Danik XP Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 OK, Im'm 17 (just turned today actually), and I'm so sick of people posting dumb and useless threads, flaming each other and such. Yeah, I know that everyone is entitled to thier own opinion, but do try to act in an civilized manner and not embarass other people in your age group/area of interest/location/etc. It just makes you look dumb when you flame others, and just beacuse u might win in a flame war won't make anyone look up to u. I didn't bother posting anthing for 2 months beause flame wars were springing up all over the forums over nothing. Try to act mature and not make anyone think less of you. laterz peeps.

drewster2100 Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 i couldnt agree with you more, although i myself am 16. I find myself wasting my time reading posts that are useless, and dont help at all. thats part of the reason neowin has gone to crap (IMHO) neowin used to be much better... but it grew...

I find myself wasting my time reading posts that are useless, and dont help at all. thats part of the reason neowin has gone to crap (IMHO) neowin used to be much better... but it grew... Yeah I agree, do I care if people are liberal of conservative, NO! Do i care how people think about Evolution or Creationism, NO! All those posts are useless, and more like them are happening at an alarming rate. Do i care about alarming prophecies that concern the immeidate future of our planet??? NO!, because they don't deal with technical stuff. I would go to other forms to discuss these issues, not Neowin. They always end with rants and flames before they are closed.

vraa Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 i guess we live and learn from out mistakes and i have learned a lot from neowin 1. Don't bring in facts that are irrelevent. 2. Honda Oddesy's aren't loved. :D 3. There will always be people who love Intel. 4. Same with AMD. 5. Mods aren't people you flame to.. period.. oh hey Space Guy.. i see ur from Sugar Land also.. where.. I am in New Territory.. i'm 14. BTW, have you seen K3G?

Deryck Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Actually, I find those forums quite interesting but they only go on about their own opinion and drag on and on. It is actually a waste of time and remember, it is a COMPUTERING SITE not of science or whatever else. In addition, it just sickens me of people who just feel so loyal to such a product (or trolls), I can dismiss Linux individuals, but people who just love Intel and AMD. Who cares?

Jon Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Whilst occasionally I'll post something slightly er sh*te (and osiris, that doesnt include the CV thread..), I do often look at the front page's 'recent forum posts' and it reminds me of this: When I was at college, inbetween lectures, sat at a PC, with nothing to do. Its like half the kids on here just start threads about random crap coz they are bored. Like 'what are you listening to now' or 'what colour pants are you wearing'. Its nice to have a community, but those kinda threads do make me wonder :paranoid: (Yes I'm ****ed, but I'm glad there are people thinking the same as me. I guess in the grand scheme of things, its cool that the kids have neowin to post sh*te on, I wish I had it back then!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortensen Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 I'm 16 and I post reasonable content most of the time.... in fact YaddaMe, you are responsible for posting offbase comments here about all the young people. LMAO. Look at it this way... when you go to a cinema to see Star Wars: Episode II you are going to enjoy it, and the kids are going to enjoy it, but you enjoy it in different ways. Just because they are younger and think in a different way doesn't mean that you have to spoil their fun. And now for something completely different: BOO!

atomoverride Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 I think I have the solution to our problems. ban any ip address from AOL. if all websites and isp's started doing that, maybe we could get rid of the newbies. This is just my two cents. It would be alot of work but worth it I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesseract Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 I don't have the time to read all the replies to this thread, so here are my thoughts and suggestions: Members of this community, whether it be a thirteen year old or a thirty year old, like to discuss anything that is on their minds. People have the right to do that. Some of the comments that have been made on topics like this, however, have led to the thread being closed by the mod due to degrading comments. For goodness sakes, people, please do not start another flame war over this or any other thread. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eth3l Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 I agree and would add that the NeoWin Mods should BAN TO HE|_|_ signature files over a certain size. One of the most irritating things is to have someone post a one word respose with a HUGE signature file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 I must admit, if you dont have broadband, some of the sigs on here could be pretty annoying. I've got adsl now, but not so long ago, 56k was pretty painful on the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please do not take "15 lines" as the gospel, that is just a general estimation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
