GP:
You're still stuck on thinking this forum is anything like the mass of losers out there on most forums.

We don't have that many people, but I am being completely literal when I say that us forumers would race to post the fastest and most complete answers.
90% of them would be answered within 30 minutes, 24/7. There were a handful of memorable ones that were posted at 11:46, and answered at 11:46, 11:47, 11:49 and 11:50. With the latter posts being edited to say "Argh, I type too slow".
The thread would then fill up with posts about minor related details and corrections.
Then the posts would turn to strategies and tactics that were related to the subject, before finally fading out.

All because somebody asked "What does armor do?", there would be a deluge of info about all the types of armor, their side effect bonuses, the weapons used to defeat them, when it is worth researching them, and which combat strategy is best used with them.

Given your posts lately, you apparently have a very low opinion of us. While we did have issues between you and the forumers on that one unforgettable weekend, it is time to get over it. That was not personal; we would have responded the same to anybody who tried to do the same thing.

Since you can't really take our word for it, in this one case unfortunately, the only option in this case is to "look it up" yourself. Sorry

Compared to something like the counterstrike forums, you will see orders of magnitude fewer people, orders of magnitude faster and infinitely more useful answers.

Interesting theory but way off the mark. I have no low opinions of this forum and the people in it. Quite the contrary. Someday in a forum far far away I might fill in the blanks. But I totally recognize this as one of the great communities on the net.

Counter-Strike forums? *Running away in horror*
