Things We've Learned From The BBS
witch:
Oh. Making it quite obvious I haven't played the house of the fallen trees. ::) I've been meaning to go and have a look at it again since I read about the extensive basements.

Yep. It's on the edge of town - near the cemetary.

I've learned that if you take the time to post factual helpful answers then you'll end up with tire tread marks across your back from the simmers posting whatever answer fancies them at the time just to get the post out first and get the bene.
The funny part is, answering a question almost never gets a bene, even for the first poster and even if they are promised... and in a few cases, even if the original poster *says* he gave a bene. This used to be obvious back when the bene count was displayed with every post. Now, bene counts didn't always update right away, but when three other people have posted *after* someone said they gave benes, the count should have shown.

Yes I think that is funny as well. I never cared for benes they give me the worse heartburn. But I know I used to could get up to 20 + questions a day that I helped with and rarely got a bene, but I did get the satisfaction of knowing that I solved someone's problem.
My favorite reward was if they came back or signed my GB to tell me it worked. Those are even more rare but made it worth the trouble.
A peeve of mine were the posters offering a bene for an answer. Kind of made it seem like a dog trick. If I answered I told them to keep it and pass it to someone else.
On a side note Hook. Although registered I didn't become active on the Sims 2 site until last spring and missed the original crew that was there. When I started seeing your name more and more and how helpful you were I made an inquiry because I saw that you were rarely around. Another Simmer told me that you had moved on to forums of a different caliber and that's how I stumbled across MATY. Not because you were here specifically but because I was looking for better quality forums. So though you probably have no idea who I am I thought I would let you know you are partially responsible for getting me to flock here.
