Okay, I know we all get aggitated when a newbie posts a retorical question that has been asked a thousand times already, so to prevent the constant flaming of new members and us loosing numbers by driving people away, I post a suggestion.

1) Place a banner on the main page requesting anyone that has a question for the forum please use the search first

2)Make is so that after registering it routes you to the search page, that way it will be right there infront of them.

I dunno just my $.02 cents but it could help with all the arguments we have :D

Well, the problem is that people don't take the time to read. We have announcements, and STILL people don't take the two seconds to read them. Then, even after reading them, they still post anyways because they are ignorant and don't care. : ) Thats the problem really, theres nothing we can change on our end, because people don't learn until they get yelled at, and even then they tend not to learn anyways. : )

that's not necesarily true not all the new guys are like that. Most of the time I come here, I don't come to post I come to search for my info. The only time i post something is when i have a question i couldn't find or if i have anything useful to share.

And since you don't post stupid things, you probably don't get flamed either, eh? : ) He was talking about the guys who show up, make one post that there are three other open threads on the same page about the exact same thing, and then get mad because people yell at them. : )

A little harsh but fair. Why don't you make that a rule? If you ask dumb questions you get stabbed in the eye.

I've heard that upgrading to a Parker or a Waterman will make it work, but I just spent all my money on He-Man pogs and I'm kinda broke. Does anyone know how to fix this?

HELP!!!!


take the pen and shove in *** sideways have your lover cram it in further. How that is done you can use your imagination but I heard Dauntt will do it for free and is good at it too. I don't know from personal experience but my MOM does for some reason. Then pull pen out with 2 fingers and tickle the prostate while you are in there you might like it. Then last but not least pull the black thing off the end it is called a cap and then you should be able to use the pen

I try to answer and be nice, I usually only mind when theres two other open posts that have almost the EXACT SAME TITLE that the person posts with. Its almost like, you have the exact same phrase in your head, you glance down, see the EXACT SAME THING, and yet still post asking about it. Thats all that irks me. : ) Wow, if someone else has the same title as you, maybe they have the same question....or at least one that would help you out. : )
