You talking about NAS aka. Mr. Knobsworth? Me and him get along great. Go figure.
Still waiting patiently for the day you two go at it:p
As for noobs, I started to post on these forums to help other noobs with the research I have done (and to help before long time members scare them away). I liked helping people in the beginning (and still do) but one time on the cookiejar forums I answered a "why is this so cheap" question with a long rant explaining everything about this wonderfull product. Took me about 40 min. (slow typer in english) to type it up. So I helped the guy and a section of my rant was used for their new faq. Couple of days later....same question and I thought why didn't he read the faq and planed a harsh reply which I withdrew later. Same thing here. People put time into writing it to help others only to see some lazy guy/gal use up space asking the same question for the 1xxx time. Bad thing is, going off on a noob doesn't do anything except scare him/her away and create internet fobia (just thought that up
) Maybe even stop considering using JJ's store which is not what we want.We should just respond mildly sarcastic like : "Is this your first internet visit? Go read the FAQ" without any curse words added and have no more replies to those posts. Actually, these questions should be locked after one reply and to do that we need a more active mod. JJ's hardly ever online or atleast hardly on the forums and Shibo...where the hell is Shibo?
