Alright all,
I tend to follow threads on the GP32x on a daily basis. Most of them are either interesting or entertaining, and a lot of the time sound support and advice is offered.
But I'm getting increasingly hacked off with the know it all, shoot you down in a second mentality of some of the forums members, particularly when directed at a newcomer.
And why not? They're easy targets right? And its so much more productive to spend a minute or two slagging and flaming them than actually offering a line or two of help.
Only thing is, it comes over as pathetic, and the guy looking the idiot certainly isn't the one asking the questions. So why do it? Obviously if you're slagging someone down, its because you know the answer and they don't. So why not share the brilliant wisdom that obviously gives you the right to be so rude and unpleasant.
When I bought a GP32, I was stuck with the white bar issue, so I posted on the forum. The replies I got were extremely helpful and friendly. I realise now that that was just pure luck. If I'd have got yupster, charga_man or some of the other bullying divs that patrol these forums, it may have just given me the impression that the forum is full of tossers and geeks.
So message to the pricks on this forum - sort it out. If people are shot down for asking a question, they may not ask any more, then they'll be as ignorant as you.
