If you can't help, don't ****ing post.

There are many people here wo do want to help newbies. I find myself avoiding the newbie section, purely because of the enivitable number of :search: posts that there will be, and any help I do give probably won't be seen because they have already been annoyed by all the search posts.

I thought the :search: had been banned in the newbie section and was to be reserved only for the main forums. :p :D

send Zip-Lock an email or pm with the link o this thread...

I was looking at gsturbo.com like someone posted above, and it's pretty nice. It lacks some of the features like blogs, news, etc, but all of that could be coded pretty easily! And I really like that feature mookie is working on! Keep it up guys, I've been thinking the same things for a long time! I get tired of spending hours everyday trying to read through all the crap!

I agree with the search thing. Luckily I haven't been bombarded with a barrage of the :search: posts yet but honestly, searching has gotten to be a real PITA. When you search and get 14 pages of results find a topic that may be what you need then have to read through 7 pages of discussion usually about off topic stuff you just give up. I don't mind the off topic discussions theyre usually entertaining just make it damn near impossible to find what you want unless you know the exact wording to use.

but, please... no pics in the signature :lol:

I couldn't agree more.
BTW, Ziplock is the site owner.

I agree 100%, we need an active admin, just some assistant admin to run the site, since Zip-Lock seems to busy.

Just keep talking, he and the rest of us are listening.

Awhile back I had actually started dev work on a mp3car member's system to post system specs, pictures, etc... but due to work and other things I had to stop workign on it... the code is garbage and would need to be totally redone

I do have some time now to work on something so if Zip / everyone is really interested in doign something I'm sure there is something we could come up with :)

I would totally support a web portal! :o
I would even write a long FAQ on laptop setups and laptop LCD extensions ;)
