Whenever I post in the right forum when I need help, it never gets replied to. However, if I post it here, it gets answered right away, even though it's in the wrong forum. It's pretty fvcking sad when you go to a tech site and the tech forums are the ones least active.

Guess that says a lot about how big of n00bs we all really are. 😛

Edit: The question is in Operating Systems, please help me out. 🙂

youre posting in the wrong forum, tech people lurk its not like OT

Honestly though, you'd think after about 50 threads at least one would get a decent amount of replies and help me out, but nope. Not one bit. And most of the people who reply are people who frequent OT.
 
even in the correct forums, this place is still pretty quick to answer usually. Many others take at least a day for an answer to a simple question. We're just really spoiled by ATOT.

Honestly, you'd think that after 50 threads you might buy a book or go to school or something...😉

 
The tech forums used to be extremely active, but then I got bored with them and stopped visiting them, and as a result, activity there has declined significantly.

Haha... if I had to spend the time it takes to read a book on some of the miniscule/obscure questions I've asked, I'd be pissed. Usually it's just simple stuff that people can answer in 5 seconds, and it takes a good 25 minutes for the thread to get 5 views.
 
You need to link to your question for easy access. Also, I usually just post everything in the General Hardware where it usually gets answered more quickly, only once in a while do people bitch about it being in the wrong forum.

Nah, I actually posted this a couple days ago when I had a different question. I just figured this would be a good way to get it noticed. I don't like posting in the wrong forum because I usually get more wrong forum posts than I do helpful posts.

Okay. I went over to that other forum and had a look at your miniscule/ obscure question.

I know what I would do, but I am pretty sure that u r screwed. Heh heh...
