Everytime i ask a question that i feel like someone out there might have an answer...i get no reply back and/or very few people to even read it. It seems to me that unless the topic is scrolling on the home page it doesnt ever get any posts. All I have to say is THW is a great site but for forums it sucks. Im sure ill get flammed for this one, but i dont care.

Oh yes, I'm first to this.... OH YES!!!!!!

For focks sake mate, a little overview of yourself, if I may:

You were born to whinge; you're old girl shat you out of her womb and you complained that she took her time. Your old man, seeing your corn ball arse pop out, was nothing short of disgruntled with your physical characteristics and turned to the Gods for answers only to find some kind of solace in hard liquor, strip joints, and spoons of smack.

Your teen years were appalling: you were the brunt of your classmates jokes; the lads lumped you as "Lips", aptly titled given your uncanny distinction for looking like Julia Roberts which pissed the lads off seeing such lips on a dude.

University majoring in Computer science was disappointing for you; you delivered pizzas and mastered age of empires 2 online and were proud of usertitle "Lippsy" on the microsoft servers.

So, you wind up here, blowing time in between ripping off some business who thinks they need a "network" manager but instead the average 15 yr old could really set-up and run the show for them; tragically you draw a nice salary, and I'm sure, ole' Lippsy is looking to marry something scary and raise the rugrats.

I know, I know, I'm a telepathic genius.

So why not post another terrificly fascinating thread subject, Lippsy? I'm only just getting warmed up...

What question did you post, and where? Is it a legitimate question? or a idiotic one? Did you take the time to actually try and figure it out? or are you looking for a free hand out?

Sometimes people are also legitimately busy and your question or comment could get over looked. This is a free forum, with people helping out of the kindness of their hearts. It's not like they're getting paid for it.

wtf

Perhaps waiting for more than a day as well would be a good suggestion. WTF, no one is here to serve you.

You'd get better help in other sections you stupid noob.

Reply to Action_Man

Please post links to your questions. I will read and answer them all for you. I have a feeling that my reply will be along the lines of....

1 Very good question, you can find answers in the other posts where it has been asked countless times before.

2 Very good question, please take note of my previous answer.

3 Very good question, now fcuk off you're annoying me with your stupidity.

I may be wrong, but who cares?

1 I have installed the MS patch as well as the AMD patch. I dont seem to be getting any problems in games, though i dont play many. However, I do experience studdering in day to day windows navigation. When i select files 2 (.mp3, .exe, .XXX, pretty much anything) and then right click to delete or rename...I get an annoyingly long pause before the drop down box will show up. Does anyone else have this problem? I have both patchs, 3 the regedit set to 1 and CnQ is disabled oh and XP sp2. Im at my wits end with this problem its so annoying to wait for this lagginess.

Ive read Anandtech, HardOCP and others and i havent heard anyone speaking of this issue. Anyone?

Any help or comments are definitly appreciated.
Thanks all.

So this was posted in the Software > Hardware section...
1. MS has released two patches in the last 10 years, please specify which one you are referring to, same for AMD.
2. Thanks for specifying .mp3, .exe, .XXX (which means anything), AND pretty much anything)
3. Regedit is set to 1 for what???

Did you try standard troubleshooting? Do you have enough free space? Did you defrag / scandisk?

I am guessing that these are some of the reason you didn't get a reply... Thank you, drive through...

dude... no one frequents that forum. that's why u didn't get an answer. try posting in the CPU section next time.

Reply to mpjesse

Jef made a valid point. He also gave the noob something to think about next time he posts. Your delusional elitist rantings serve neither decent forum members nor Tgp.

This is the Other Section dude, this is where those that do help others go to get away from all the stupid questions some people ask here, so since you're here it would save some time for myself and others to tell you this.

If you're in dire straits Google it!

If you're building a computer and don't know what parts to put together that are compatable to make a complete machine, maybe you're really not ready to build one, Do Your Own Research!

If you're having a problem with a particular piece of hardware or software, look at the hardware or software manufacturers website for answers.

Do Your Own Research!

We have stickys all over this forum from one end to the other, they were made stickys because they contain valuable information pertaining to each section, read the stickys a lot of work went into them and if they weren't good enough to be made into a sticky, they wouldn't be there.

There are people here that will help you!

But starting a thread: Is this forum worth a S**t?

Isn't going to find them!

I'm patting myself on the back for leaving out the choice words that came to mind for you!

So Live and Learn!

And

Do Your Own Research!

Oh! Almost forgot, we aren't mind readers, if you really need help? Post your full system specs., and Operating system or systems you're running.

So we know what hardware and software we're dealing with!

Yeah, I'll put that up there towards the top of my Realistic Things To Worry About list. Somewhere around #87,256,194. Right after the possibility of RC switching brands and making some good beer on the market to be scarce.

I can see the USA Today headline now:

Dirty Kiwi Sluts: Auburn University Ready for this Year's Intake!

"A 1998 graduate of Auburn University today announced that he was ready for this year's influx of DWIKS (Dirty Wandering Insatiable Kiwi Sluts) and that he had 4 kegs of welcome beer chilled and waiting at his frat house. "Aubby", as he affectionately likes to be called, also suggested that he and this year's star freshman running back were pumped and ready to go to tag team the classical sex manouver, "the spit roast". Reports that he was concerned about his marriage and age were grossly over-stated, Aubby suggested: "I dont give a fock what my wife thinks and an ex-grad like me is never too old to slamdance with DWIKS!"

Reply to BomberBill

Hey, switch that RB out for one of our cheerleader chicks and you've got somethin' there.

Reply to Auburn9698

Oh man, should I supplement the beer for malibu and coconut juice too[/Wings] and the DWIKS for hairy-assed Ladyboys, hmm.... [/DH].

You complain again Chief, and we'll cut this year's intake of DWIKS. :lol:

Complain? I see no complaint. I see a great suggestion, though.

Hey! I could make a few bucks!!!!

Reply to JustPlainJef

$5 to watch Aubie go down faster than a crack whore in the first round? If there's beer count me in.

Reply to Tom_Smart

You'd make a lot more than that selling acid if you weren't obviously consuming so much of your own supply.

Although.....does this mean that I get to wear spandex and assault the ole geezer with a flying ass bomb off the top rope?! Sweet! 8)

Sure... Flying ass bombs away!

Well, yes & no.....

I have several Coors a day, as a rule.... What with the heat & all, it's taken several more Coors that the normal several a day, these last few days!!!!! :P

Reply to RCPilot

Id just like to thank all of the thoughtful individuals who have been posting to my question. I was wrong. This forum is truely a great one. THW should thank their lucky stars for all of the wonderful and insightful, hardworking posting people that come here and unselfishly help out.

...hahaha...


Thanks for the posts!

Reply to mack_ave

Welcome to thread hi-jacking.

Reply to Yahiko81

Why don't you go thank the ones in the appropriate forums. Not everyone comes here.

You can thank them for looking at your question too, even though they didn't answer, meaning, they have no idea, and rather than posting "I don't know" they just kept their mouth shut instead of spamming needless things.

Reply to CHEEZball

RobD gave you all the information you need.
