Am I the only one who is disappointed in AT right now?

[So]

this thread just makes me shake my head

This is not the first, nor the worst, but it seems to me that the sheer level of ignorance of technical issues, as well as the sheer volume of ignorance around here has skyrocketed?

🙁

Where's hisenberg when you need him?

(I know how fast he's going, but I have no clue where he is 😉)

 

[J0hnny]

If you knew where he was, you wouldn't know how fast he would be going would you!!?!?!?!!?!

And why does that particular thread make it seem like the collective intelligence has decreased?

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

eh...if THAT makes you feel disappointed, you haven't read half the other threads...

 

[Last Rezort]

I know what you mean. Also, there has been a surprising lack of cool people like you and me. Shame really, i wish i had more people to relate to, and im sure you do too.
I love being super cool, but somtimes its a drag.

So much misinformation it's painful. People with beliefs that are built entirely on crackpot ideas. As I said, it's not just that thread, it's all around here.

It does seem that there used to be a lot of knowledgeable people around here (roger is first to my mind). Now, when you ask a question, you can count on 90% of the replies being useless or "why would you want to do that" type posts.

So, I'm with you.

See? See?

This and 'PENGUIN' in all caps is what passes for a witticism around here.

:beer: guys.

 

[meltdown75]

sweet, a bash the kiddies / n00bs thread.

unfortunately, i can't relate. i only know what i've experienced since my join date. some members talk of ATOT as if it was some grand paradise in the past and it has degenerated into a nursery or playground for (mostly young) idiotic lamers. newsflash: it's still an internet forum.

i lurk on one other very busy forum, and it is puke compared to this one. so in relative terms, it's not so bad here imho. a lot of people seem to simply not post anymore, which is pretty snobby if you ask me. rather than inject their own "1337"ness into the forum, they sit back and let it get taken over by n00bs.

i don't know. i'm not qualified to comment.

Oh, and to Calin's credit, he is in there, trying to correct that thread. :beer:

 

[Juice Box]

I know what you mean!

 

[hypn0tik]

I just browse ATOT and post random stuff here because it gives me some damn good laughs. It's just an all round fun place to be online.

Reading crackpot ideas and misinformation has its merits. :laugh:

Hey man it's okay...just relax and let the mind numbing take it's place. You'll feel much better... 😉

 

[K1052]

Not really.

When I see something clearly wrong/incorrect posted that I know something about I try to reason with the poster(s) in a calm and informative manner. Usually most posters are willing to concede that they might be wrong when presented with a some proof and a rational argument.

I only get testy when they cling to their ignorance or bias as if their very lives depended on it.

who were you before you were banned? 😉

[Qwest]

i dont mind the thread linked to in the OP. it's threads about people discussing toilet seat covers or pubic hairs on urinals that's troubling.
