i mostly ignore this forum. not alot to learn and definately not a lot of laughs in the new member/newbie area of 101.
there's a few things going on but mostly its typical message board behavior.
n00b bashing is normal, as virtual anonymity and post count numbers build e-muscles and give regulars clout where they hang out. nothing new here.
its important for newbs to READ and read and read before they post. if they took a couple hours to figure out how this place worked,found and used the search function atleast a little, and realized how casual/part time/basement hackers are initially treated here they wouldnt have to endure the e-wrath of the signs101 "welcoming committee" because they'd have refrained from posting questions that would excite the natives and get them all riled up.
i started in my basement a couple years ago or so with a chinese plotter and a race car to do..and now its how i make my living. And signs101 is a VERY important resource to me as are many of its very generous regular posters. its all about tact, from both sides...
