: : I'll put it this way then. Since SOME folks can't manage to be nice about it. (No, not you Phoenix)...
: : This message forum format sucks big hairy balls. It doesn't take a newbie to say that. Anyone who's ever used any kind of message forum (be it way back in the 70's and 80's when there was no Internet and we all ran BBS's or today when it's all on the web) can tell the difference between something that's easy to work with and navigate and something that's a piece of crap.
: : Also, I think the whole "newbie attitude" issue here is rediculious. What the heck are you defining as a newbie anyway? Just someone who's new to this forum? Big fucking deal! We're ALL newbies to someone. But in the long run, I guarantee you that I've been doing shit like this since before you were probably even born. So you gotta mean a newbie to this forum. And to be quite honest, if it's gonna stay like this, I won't be around long enough to ever graduate from newbie status because it's too much trouble to be bothered keeping track of the posts on this site. If YOU have the time to sift through all this nonsense, God bless and good luck, maybe one day you'll learn about the world outside and find that this is just too much crap to go through.
: : Also, I'm not advertising for EZBoard. In fact, I have nothing to do with them at all except that I like their forums. It's well put together and highly customizable and the price is cheap enough to make them affordable for almost anyone. Whereas, something comparable, such as UBB, would cost you nearly $2000 to set up and run, and it wouldn't be any better than the ezboard.
: : This board, such as it is, isn't much more than a damned app, just a few hundred lines of java script. That a company that expects to be taken seriously can't do any better than this is a really bad sign.
: : Now, having gotten that out of my system. Realize, it's directed to the asshole who went out of his way to actually flame me after I specifically said I'm just trying to help out. It in no way reflects any opinions on my part towards others on this forum. And I don't know who designed this discussion app, but I don't mean to bust his chops either.
