Re: Helping a friend
While I agree the level of rage is unwarranted and that we're tired of adbots, it's not so much that there's a rift between new members and.... whaddaya call 'em, 'elite' members?... as much as it is that there's an introduction thread that many seem to not notice/care about, and they just go right about posting threads that needn't be. Like I said, the level of rage is unwarranted, but if someone isn't going to take the time to introduce themselves, or at least try to ease into our community before making requests (outside of the Hentai Finder thread, of course), then it kinda shows that they don't give a damn about us.
Luigis, if you judge all of us based off of the impression Iggy and Oni gave you..... then perhaps it is best to leave. I'd prefer it if you introduced yourself properly and became acquainted with the community, as new members are always welcome, but if you're going to be that quick to judge a community based on two or three members, then perhaps this isn't the place for you.
As for helping your friend..... you're right, we don't have to do anything, and since I don't know you or your friend, I won't.
See, guys, it's that simple. I know it's your thing and all to rage at newbies, but ya'll went overboard.
