Most definitely agree with what Ladybug stated. Just wanted to add that if you think your question sounds like one many people are asking, it has probably been asked. I have found this out over the short time I have been here. The summaries are an amazing read. There's a ton of info I learned from them - a big thanks to News Askew! But like all mortals they can't always keep up, as Chris from NA stated, that's what the submit button is for. But the boards themselves are a great resource. Why do you think Ming and HolyToads keep older boards around? Great Info!
It's hard to come into a group of friends who have been on the board for years, have inside jokes and whatnot. I just hung out for a month or so, then decided to start posting, made the common mistakes, but learned quickly. I read the summaries to answer questions, I searched old posts because most of my questions seemed pretty common (which they were). So try to learn the way of the board (I'm still learning) before asking stupid questions, pissing a regular off, etc. My 2 cents.
: Read all the responses to a question before you post an answer. Three people posted the same answer to a question asking about the name of a song. If you have something different to say that's one thing - but if you are just going to regurgitate what's already been said - it's just a waste of board space and people's time.
