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

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.

Your comment was almost as stupid, pointless, and ugly as the shemale in your signature. Please find a brain in your head and use common sense. Would he really spend time to get +5 rep points from people o.O I mean cmon, get a life man, if you don't have anything better to do than bag on people trying to help other people out, then you have some serious issues.


To be relevant with this post- Thanks Granny for the advice Smile

That's fine, at least you have a reason. But, just to clarify, I wasn't moaning. I asked Enzo what that was for, because clearly, it was misuse.

Thanks, but, I don't see what you're saying, the thread is pointless, what people do?

Seems more like a "Welcome to this shithole" thread.
