Before you report this post and leave, hear me out!
There are so many people that either: feel they're too good to search for information on their own, OR are too lazy to do so.
It's extremely insulting to other users that take time to do a decent amount of research about a question they have (it only takes about 10-15 minutes, plus GBAtemp has a pretty decent search function now), and then creates a new thread/topic ONLY if they haven't found the information they desired, or required further clarification.
And even at that, they may only bump a their thread once every two hours or so instead of once every 15 minutes with "HELLLOOO? WHY ISN'T ANYONE ANSWERING ME??".
I know what you're thinking: "not everyone is like that!"....and you'd be right. But I do see a pattern with some new users.
They'll ask a question such as "When will coldboot backup loading be available on NSwitch 5.0.2 for free?" or something of the sort. They'll get 7-8 answers, some more detailed than others, but all of them essentially explaining to them the same thing: What they desire is not possible, or at least with their conditions. I noticed this a lot with the 3DS scene as well(eg. "why can't I just get CFW for free on 11.6? they should make it already").
As they didn't get the answer that they wanted, they won't even give a simply "thank you" after:
ugghh....I don't know. The entitlement of some people really burns me up, and like I said, it's a big slap in the face to people who do their research before hand.
The purpose of this post wasn't to flame anyone, but more to express my personal frustration (that I'm sure a pretty large amount of other users here share) so I hope we can all be mature when discussing this.
(also figured it would be better to express myself in a blog post instead of blowing my top like I've been doing)

As they didn't get the answer that they wanted, they won't even give a simply "thank you" after:
- Cluttering up the "Recent Content" area of the homepage
- Wasting other users' time
- Potentially forcing any valid, constructive, or useful threads out of the "Recent Content" area
- Acting as if they're entitled to what they're looking for (exploits, backup loaders, etc)
