Lol but I have been helpful , look at all my post, there not spam ones unlike the ones wwhere drd speaks , people reply to that going THANK YOU DRD your the best, just to get the post counts up, I just get annoyed when i post and it says 3 mins thing and i press back and all my writing is gone lol
Not to sound like a broken record but just keep posting good useful stuff. Not everyone will say thanks. Does that diminish you?. Ofcourse not but I agree that it's reassuring to know that you're appreciated. Not everyone that says thanks do it for the post count. It's just the polite thing to do. You obviously intend to stay on at AD and with time as you get to know members in this community some by their actual names, etc you'll find that the rewards are far greater than any one little peeve that you might have. Interestingly I can't say that I encountered the 3min thing that you have made reference to, but again that's only minutia. Bottom line...just do good posts and the rest will fall in place on good time.
And please dont say i just post for quantity, i get offended , if you see all my post (PS2 DVD DISCUSSION BACKUP) I have been helping them and alot of them have been thanking me, I just get anoyed by the 3 min thing, and i press back and all my post is gone. eg - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/260678
don't worry about it as your status will change soon. we have 1 member who jumped from newbie to member or senior as admin had been too busy doing site updates & server changes. i jumped from junior to senior in under a month because i was in between status change which used to be 4-6 weeks.
@ Ddp Thanks for the explanation. I joined recently and as I said before I didn't encounter that particular restriction. Maybe it was implimented after I joined or I just post too slow, lol
read this link about the 3min delay for newbie postings. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/253386
I know, read it alreaddy, look at that thread, full of spam, THANKS dRD, your so cool dRD, give me a break lol
1: 3dluis, my post was to Jamzbond 2: watch your attitude to drd or you might hear the approaching thunder!!
@Andmerr Unfortunately trouble, taxes & terminal illnesses also comes along while you're waiting,lol. @Ddp Oh!, I see what you mean. Thanks Ddp.
@Ddp - Whats your problem with me... I didnt offend anyone, i was just giving my view of that topic of how many people keep replying maybe just to count the post counts up. Shess, if thats something wrong than i dunno whats up with this new world. And can you explain what you mean because i never insulted Drd or had a attitude. And besides, if i really wanted to insult drd (which i dont Duh..) than i would of just said hes gay or something, but i dont ... I may be a newbie but doesnt mean you can push me around just because you've been here longer I posted here for a answer, i didnt want to get Threatended \/_\/
actually you did insult dRD but maybe you meant to say DDP You have to remember that a lot of us actaully read the whole thread and all parts that are typed.From the response about which you wrote this looks like an insult to dRD.No ones going to tolerate this, hey man his DA boss.....You might want to edit , your call Every body interprets things difierently : but when you add it adds a different context to the sentence. As to this little bit: Your reading to much into it.ddp didnt threaten you, he just pointed out that your post insinuated disrespect for dRD.Even i saw that but as your a newbie he thought he was doing the right thing by pointing it out. have fun andmerr
@ Nephilim, Though you haven't arrived yet, that haha_lol looks to me like [bold]Uhhhh[/bold] You can make your own decision, but.... joined just after you banned [bold]Uhhhh[/bold], Same dumb posts, same annoying sig... As for this thread, everyone be cool! Some people when they are new to the forums are desperate to get off of the 'newbie' status. This is fairly natural, as the title is a tad demeaning. Anyway, well done the people who helped in this thread, as it could easily have got out of hand. Peace
I'm curious as to why calling someone gay is an insult? I would take it as a compliment. Gay men have great dress sense, understand women & are rarely unkempt! Not like most men I know! Including myself. I have absolutely no dress sense, rarely shave & cannot fathom women out to save my life!
its not a gender phobic response pulsar it was a point that somethings can and will be taken out of context and people will interpret things differently........thats it.I thought that 3dluis would benefit from getting a different opinion.Whether he does or not is any ones guess as he hasnt replied yet
