The problem with many newbies is that they get angry when you gently direct them to the 'How to post a question' thread.

ReggaetonKing · Mar 13th, 2006, 6:41 PM

The whole solution, even sometimes with me; Search and Read! Before I came here I didnt bother reading and expected everything instantaneous! Google is free and always been part of my computer life...wow...lol. A lot of people don't use it to it's full potential. They only look at the first 10 links and say, "I cant find it, boo woo!". Then their next result is a forum.

"Experts at this sort of thing will tell me!"

A lot of newbie, not all and please dont get offended, only start a thread b/c they are late on their classroom assignments or homework/projects! They expect us to just post them their intended answer and they get an "A", depends who it is that posted the answer lol, and never bother to think about this forum again. I think it's pitful and ridulous! DaWei is absolutly correct about what he said. Grumpy makes A LOT of excellents point using school as reference! Altogether, people like that will never stop and just came posting and waiting 10 minutes for a user to response so he/she can have a good homework grade. Users like us will also be discussing the same issue over and over again. Its an endless loop!

Is that really a word? :p

No, it's the correct plural of forum

nnxion · Mar 14th, 2006, 4:28 PM

The word "museum" comes from the Latin museum, plural musea, so the word "forum" should become fora, but since museums is the correct plural in English, forums is correct also.

ReggaetonKing · Mar 14th, 2006, 4:32 PM

w0w! I did not know that! I am going to use that a lot now instead of "forums". Fora is a kool word! lol

DaWei · Mar 14th, 2006, 4:32 PM

And joking here is called fora-play.

ReggaetonKing · Mar 14th, 2006, 4:34 PM

lmao, I knew you were going to post right after me!
