Should we be nicer to newbies?

[Sonicxtacy02]

whoa... way too long for me to read.. especially with a hangover, but i think i get your basic premise. You'll never see me say "Just search". I'll give a brief answer to the question, then say for more information you can search using the terms "blah", "blah", or "blah". That way the newbie gets a basic answer and knows where to go for more information.

i agree about n00b harshness, i've repeated myself many times, so what i do, cut and paste <p>Easy and friendly <p>also, there shouldnt be anything wrong with posting a question, why bring up a year-old-post? Im sure theres new news, some updates info to talk about sicne the last post, people dont always do everything the same everytiem someone goes the same job, someone may find a new thing here, a new way to do something there...<p>One thing that pisses me off is that i wanna do a KLZE swap, i asked about what i needed to do different when putting a 94-96 KLZE in my 92-93GS, (this was quite a few months ago), and i believe it David Coleman told me to read the V6 FAQ, and theres nothing in there, the only post i see is the FAQ: 2.5L KL engine swap info in the last post section....
<p>I'm planning a KLZE swap in the next month or two and i need to know this, but how do i find the info if im affraid to post the question cause people just give me the flamming run-around<p>[ April 18, 2003: Message edited by: Nd4SpdSe ]<hr></blockquote><p>Make sure u have "show all topics selected"<p>

yah, i had wondered that same thing, then I remembered about the show topics from the last _ days. Maybe if there was a way to make the faqs always show all topics...?

the way i see it, everyone on here was new guy (or girl) at one time, and also at one point you didnt know about the search function, the way i see it, shut up, ****, they dont know, leave them alone, if you dont want to read what they have to say, dont open the topic, like thats all you have to read, if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all, i know that sounds funny coming from me but just let them be. im not saying this to any "one" person, and for the new guys that have used the search thing and someone puts in capital letters, "USE THE ****ING SEARCH ENGINE" , then the guy will speek up and say i did, then dont you look like an idiot cause too many people jump to conclusions, i say chill, help each other out, and have a good time and have patience<p>
peace ( i know i cant spell, hahaha)

Also, <p> Be sure to note that just because a member doesn't have a lot of posts, doesnt mean that he/she is a newbie.<p> I have been around MX-3's forever and on the board for a VERY long time... but I rarely post. I usually just find out whats new and if it can help me out.<p>I dont have too many posts, some people who have been on here for a month have more than me.
