"kissing up to mods and high posters"?
um, everyone better kiss up to the admins, because w/o them this site wouldn't exist. but the admins have had their times of fault too.
and MOST highposters post crap. i would rather see a newbie say something useful, than a highposter post his/her regualr crap.
btw, this topic can be deleted/locked anytime. i think enough people have been here to see my point, and i am getting tired of defending my position from rude sarcasm. i mean the least some one could do is logically say why newbies suck compared to the barage of stupid responses this post has recieved (inbetween the few good ones).
and also, i won't be replying to this topic anymore (unless something warents a response from me). i would honestly like to see this topic die, 'cause no one (barring a few) seem to understand my main gripe. the hell w/ isos and the like; any idiot could find them. the hell w/ the ftp site, again, any idiot could find one.
just to be crystal clear, my gripe is that this place (actually the people who frequent this place), have closed their ranks and said (virtually), "unless you are a newbie w/ knoledge (aka an oldschool gamer who can help us who really is far from a newbie), or one of us, get lost!"
aidos all, and happy chatting.
