Things have been really unbearable here lately.
On both sides on the fence. The n00b's have an excuse but what is our excuse?

Utter and complete frustration, maybe? The helpless feeling of watching the little cyber-world you know and love crumble and descend into chaos before your very eyes, and not because people can't do any better, but rather are too lazy to do any better?

Oh, and BTW... the n00bs do not have an excuse. There is zero excuse for not at least doing basic due dilligence before you post. And especially in the case of that guy - it's not like he had to search for some far flung thread; rather, like I said in that thread:
Seriously?! How about the one that is permanently ON TOP OF THE BOARD, in BOLD LETTERS, highlighted with AN ORANGE BACKGROUND, that says "Need help finding a ticket? Post here!"??!!
There is absolutely no valid reason for a n00b not to have seen that thread, and instead start his own.

Never mind all the rest of the crappy grammar and spelling - this guy can't even get Dan's name (and possibly his own name as well) spelled right. Sheesh... how hard is it to spell a one-syllable name anyway, and one which is written all over the site, no less??!!

IMHO this is what is driving most of these threads about n00b’s. You have a valid point and I fully understand your frustration. Crumble and chaos is a little strong but it is changing from what you have been enjoying in the past. Unfortunately it will get worse as the forum gets bigger. There is an answer but it defeats the purpose of a public forum.

You don't get it... I don't have a whole lot of hobbies. I don't play ball, I follow very little of professional sports, etc. The forums are one of my hobbies, perhaps even my main hobby. For me, watching this place fall apart and become unusable is devastating. Because to me, it's not "just another blog/forum on my list"; this is where I come to chill. This is my "home" online. And I feel like that sanctuary is being stolen away from me by a bunch of vagabonds who have no concern for order, similar to how residents of an upscale neighborhood might feel if a bunch of vandals went around spraying graffiti on everything.

I realize I am waxing a bit way too profound here, but it is after 1 AM here in Israel, so please cut me some slack. :P But I hope I am at least able to convey to you some sense of why it bothers me so much...

@MrsZev: you’d have a better chance if you contacted your district attorney regarding this bait-and-switch. Bait-and-switch is not just illegal, in many places it’s a crime.

It's not about the quantity of your posts.  It's about the quality.

Basically means that the filters will have to clock this site.
Not so much speechless, as Dan might want to comply.
