Respect on XS gone South

[The0men]

The best quote of the thread. Everyone was a n00b at one time.
I don't get upset at the new guy. I get upset at the "old" guy that jumps on an innocent question asked by the n00b..
The young kid that posted a thread in total honestly amazed at how much bigger 120mm fans were than the 80's he was used to and then was hammered by a guy calling it a useless thread..Is it? Made me think a little.
Remember the first time you bought 120's?
What did you think? Yes, admit it..God are these big..
I think what we need to see more of at Xs is patience.
I could go on here but thats enough for one night.

I understand frustration amongst long time users at people posting useless or irrellivent threads. I went into the Xtreme Bandwidth a couple of days ago, and seen two people asking the same question in simultanious threads, both asking what ram they should buy, and both could have found the answer results other people have had, and aking theyre own informed decision.

I have not been around XS for very long, but to be honest the reason I am here is because there are LOADS of people who are very skilled and knowlegable in my interest, computers.

But I also notice deterioration in the intellect people put into posts "flaming" others because of theyre apparent lack of knowladge. There is no need for that. Though at times it can be frustrating, i think it's better just not to post, than to post something plainly insulting...

All in all I think XS is a good place to find information. Not allowing people to join doesnt help, you may be turning away some one with something very intellegint to input... Theres no need for heavy policing, things dont seem bad really, just inform a user misusing the forums... If they flame you in return just send a link to a mod or admin, and i'm sure all will be fine.

Movieman is right though, we only learn from others. Sometimes stupid questions need to be asked

I think my post is more of a compliment than complaint.
