That sounds horrible, bobby.

But I do know of many places you need a thick skin to survive in. Hopefully not here!

GameFAQs.

That is all.

That's an interesting comment, because in my opinion it is the outsiders that can best decide how friendly a forum is.

I often see places where the members are perfectly nice to each other, but they treat new people and guests very differently. Maybe because the new person needs to "earn the forum's respect" or maybe because the forum is "already full", but for whatever reason, many forums are aloof at best and aggressive at worst towards newcomers.

It's amazing how some of the forums that do this actually pride themselves on how friendly they are.
I'd like to think that we're friendly, so I'm hoping that we're not actually one of those.

I love you already, S.G! And I've only read two of your posts! Hi, my name is Jess, btw. I love guitar people, anyway. My guitar-friends don't talk to me anymore, that made me sad. All this guitar talk is kinda ironic since I have 'Seven Nation Army' stuck in my head, I'll have to get it off iTunes. But, I haven't really seen you 'round here before so Welcome!

Aww, I love what you've done to your signature. Yes! Another creation. Tig: two, life: zero. I do hope it catches on.

Oh, a test. To see how much better we are as a forum than them. I like it...

There should be Best Forum Awards, we would win every time.

That is shocking. That's why I only come here, I feel lucky I found this place all those years ago.
Nice avatar, btw.

I once had to write a flash based web page for job at work, and there was all this AS in it.

Anyway this was AS2 and the site needed something I didn't know how to do, due to it not supported proper OOP so I posted the question on a forum and got huge amounts of stick.

A lot of it was personal too. In the end I snapped and told them to learn a proper language and never went back. Not my finest moment.

This forum is utterly different, I love coming here. Everybody is so kind, understanding and helpful.

I see the problem. Maybe we could import some vicious posters from some of these other places. Actually, they make my day. Sometimes you get, RTM, or do your own work, or hey, are you stupid, or man, your posts are garbage. I love when someone will follow you around from forum to forum to berate your posts. Cool!

Hi David!

that i believe is because COBOL and AS2 have become outdated unlike C++ or Java or else likewise! we have no choice until we can predict their reliability and usability over time!
i guess the same goes with the Windows Platform related job experiences. Micro$oft still offers WinServer 2003 courses (at Lower prices) which, i believe will start getting replaced in Business Related Environments by its 2007/2008R counterparts soon!

i mean, u just can't help it but update!?
and the same goes with mathematics.. so many new theories have Evolved in Algebra (Abstract) that if i try reading through them then i just go to sleep (then imagine and solve the questions in dreams and i call it a Good Night)!

and bobbym . . . i guess it's "the sneaky, spineless cad! the reptile!!!" right??   

Hi Bobby

I don't believe there is. The satisfaction to be had when you work something out and the program it in and see it come to life is the sort of thing to make you run about the house shouting and cheering.
