yay stupid meshugener wahooo!
i'm meshuga, but not stupid. And when I want to point out a problem in this forum, try to correct it, +1 for ppl who agree with me and understand my point, i don't mean to rack up posts, since I have no good feeling to see on my profile how much time I kill here. (but maybe its your good feeling? Bunch fun, kid!)
I don't think it is a problem in the forums. What you are asking for is more of a wiki of information. Which I agree there should be a better wiki so someone doesn't have to read the whole forums to find his answer (especially if its a FAQ.) If you want to really help contribute you can feel free to compile information you read and form wiki pages. Or pay one of the senior forum members to do it for you. But to expect someone to basically start a new whole forums just because your to lazy to read through the one that already exists is a bit silly and kind of counter-intuitive to what a forum is. A proper wiki would be much more beneficial to everyone.
This forum is not that big. To see so many “search” or “posted already” comments is ridicules.
i think thats part of the problem. it's not that big and yet still every third post is someone asking one a few questions again. i think most people started off with the mentality that the "search" comments were pointless and a waste of time but after being on here for a little while got fed up with seeing the same q's over and over and over again. The solution would be as said above to make a wiki with the faq's and this has been suggested a few times but as of yet no one has been willing to create one
I hear what you are saying. I watched FT grow from the beginning. I have been a long standing member of FWF and CB. There is no way to stop someone from posting without searching. The larger the forum the more this is going to happen and the funny part is you will see less of the stupid “search” comments.
correct. now over there if you try asking a newbie q you'll usually either get completely ignored or you'll get some sarcastic remarks. how is that any better?
Why would someone care how many posts he has? Tis the quality of the posts that makes a difference, not the quantity.
To expect someone to do a search every time before they ask a question is both insane and stupid.
Are there any members here that do a search first for every question they ask?
I make a great effort to. (i'm not saying yes just in case you go searching for a question that I doubled just to dis me) and usually I do search. It only makes sense that way
You don't need to defend yourself to him. It's rather apparent lazy people love company.The fact is, if people would search before they posted even only 50% of the time, this forum would be a significantly less cluttered.
