Hostile Play Environment
wyndsong:
I know I'm going to get all kinds of backlash from this, but I must speak out. I'm not angry, just a little surprised by this forum sometimes. Why do some people have to be so negative and insulting whenever someone needs help? Especially when it comes to legitimate concerns about installing this program. For a newbie to come in and try to install Awesome from the download page with NO INFORMATION about whether it's been updated, how would he know why it wasn't working? He could spend a few hours reading the forum for answers but what would he find? Talk of an update, a hint of a test mod, and many statements that the download link on the download page is ALWAYS the most recent update.
Besides, you can berate someone without calling them names and making them feel like the scum of the earth.
Just sayin'.
Furthermore, don't forget that all you superior intellectuals are playing a game where you pretend to have a life.
Ichigo:
Little lord Jesus, with a name like "More Awesome Than You", you would think people would get the idea that this is not a snuggly bunch. LURK MOAR. The people of MATY have always been helpful and polite to me when I need technical help because I ask for it with proper grammar and evidence that I did some research on my own.
And what makes you think *YOU* are the one to speak out? If you knew you'd get backlash, why bother?

UPDATE
Updated to Patch 1.29
Added "Finish Queue" mode as requested by Fat Gwilly People to speed 4.
Oh fuck off if you aren't going to have the basic courtesy to READ. Do you walk into a bookstore and wail at the top of your lungs that you can't find something too?
Solowren:
So close! Now just accuse someone of Pescado worship and speak in 1337.

The answer would be to familiarize yourself with the site. Correct me if I am wrong (anyone and everybody), but the purpose of a website is to garner recumbent visitors. If one is savvy enough, it isn't difficult to figure the site's culture (especially since it is manifested in the FAQ). And, if one reads the FAQ first, there are no questions later. The FAQ is easily recognized and easy to read. It is an indication of laziness and stupidity to not familiarize oneself of the sites' procedures (especially since it is so easily located!) before posting. It is also presumed that one who is interested in using said mod would take the time to read and understand the forum and have a basic knowledge of computers BEFORE trying to use a mod. Really, if you don't know how to extract a zip/rar file, why are you here? (Although, it's been my experience that those who know more than me are more than helpful)

ORLY, Shame is an effective learning tool, especially since the norms of the forum are specifically designated in the FAQ. (Is it necessary to link?) The predominant time, the question has been asked so often, that even noobes like me find it difficult to respond in a manner you would find acceptable.
[/quote] Just sayin'.[/quote] Mmm hmmm.

We pretend to have a life? See, here's the problem - everyone on this forum DOES have a life. Responding to questions for which the answers have been given time and again is not only aggravating, but also a waste. It also detracts from the focus - MOAR fight ('tis amusing, no?). Lame and deserving of a raspberry.
ETA: So I fucked up on quoting. Does that retract from the statement? Of course it does. Well that's craptiatsically my mistake. Hopefully you get the gist.
