 What And What Not To Post
Ok I have been using The Futuremark forms back from the Madonion days. Most people that use theses forums are gamers or atleast I hope so cause why would an ordinary pc user need to benchmark his system. So many times I see threads like " best pop up blocker for Firefox" or " How to I speed up XP?". So many others threads like these can be avoided if you simple use the internet for what it was intended on. "Information". I found another thread about "How do I benchmark Quake 4". Have any of you people who posted these threads tried looking this stuff up in Google first. I know most of us post things to get user opions but come on now people. I have posted things also such as "what is the best torrent". But things like that are hard to find in Google. I am sorry if I sound like a jerk but instead of posting something you can research yourself then do it.If your in this forum then you should have some good experience under your belt about pc's and tweaking Windows. After I reformat the first thing I do is shut off undeeded services, shut off anything I dont need in msconfig. Stop Windows messenger from working completely. Tweak my IP settings. I guess my point of this thread is that with the internet you have the world at your fingertips. You no longer need to go to the library to research things. Why do we have those "search bars" in our browsers then. Are they there just to look pretty. No they are there to help us search for things we need the answers on. Thanks people.

Think of what this site is. A benchmark site. So if your in this site you should have a clue on how your pc works. No ordinary person even knows what a benchmark is for.

I know its an open forum but no one stumbles upon this site unless they know what "benchmarking" is.

Well I added FM to the Stumble upon database a log time ago. So the chance someone quite literally stumbles in here is quite significant. |

Read my post. I know there is more then benchmarking here. But just do alittle homework first before posting a thread. Thats my point. |

I think rants like this should not be posted, sure you could google nearly everything asked here... but this is a community, and people come to it for advice. I did not finish your post anyway, I started feeling a little vomit in my throat, and decided against the last few lines. Oh, Merry Christmas![xmasthumbup]

google is filled with spam, posting here for a specific problem is faster and has a certain amount of "quality control" ((at least after AF1 has been banned) |

Difference is you can actually get someone's opinion/user experience on FM. Maybe even some extra advice or whatever.

It's worse when people who aren't mods, think they are. If you don't like it, go google another forum.

Obviously non of you fully read what I said. I know most of us on on here for opions but when you ask a question that you can research the answer for yourself why bother. Opions and answers are 2 different things.Isnt the internet called " the information super highway" So then use it like it is designed for. Gezzz when we were all kids werent we told to do our homework by ourselves first before seeking help.
