I'm not talking about AH or having a bit of banter. It's to be expected and it can be a good laugh! But it seems alot of the time when a question is asked or advice is sought on boards people feel the need to give opinions where they aren't needed or think that they know EVERYTHING and that their opinion and advice is THE only advice that should be followed and you're an ass for not already thinking of it. I wonder are these people the ar$eholes they appear to be in real life or is it just the keyboard and anonymity that bring it out?! Boards used to be very handy for some helpful advice from a stranger or finding out something but lately it's just somewhere to be treated like an idiot for not already knowing everything!

..in older times they would have advised you to 'lurk m0ar'.

yeah see you're the very kind I'm talking about. I don't mind a good discussion with different opinions. It's all good. The point is some times people don't want opinions, they want A FACTUAL ANSWER eg: ""yes, you'll get that in Argos." It's the people that come along and say "well why haven't you looked in the Argos catalogue?" that I'm talking about.

I agree with what your saying,any post asking for advice on any subject will be answered by one or two sane people who will offer constructive well intended advice, then the what i call nitpickers,use any term you want,A**h**es W*****s, arrive at the scene,you know the type 'its actually not actualy' wasters sprouting bull,posting for the sake of posting,they must have a sad lonely frustrated life if the only entertainment they can out of life is to annoy other users,they're on the boards every night,hands hovering over the keyboard,drooling in anticipation at annoying someone else before they have another toss,as you have said yourself,the boards was a great place for advice on just about any subject but a bad attitude has crept on the boards in the last few months and its getting worse,i have no problem with any poster disagreeing with another once it done in an honest constructive manner,but to post to tell an op that their spelling is wrong is out of order.whats the point of it all,if you cant help out in a post just move on and find a subject that your really interested in,also im sure some of my spelling/grammer may not be perfect but who cares,yes we can all spell check but i couldn't be bothered,if you have nothing good to say,say nothing,regards

This post reeks of newbie. Honestly... give it a few months and you'll be joining us. It's like a fungus.

If your looking for help wiki.answers and fixya is an endless source of no info, but you should find your question.

All joking aside.
1. Thats the net for you.
2. Thats After Hours especially (besides other possible sections).
3. If anyone IS genuine, in amid the crappy replies, you will find some gems of answering posts (hopefully).

I agree.

But:

Biggins, please tell me, I know you were inebriated, but how in the hell do you balance IN a pole?

:pac:

I think of Ah as the melting pot of boards, it's where the most inane retarded posters go because there is nowhere else left for them. In generations to come people will look back at AH and wonder in awe at how we ever managed to turn our computers on to begin with.

Well if she is willing and adventurous, you have a whole new experience ahead of you!

I used to feel the same way and then figured that the majority of boards is probably made up of 18 to early 20 yr olds, completely opinionated and believe they know it all but give them time and they will learn. So now I just read and think ah god love em :pac:

Fighting Irish

I notice this as well, a lot of power tripping going on around here and it seems to be copied then by other members, if this forum wasn't Ireland related, i'd never use it!
