I'm really getting tired of seeing mostly posts that are made to beg for help. And by help, most of the posts I'm talking about amount to "give me the hacks". Most of them are made by "junior members" who have never been seen before on the board. And most of the questions have already been answered in the Releases section. Finally, 99.9% of the time, if you do answer the question, the OP won't even hit Thanks for you.
So here is how I feel: First, most of the hacking is dirt simple. Follow the tuts that are posted, and you will do fine. If you can't follow the very simple directions, you shouldn't be trying to hack in the first place. If someone has a legitimate question about a point that the tuts aren't too clear on, I'll be happy to help. But if I see another post about how "hard" it is to find the new addresses for CE hacks, or begging for a ct file that has the skill hack in it, I'm gonna probably post something uncomplementary. And if the poster is a "junior member" with only 1 post, change that probably to definately.
Second, I am so tired of seeing someone's panicked post about how the new patch has killed all his hacks. Again, most of the time this is from a new forum member. Most veteran members have already updated the addresses or CRC and are had at "work" hacking away. Most new patches are minor inconveniences. Get over it, fix your hacks (if you don't know how, read the tuts about it!) and get on with your life.
BTW, I'm not even close to a "leet" hacker. There's a lot of stuff I don't understand yet. But I will try my best to figure it out on my own by searching the releases and old posts. Only when I have exhausted the search function and my own brain will I start posting questions.
