why i have been a lurker

This site seems to have been filled with a mass of people that come here purely for trolling.
The community seems to have gone downhill since last year.
Before there were people that were willing to help people and now people just troll and call people noobs for not knowing how to do something.
When all this goes on it's hard not to lurk

That was a rant courtesy of

Sure there are asses that will automatically resore to telling you to RTFM but there are a lot of helpful souls on this site that will take the time to give you info and point you to sites/posts to help you.

I can agree with that, there are just as many helpful people as there are trolls.
Unfortunately, some grow egos and make the number decrease, but there are some that are here simply to help, which is why I stopped lurking so much, I needed to help.
 
I've always had an ego (and I try my best to never pass up a reference to lmgtfy, because they are so rare for me), but at least if its moonshell2 related...most of my negative nature is on standby xD.
 
I'll sometimes be a bit sarcastic if it's clear the person requesting help hasn't searched at all but I always give them a link that points them in the right direction.
 
Whining and bawwwwing belong to blogs.
Only reposting stupid things that you saw on the internet that you thought was funny belong to General Off-topic Chat.

Apparently some do. :rolleyes:

There are people that you know are trying to troll people, some "trolls" try to help, only they have extremely opinionated posts that cause controversy thus labeling them as trolls.

Fanboys/girls are also part of the troll species.

Hey someone make a classification for trolls. xD
 
What trolls ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Posts get instantly modified or deleted if they're the slightest bit off color, I couldn't imagine a more regulated forum existing on the entire internet
