What I don't understand is why EVERYONE on here is such a smartass. If someone new gets on here and asks a question about his car, he don't want a bunch of smartass comments about searching. If it pisses you off that bad, why do you even open the post to read it? If you don't like it, don't read it. Get over it. What's the big deal? Why waste the five minutes of your day that you could be doing something useful like acutally helping someone that has asked a question instead of leaving dumb smartass comments on someones post. Haven't figured it out yet.

It's just the way of some people. How do you feel about answering the question, or even linking to a relevant thread.. Then politely introducing the search function? Instead of saying OMGZ I ANSWERED THIS TWO MINUTES AGO GEEZ SEARCH N00B!

How's this?



Sorry for the 240sx.org on there. I should make a Nico version.

I don't mind helping people, but if they're too lazy to search, then that's not fair to make me do the work. It is their problem.

I wouldn't worry about that. At the rate you are going you'll never need it!

just providing the other side of the arguement (sarcastically). . . some people can seriously be jerks about it, though. There's no reason to be mean.

I cant even remember the last technical thread Ive started here because Ive answered most my own questions searching here, and other places...

The biggest hassle in searching is sifting though all the pointless threads by people who are to lazy to do a search them self start.

Its ridiculous to expect a community to answer the same questions over and over. Were only human and at some point we just cant care anymore. So you get various shades of this expressed in the answers. Some threads get very complete answers, while some just get flamed, some have miss-information, ect...

Rather then having a few succinct threads that are revisited on a topic, where miss-information or ambiguities can be worked out over time, with a larger number of members viewing the thread we end up with good information distributed over a much larger number of threads. Its really quite pain in the *** to wade through all the redundant threads to piece together all the info your looking for.

After spending as much time as many of us have spent researching our own problems before we start new threads its just annoying to see ANOTHER thread diluting the archives.....

Yeah, I see where you are coming from. But does everyone have to be a smartass you know?

Yes, because no way in hell am I going to type that friggen essay on why its annoying when people dont search....

Besides when you annoy people they aren't as nice to you, its just they way it works.

But while we are so openly communicating Why is it you can't just search before asking questions? Why would you expect random strangers from the internet to put more effort into finding your answers then you have if you can't even be bothered to search first.

I normally link to the pertinant information, but ONLY if the OP meets these requirements:

Has a post count <100Seems to have some clue on what he/she is talking aboutPresents his/her question in a acceptable form, Not "Yo dawg, where can I find these mad-tyte wheels"Uses proper grammar

If you've been here a while, create a pointles THIS VS.THAT thread,are an a$$, have no clue what you're talking about, or have created many absolutely pointless threads....

Fu<I<in SEARCH!!!

zerothread?id=224378 zerothread?id=224127 zerothread?id=221049 zerothread?id=219525

You don't meet the requirements.

Who gives a **** dude? Maybe those threads aren't pointless to me. And if it bothers you that bad, don't read the damn ****. Keep your worthless opinions to your self. Who gives a **** if they have been answered. Maybe I hate searching like you hate answering a question that has already been answered. Maybe this is my way of searching to find some info. If you don't like it, kiss my white *** *****!

I don't see where pirates came into play, but that's beside the point.

Mods, can we please get a lock on this worthless thread? It's become obvious that this guy is an attention whore, and can't use his own judgment.
