to respond nonsenesically. But though, there is a limit as to what constitutes a valid post or what you call "spam".........how many new questions posted by p2p virgins are NOT answered in the FAQ? I&#39;ve seen many questions posted in the forums which could easily have been answered there. Or if not in the FAQ, then in the &#39;problems&#39; section. I do know what you&#39;re saying, but I also saw it expressed that some *not to put words into mouths here* are tired of seeing the same questions pop up over and over again and which have already been answered........well, one can direct the person to the location of the answer they seek, and then as is human nature, we all have this urge to say.....while I&#39;m here..........may as well.......

And no, I&#39;m not posting just to run up a count, I have a phobia about little gold stars. I&#39;m afraid my mother would put it on the fridge. j/k But I too digress, and so, shall bid you adieu.

I have read some of the help you have offered to people. Frankly they would be better served by sarcasm. Do you keep a record of the PC&#39;s you destroy with your quasi-technical nonsense.

I agree with the sentiment of helping people. However only if they have tried helping themselves first. If something is obvious, or is contained in the FAQ, or can be found by a simple search on something like

www.google.com

or is within the helpfile of the program they are using and they simply cannot be arsed sorting it out for themselves, then stuff them. I wouldn&#39;t do it in the real world and I won&#39;t do it here.

This is not some sort of online help service for the hard of thinking. If they can&#39;t be bothered to get up to speed, by doing a search in the forum. then on their own head be it.

Oh and by the way, there&#39;s a saying in my line of work for people like you.

"I would rather run a man light"

RPerry, I don&#39;t know if you can get them on radio, but last Saturday, they had one of the funniest "off topic rambles" I&#39;ve ever heard. I&#39;ll try to condense it, but basically, it was a day in the life of a dog contrasted with a day in the life of a cat. The dog starts off in the AM with "OH BOY&#33; Dogfood, my favorite, OH BOY, OH BOY, OH BOY&#33; It then proceeds through the day with much of the same - OH BOY&#33; the kids, the Frisbie, etc. The cat starts of with "My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre offerings." And goes on from there. If you&#39;d like to read the whole thing, you can read it here: http://cartalk.cars.com/Mail/Haus/2003/02.15.html. I think you can dig up the audio archive for Feb. 15 at Cars.com. It&#39;s funnier listening to it.

You won&#39;t believe this but it&#39;s true. I was just going to mention your name elsewhere, in relation to stream of consciousness conversations. Specifically our talks re jurisdictions, legal systems, Constitution SP1 etc.

That was in simpler times. Some people joined in. Some people ignored us. No-one quoted rules. Everone was happy.

Ah happy days. Nice to hear from you again.

I could not read any further after reading FC&#39;s post here, without stopping and making a few comments. So I apologize for posts in between FC&#39;s quoted here and mine, have not read them yet.

I have to say I totally agree with everything he stated and if you knew us both when he first joined, well you would consider this agreement between us two as very special. I think the same things he does about this forum, hell I would even go so far as to personally state that this forum is different than all of the rest and one of the biggest reasons why is the fact that all of the topics can turn 180 degrees at any time, although I feel for the most part that a lot of good is done here and in order to have good you must have bad.

I have nothing against Rocktron, can&#39;t even remember seeing a post by him before this one, but he must be a person who thinks you can have light without dark. good without evil or white without black. In order for you to even perceive a positive or negative thought on any subject you must first have an attribute type of recognition. That is to say, you must have the differences in order to point out the similarities, or at least recognize they must exist.

I am interested in this type of topic, not sure what may have sparked it, I can say there were strayed topics before I joined and knowing this place as I do there will be strayed topics after I leave (death, bancruptcy, etc). You ain&#39;t making me leave as long as I am breathing and can afford the internet.

I can also atest to the fact I have never once posted to post, I post when the need strikes (ie this topic), when I can help or when someone asks something I can (or at least think I can) help with.

As for those people who reply with a smiley, so be it, they joined they have the right. I mean I still have issues with people who complain about scrolling, if you do not like scrolling, don&#39;t scroll, you may miss a lot of interesting things on the interbet, however no one is forcing you to scroll, so stop complaining, please&#33;

For GODS sake, if scrolling or having to read through several smiley posts to get to something with a little more meat is the biggest worry you have, you are blessed and shoudl count your lucky stars ar at least take note and move on.

Hopefully no one or group was offended by a single thing I said, and to make a point about smilies, you need then soemtime, shoot, back when I was relatively new around here no one knew whether or not I was joking, so I started having to add those to my posts to insure they knew I was being coy or just plain trying to get a laugh.

Have fun while your here and if you can learn something or teach something along the way, the better.

God bless us all and hope to get sometype of verifieds section back or I may be spending more and more time elsewhere and I do not like being elsewhere, this place rocks compared to the rest of the forums I have visited recently. 2 of our large strings in the verified section pretty much shamed the whole site I was just on, talk about lame.

Well I have had my say to this point, remember I still have a few more posts to read in this string so you cannot count on me being done here. :)

What a great speech ShareDaddy, but it took me 5 minutes to read it all. :P Rocktron, lighten up, it&#39;s the nature of this forum, although I can see the forum really being limited now since I first saw it. I never seen these kinds of complaints since I joined. Other forums are even harder on their rules than this one, which makes them seem dull and no one ever responds to posts as much as here.

Wise words sharedaddy and you make a number of VERY valid points.
This place is so boring now and im spending more time away from here too.The verified section going has played a big part in this place going down the pan.Its so crap reading the same questions from n00bs and as soon as someone with a personality and something to say starts saying having a laugh,in step the little hitlers to censor&#33;&#33;This place just aint the same.....

yes was started in another section, we take this serious, as i hope i showed you on how you want your mod thing merging isn&#39;t always a good option. :D So this ones important and a valid question to. B)
;) Ok...it is serious and important to me too...since all the people think I do shit on purpose.Will post what I posted in the other thread.That is how important my post was about this matter.<_<
____________________________________________________________________________________

;) Most of the time the threads turn into debates of that topic around here,we are not spaming...we are debateing.Alot of people do not understand that...no matter where the topic leads too everybody thinks it is spam or that people are doing it to run up their post total.


;) When a person really needs help with something around here,9 times out of 10 they will get it.They will get PMed by somebody with the answer or from the thread.If they did not get their answer they will post it again later on or bump that thread back to the top.


;) We have asked for more rooms I do not know how many times,people are always posting about Movies and Music...which is the reason some of us come here.


I am in the middle of doing a petition online to get our voice heard from the Administrators and MODs on this board.With more rooms and sections the MODs will not have to move threads all over the place.


;) The spamers(me and a few others) are the people that love this place more then the rest.You think we are makeing the threads go off topic on purpose?We read the thread and then we go with it,it is hard for some of us.....but we try.


Them smilies are an expression of how that person feels.....another sticky I think should be explained to the NOOBS.....them smilies can go along way to show how you feel about somebodys statement.


The people are trying to work with the MODs on all of this.Since the verified rooms have gone this place has turned into a wreck.There is only a few rooms now...I do not see why we can not have rooms about Movies,Games and Music without the verifieds for the time being.It is what the verifieds were also about...them discussions.


The lounge is nice,its where I have made most of my post.....but it is also a party room...where anything goes and should be explained upon entering that room.You post a thread in the lounge and don&#39;t be surprised if it goes haywire.


I love this place,can not really explain it brother.Have never really felt that way about something online...have been to other forums/boards...but none like this.
It reminds me of the Cheers song....."Where everybody knows your name".Maybe it is a bar/pub to me in the 21st century.I still love the local bars don&#39;t get me wrong but sometimes it feels the same to me around here. :)


I could go on and on about what I think should be done and how I feel about being called a spamer and what not...but I will not.I have other threads to go read...other statements to be made.

___________________________________________________________________________________

*EDIT* They can call it spam if they want.....off-topic if they choose.Going to anyways. :rolleyes:
I could not read any further after reading FC&#39;s post here, without stopping and making a few comments. So I apologize for posts in between FC&#39;s quoted here and mine, have not read them yet.

I have to say I totally agree with everything he stated and if you knew us both when he first joined, well you would consider this agreement between us two as very special. I think the same things he does about this forum, hell I would even go so far as to personally state that this forum is different than all of the rest and one of the biggest reasons why is the fact that all of the topics can turn 180 degrees at any time, although I feel for the most part that a lot of good is done here and in order to have good you must have bad.

I have nothing against Rocktron, can&#39;t even remember seeing a post by him before this one, but he must be a person who thinks you can have light without dark. good without evil or white without black. In order for you to even perceive a positive or negative thought on any subject you must first have an attribute type of recognition. That is to say, you must have the differences in order to point out the similarities, or at least recognize they must exist.

I am interested in this type of topic, not sure what may have sparked it, I can say there were strayed topics before I joined and knowing this place as I do there will be strayed topics after I leave (death, bancruptcy, etc). You ain&#39;t making me leave as long as I am breathing and can afford the internet.

I can also atest to the fact I have never once posted to post, I post when the need strikes (ie this topic), when I can help or when someone asks something I can (or at least think I can) help with.

As for those people who reply with a smiley, so be it, they joined they have the right. I mean I still have issues with people who complain about scrolling, if you do not like scrolling, don&#39;t scroll, you may miss a lot of interesting things on the interbet, however no one is forcing you to scroll, so stop complaining, please&#33;

For GODS sake, if scrolling or having to read through several smiley posts to get to something with a little more meat is the biggest worry you have, you are blessed and shoudl count your lucky stars ar at least take note and move on.

Hopefully no one or group was offended by a single thing I said, and to make a point about smilies, you need then soemtime, shoot, back when I was relatively new around here no one knew whether or not I was joking, so I started having to add those to my posts to insure they knew I was being coy or just plain trying to get a laugh.

Have fun while your here and if you can learn something or teach something along the way, the better.

God bless us all and hope to get sometype of verifieds section back or I may be spending more and more time elsewhere and I do not like being elsewhere, this place rocks compared to the rest of the forums I have visited recently. 2 of our large strings in the verified section pretty much shamed the whole site I was just on, talk about lame.

Well I have had my say to this point, remember I still have a few more posts to read in this string so you cannot count on me being done here. :) [/b][/quote]

I have read some of the help you have offered to people. Frankly they would be better served by sarcasm. Do you keep a record of the PC&#39;s you destroy with your quasi-technical nonsense.

I agree with the sentiment of helping people. However only if they have tried helping themselves first. If something is obvious, or is contained in the FAQ, or can be found by a simple search on something like

www.google.com

or is within the helpfile of the program they are using and they simply cannot be arsed sorting it out for themselves, then stuff them. I wouldn&#39;t do it in the real world and I won&#39;t do it here.

This is not some sort of online help service for the hard of thinking. If they can&#39;t be bothered to get up to speed, by doing a search in the forum. then on their own head be it.

Oh and by the way, there&#39;s a saying in my line of work for people like you.

"I would rather run a man light"

Cheers

JimF

PS can anyone guess I am sick of people pontificating.
JimF, we have had our share of interesting back and forth, however I need to say this, so if it makes you need to have another go with me so be it, just let me know where and when.

As far as pontification, each and every one of us, especially you have come across in that manner. Let me explain my point (a little pontification of my own, shall we say).

I was asked to take a class years ago when I joined the management ranks within my company. In this class we were taught to consider using less "Elitist" language when speaking with others. That is to say we were given little pamphlets that contained all of the words we should try and avoid and less demeaning, friendlier alternatives to use in their place.

You seem to use quite a few of those "elitist" words from the pamphlet we were given. I have caught myself doing the same thing, but I have never condemned someone else for doing the same exact thing that I was doing, unless I was intoxicated or possibly coming to after a head injury.

But with that said it is still rather interesting to see your posts, filled with correct grammar and punctuation and those very large words intertwined with other, more real-life or at least down to earth like posts. That all leads back to my "dark without light" comment, without your posts we would have nothing with which to judge the everyday posts and I thank you for that. :)

Hello again Big Eyeball

I am given to understand that we are not entitled to express our opinion. At least not without offending those and such as those.

It would appear that new members opinions carry a greater weight. i.e. "We should stick to the rules".

Where I come from the rules as interpreted in the context of the discussions which made them. They are not just rules.

It&#39;s a constitutional thing. One has to interpret the written word within it&#39;s historical context.

If you want to discuss it in a meaningfull way talk to Tide. He actually understands the concept of common law.

There you go again, holier than though.

Stupid, where was that word, oh I forgot you are far superior and read that into it with your unsurmountable wit. Talking down to people, as you do is just wrong, no matter who you think you are or who you think they are. Get over it JIMF, you are a twit with a dictionary, very nice.

_______________________________________________________________________________________......... and


(end of QUOTE) Bla bla bla.., <_<

Huh ... RIGHT&#33;

Tell me what i&#39;m doing wrong Jimf?
Give me any reason? Give me a name of anybody that screwed up his pc because of my answers?
I try man.., i really do, maybe not in the words that you do but try speaking in Dutch for a change.
It is hard to explaine the solution to anyone in English for someone that doesn&#39;t speak the language for himself&#33;

So maybe i&#39;m not clear... who know&#39;s?
I am from the MS DOS period... Windows wasn&#39;t even born yet.
And if anybody has a computer problem, usualy i can fix it... And yes. yes.. maybe i don&#39;t know anything about Firewalls or some stuff like that.., okay okay.. maybe that is the reason i sometimes give a solution that sounds stupid?
But hey.. i don&#39;t use those programs and for a very good reason&#33;
The problems that most of these people have inhere, i never had&#33; And i&#39;m using an old pc pIII 800MHZ with Win ME&#33;No Firewall or (NORTON) virusscan or stuff like that... my PC runs like hell man&#33; All the time&#33; And if i have a problem.... i know what it is..
and yeppie i rather reinstall my pc... mostley the best solution&#33;

Why are most of the people scared about that? I don&#39;t know? Yeah sure it takes time.., SO WHAT?
But i can tell you this, it run like a charm after that&#33;&#33;&#33; :rolleyes:

I hate this JimF i really do, i don&#39;t want to be an asshole.. If i am shit man... i didn&#39;t want to&#33;? Okay?
I just want to help and i don&#39;t need anybody the rub it into my face on a public Forum&#33;
If i did something that is really really bad tell my in person.. but don&#39;t offend me in public with fancy words.., that&#39;s
(Kinderachtig as we say in the Netherlands)

Phew.. this was a very long story.. <_<

But i still love to help.., and if i suck at it tell me...&#33;&#33;&#33;
