Here's what new posters can't seem to grasp.... If you want to know how to do something... understand that chances are, you're NOT going to get it right away....
Reach out to a few folks... at the very least you'll get ignored, but it's possible they will give you a members name to PM. Now, in all likelyhood, you're not going to get a response, and if you DO, it's likely going to be something dismissive.
NOT the point
They've noticed you now... so now you start participating in discussions. How you act, what you post, the intelligence (or lack thereof) and clarity of the concepts you attempt to convey.... THESE are going to be your 'Forum Cred'... post like a Ritalin addled fucktard, and that's how everyone is going to treat you.... congratulations.. you just pissed away any chance you had of earning positive feedback.
But if you actually manage to surprise fellow Members with something insightful, helpful, or coherent..
Someone with a post-count you can tally without taking off your shoes demanding exploits publicly?
