well, i have said this myself 100x already, warmonger, u should understand if u have as much exp with this as u state:
i myslef learned 90% of this stuff on my own, by searching, and when that didnt come up with anything, i read every post on every sticky, then once i had done every search i could think of, and read every post on every sticky 10x, i resorted to trial and error, learning from my mistakes, i only asked when it was an absolute last resort, and 9 times out of 10, no one else had the answer either, or informed me why it was like that for everyone else as well
what these guys do, yes tony even you, is it seems like they try one thing (maybe) and then post to ask, posting to ask should be the LAST resort, not the 2nd attempt, so after 1000000000x of the same questions being asked, answered and asked again, it get f'ing old, and tends to not only frustrate the person who has already answered it 100x already but irritates the dog shit out of ppl like me who actually spent the time to seach, read, and fuck my server up 100x to learn what i was doing
in the end, 99 noobs out of 100 are better off if you just hand them a complete 1-click server already configured completely and . . . . oh wait . . . . how many hundreds of questions do we have about that . . . .
i said it b4, and ill say it again, flaming is prolly not the best way to vent, but god damnit at least make an attempt to figure it out urself b4 jumping on here and asking a completely noob question, if you do, and u teach urself everything, and then answer a few of the same questions, i bet you 5 USD u will be the one yelling search . . .
so maybe you guys should look at it from another point of view b4 u hop on the "this guy is an asshole for not handing me the answer" wagon
