Post by: Dingoboy on October 26, 2002, 04:06:17 pm: Link yet again i see you being a jerk. If you give them your problem in solving their problem they will better understand, god what is your = 2 a box of rocks that has a hole in the bottom with a child shaking it wildly? These PEOPLE ARE NOT obviously IN the CHATROOM, nor are they Gonna sit here for HOURS researching something that is easier to ask and hope for a response, and A response that isnt assinine from somebody named after a kid in a Crap Video Game that is As old as i am Young X(

Post by: Link on October 27, 2002, 02:19:30 am: DingoBoy if I don\'t respond to them like that alot of other people would, MAYBE YOU SHOULD READ OTHER GOD DAMN POSTS IN THIS FORUM, Stupid ass idiot, I havent seen you help one god damn person, I helped alot of people before Idiots like you started showing up here.

Post by: Keldorn on October 27, 2002, 11:35:36 am: yea lay off dingoboy. All Link is doing is saying what most other ppl are thinking.
Link just doesn\'t want to answer the same question over and over again (cause really it isn\'t so hard to first search a forum. If you don\'t bother you\'re just plain lazy)and Link says it out loud, and in a way i can respect that. So if you wanna bitch and moan about it i suggest you do it somewhere else.

Post by: Link on October 28, 2002, 12:48:23 am: :D maybe they should make the search button alot bigger so no one can miss it.
Title:
Post by: Alisande on October 29, 2002, 11:42:09 pm: search butoon?

what search button?
Title:
Post by: Kiern on October 30, 2002, 12:44:01 am: At the bottom of every page there is a search button, you type in a phrase or something and it finds posts that contain them

very useful, a lot of people should be using it instead of posting stupid posts
Title:
Post by: Fiere on October 30, 2002, 12:58:32 am: Yeah putting it at the top would help too... oh look it is at the top ;) Making it bigger would be a good move though I agree.
Title:
Post by: Link on October 30, 2002, 03:34:39 am: Look at the Top of this post right under the planeshift banner, next to the FAQ button and the MEMBERS button.

Post by: Keldorn on October 30, 2002, 03:02:46 pm: Maybe they should just make it so that every new member doesn\'t get the main forum page after registering but the search page. :)

That\'s not a bad idea...

Anyhoo, how many n00bs do you know that will SEARCH a message board for previous topics..... not many.... it would be better to log the answers in a local text file and then just do a cut and paste. *shruggs* just my idea.

Post by: Aruneko on October 30, 2002, 10:48:06 pm: Well, after all, this forum IS called \"Newbie Help.\" Don\'t you think a newb would go there before searching?

Post by: Relentless on October 30, 2002, 11:01:56 pm: I would like to point out that at beta 4 in Neocron(open beta) even though I had not been following Neocron that long, I noticied a major influx of idiotic n00bs(yes n00bs, not newbs, I choose my words carefully) during the test. All I can say is that: There will always be people who don\'t use the search and ask questions when it is answered in litteraly the thread right below the one they start(saw it happen a bunch of times.) Getting angry won\'t help, I suggest one of two things:

1.Smile and nod and help the new people reguardless of the repeated questions.
2.Go out, and buy a stress relief ball

then throw it as hard as you can at the newb\'s head.

--Edit--
Btw: What IP are you using to connect to planeshift, they changed the ip, try doing that, don\'t know what they changed it to. Look around.

Post by: Fiere on October 30, 2002, 11:11:15 pm: I\'ll second that Relentless

1.Smile and nod and help the new people reguardless of the repeated questions.

I like the third option. Letting Link insult them , it keeps the forum flowing and gives me something to laugh at.
Title:
Post by: Link on November 02, 2002, 02:34:14 am: It would get boring without, they can find the answer if they try the least little bit, It\'s like on retail games, people go on the forums and ask things that are in the manual.
Title:
Post by: Kiern on November 02, 2002, 08:06:17 pm: what really makes me mad is when someone asks a question and we answer and they never return to find out the answer, its stupid...

...and then we cant even yell at them, ruins all the fun ;(
Title:
Post by: loneranger on December 01, 2002, 01:54:59 am: i agree with Relentless if you need something to be interested in or laugh it you need a new forum....
Title:
Post by: Kiern on December 01, 2002, 02:03:58 am: wait til you\'ve been around a few months and then say that again....then maybe i\'ll think about it :P
Title:
Post by: Dranak on December 01, 2002, 04:40:01 am: Errrr I never went to the search, I just went straight to the FAQ and got all my help there :\\

Post by: athelas on December 02, 2002, 02:28:51 pm: Ingenious! This is an excellent way to get rid of all new players! Then, we will have much less server strain and better performance!

Ah, the brilliance of it all!

Title:
Post by: Princess Aelya on December 03, 2002, 05:02:36 am: i think the problem is people are tired of answering the same questions over and over again. maybe some threads need to be made a sticky :P

**end useless spam type foible**

its the same old story in any forum... the regs get bashed for insisting that ppl read posts... the newbs complain cos they think the regs are flaming them for being newbs and the rest of us just shrug and say \' same old bs, different day/newb/nick/retarded pleb who isnt able to read etc etc etc
