Well, my first bitch in this thread...I don't have many; like my Dad, I usually go with the flow because negativity is just a waste of energy, not to mention a contagious and destructive force.
Last night, Pepsimaxx started a thread in the safety valve to introduce his friend:
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/326093
There were a number of hospitable responses and a couple which could serve no purpose but to drive away the person being introduced; if one couldn't bring himself/herself to say hello, it would be better to say nothing at all. Apparantly, some thought the thread was useless and decided to report it to the mods ... so be it if that is one's take on it; but was it necessary to post this hostility for the new person to read??
I first joined afterdawn in august of 2003...I'd post a question and disappear until I had another. In 2005, I posted another question which was answered by a certain addict who has since left for personal reasons. In a thread that had gone adrift, he not only posted valuable info, but joked and laughed, intoduced me to others and I've been here since and spend a good bit of time helping out in the very forum where this occured; although things have slowed down lately.
Remembering this, I too started a thread a week or two ago. A new guy in the forum was answering questions and doind so quite well. If the forum picks up again as I hope, well need all the help we can get there as there aren't many of us and the most prolific contributer to that forum has left for personal reasons. Anyway, the guy I introduces is in multiple forums contributing quite a lot ... not because of my efforts as he was already doing so, but I just wanted him to feel welcomed and appreciated; is this so wrong?
Pepsimaxx's thread was called useless dribble and reported. Amidst threads on firearms, morning coffee, favorite movies, bad movies, vomiting dolls, sexy pictures, favorite bands etc. etc. people have to target a thread to introduce a new member, make him feel unwelcomed and go on about the thread being dribble...amidst all those other thread of earthshattering importance, they have to choose to be nasty in one introducing a new member. A fine welcome indeed. If they felt like making nasty comments about "dribble" ... couldn't they have chosen the vomiting dolls or something where a new member wouldn't be offended?
Well, so much for my bitching.

@gerry1 - i tried to sit on the fence on that one - Quote:
right then, there's welcoming someone and there's typing for the sake of it, so let's try to make the thread at least a fraction sensible or it'll just get closed for being pointless....
- i personally keep my eyes on the kids as it can degenerate real fast, ie it can get like being in McDonalds in the school hols. i remember being a teen and have pre-teen kids myself, but i just cannot stand it when kids start waffling on.. adults waffling on i can tolerate more, but when kids get started i turn into an old fart

@creaky...I felt a need to say something but tried to respond in a way that wouldn't start anything. I hate it what that stuff happens. I'm told that you mods really have a handful in the games forums...I can see it; must be all kids.

I HAVE ANOTHER BIG BITCH,read it...
Cassi Hunt meets the RIAA,
p2p news view / p2pnet: If you're a college student who's being sued by the RIAA, here's what you do:
Drop out of college, or go to community college, so you can afford to pay RIAA blackmail.
Who says? The RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America).

Microsoft doesn't like PCs sold without Windows
4/5/2006 2:51:19 PM, by Eric Bangeman
Is selling PCs without an OS installed a bad idea for retailers? Microsoft thinks so. In an article in Microsoft's Partner Update magazine, (link found in this ZDNet article), Microsoft's anti-piracy head Michala Alexander advises retailers to avoid selling "naked" PCs, saying that doing so puts the vendors at risk.
According to Microsoft's figures, about 5 percent of the 10 million PCs sold in the UK will go out the door without an operating system installed. There are obviously a number of reasons why customers would want a PC sans OS. Customers might be planning on running Linux or FreeBSD instead of Windows. Others may have unused Windows licenses laying about. Although Alexander doesn't come right out and say it, lurking in the background is the issue of piracy.

I agree with BliveNC. I used the search for info I needed for almost two years before ever posting. Too many lazy people who can't do two seconds of trial and error before asking a stupid question.

When they gave us computers in 1994, they said it would eliminate the paperwork. I'm still waiting patiently! Now, in addition to the same paperwork, we've got to enter identical information if three different databases because nothing talks to the other.
I work in the education end of social work and the money's run out; education is a low economic priority these days despite all the rhetoric to the contrary...someone get me another bag! LOL

Ever see one of those big bags they put over houses for fumigation (tent fumigation)? Then that still wouldn't be large enough. ;) Fumigation may be needed for some of the bureaucrats though. LOL
