Here are a few things, that you and I, see quite often on forums, such as, NextGenUpdate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You must login or register to view this content.



4. Click, "thanks," post, "thanks."

This almost happens once in every second thread that I have seen.

A user will graciously thank a user's post, and then, he/she will quote that member, and give a nice, little, kind, "thanks for this post!" Or, simply, "thanks!"

Why thank somebody twice for the same thing? Send them a nice PM, or message them in the shoutbox!

3."Buy this!" "Selling that!"

This can be found very often in the NextGenUpdate shoutbox. This happens almost everyday. People will sit in the shoutbox, saying stuff like, "Selling game share slots, 500k vbux! SBPM!" I for one am absolutely guilty of this.

Honestly, if you want something to sell, you're better off just making a thread. I for one, have found threads and the auction section to be, well, more of an efficient way to sell things.. Who knew?

2."Just use the search button!"

This type of situation can mostly be found in the Playstation, and/or Xbox 360 exploits and hacks section. Also, the questions.

Many people, sometimes referred to "leechers" will come on here, and ask some of the most simplest, yet stupid questions to annoy us. You ask, "why cant you use the search bar?!" But, they never listen.

These types of people-Leechers, will come to the shoutbox, or make a thread, claiming/asking three things.

  1. I have the link to 3.xx+ CFW!!!!
  2. Does anyone have the link to the 3.xx+ CFW?
  3. Is there a 3.xx+ CFW?


1.Random groans/posts.

Many people on this website, will randomly go to a thread, may be yours, may not, and just post the silliest things. Or, if they disagree, they will "groan" your post. Stupid? Yes/no, you decide.

There's no need to post on a PS3 hacks and exploits thread, saying something like, "thats not what your mom said last night! OoOoOoO!!!! :carling:"


Thanks for reading.

Well, I see where you are coming from, and you're right. But, this thread was made for all forums in general, I just referred to NGU, because all of us are familiar with it.

Im sure a 1000 other members have had to deal with these things one time or another and havent made a thread about it


Well, it's not really intended to be a 'rant.' I made this to point out a few things that occur in allot of the major forums. I've also added my own opinion on these 4 points. Any who, your opinion is just as justified as mine.

Ah, looks are deceiving then. Still, there have been many people, including myself, who have dealt with these problems or "mistakes"
Its human nature really.


Indeed, but, the one I have a problem with is that, the people who join and immediately ask for CFW in the SB, they don't even bother searching. But then again, who knows what their problem is, other than themselves?
