Kamakazi Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 I am just sitting here and was looking at all the newbie questions (no offense to any new posters) and was wondering couldnt we have a Newbie Help Desk thread where newbies could ask all thier questions and the such........Just one of my stupid ideas I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYR_32 Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 (edited) I don't think thats a stupid idea, it would probably help a lot of new players, alot of them have the same questions and they could find out answers by reading previous posts and they wouldn't have to wait as long for answers about questions that have already been asked. Did any of the stuff I just typed make sense? Edited April 3, 2003 by NYR_32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadgetronica Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Being one of the struggling newbees, I think that's an excellent idea. It was the first heading I looked for. But I wonder who will be reading it to respond with answers. Won't it just attract a bunch of novices like myself? Is it just a case of the blind soldiers leading the blind soldiers?

Kamakazi Posted April 3, 2003 Author Share Posted April 3, 2003 @gadgetronica Yeah I thought of that and I figured that the posters in the forums wouldnt post unless they thougt they knew or knew the answers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.ronin Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 this is probably one of the few, if any, mature forums where that can be pulled up. (imagine trying to pull that off on ubi forums! yeah right.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteKnight77 Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 That is because we strive for professionalism here. We want people to be able to talk about GR, get help for GR and meet up to play GR with people who want to be treated right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Crocodile Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Another newbie issue: DAGRM We need to be polite to newbies that ask about that Mod. I've seen people being real rude to unaware newbies that ask about it. As older members, we should know they dont have a clue about that Mod's history.

This is one of the most mature forums (except for those few people aka the URGays guy) I have ever been to and I salute all the members that post....

phantoms_shadow Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 (edited) Great idea. I love helping and being helped as you can see in most of my posts. (those that are not in humor or the other off-topics) Edited April 4, 2003 by phantoms_shadow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobblers Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Nice idea regards the Noob thread. Would help people a lot, but there are the sticky threads about certain topics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cush1 Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 I think the idea of a newbie thead is great. It would greatly help those who always seem to ask the same question (posting screens, applying sigs for posts, ect.) It wasn't that long ago I was new to the forum and it was sometimes difficult to find the answers quickly. Its really great that everybody in the forums is willing to step up and help people out with the issues their having. jmho. I'll step off the soap box now.... Thanks, Cush1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
