Quote: "someone is itching to be a mod"
lol.. quite the opposite!! Lol. As much as I respect the mods and their job, there is very little that would convince me to do it. Its almost a joyless job. You always have to act like the bad guy; locking people's threads, banning and n00b slapping people...
@Powersoft - its nice to see I'm not alone.
IMHO, you stop being a noob when you stop bashing them and when you start acting like a mature person with an IQ above that of a pile of cow dung (almost an insult to bacteria).
As much as this anti-noob thing was a joke, its made things a million times worse. One thing I've learned about the public is that, generally speaking, they're thick. I dont mean in a noob way, but I mean in a "I dont get what a joke is" kind of way. The public is made up of people who write in to the BBC to complain about a TV program when it would have taken an infinitley less amount of energy to either change channel or switch off the TV. The public is full of people who are itching to be on big brother; their lives are so empty and they are in such need of attention they want to publically humiliate themselves in the name of "entertainment". The public is full of people who blindly follow a group of other people who dont think about the consiquences of their actions.
This forums is meant to be a learning and helping tool. Those who dont want to help out in that way should bugger off somewhere else. There are loads of other phpBB forums which people have made. Maybe they could release their own one where they can go stew.
I still cant see what was wrong with this thread to start with. Its a genuine question.
