In defending myself, these hate filled name callers just take it and run with it untill its become some school cafeteria insult fest. Ive recieved alot of help on these forums and have learned alot here, but Ive seen some really immature posts and replies latley. Whats going on?

Ill take this as a from of hazing. anyways I may be a noob on atot but I am not inexperienced in the world or computers. In the future I will mind the fact that this place is like a car dealership being run by a rag-tag group of teenagers, with a few good people thrown in. If any of you have ever worked at a car dealership you will know what im talking about.

Maybe it is time for the mods to step in, vacation or ban some of the haters here.

ATOT would be a better place without them.

Do a search on the words "hate" and "kill".

GEBFA n00b

Seriously though, whiner, if you ask a question in ATOT, expect to get bashed, and also expect an answer. Its all part of the fun...I find anyways. Even if someone posts that they want to commit suicide, most of the time they are encouraged to, suggestions on how to do it are often tossed out there as well.

Relax.

I've noticed that n00bs seem to come here and rather than blend in and just start talking to people and replying in threads that interest them they post these inane threads that just scream LOOK AT ME!!! I'm a n00b and I have nothing to say!!!

Then they get offended when people tell them to STFU. Go figure.

Bwhahaha.. so true..

this is off-topic. people come here to post fast one-word replies to get their post count up. if you are looking for real help, go to one of the other forums.

that said, it is sad. when i joined, i posted in OT about computer related stuff. I was in the process of building my first comp and was a complete noob. but people in OT still helped me out.

They can't vent off their steam in real life for fear of reprisal so this becomes their release.

Honestly... I'm quite sure you will eventually find their mild psychosis amusing.
Or your pompous asshattery annoying;)
