If you haven't got anything nice to say don't say anything!

this is just like the labour party...

why not help first then flame later

It lacks impact. It's like waiting until someone has left the restaurant before asking them to pay for a meal. There's far less likelihood that they'll pony up.

With better looking people!

link fail/pedant fail

shocking.
that'll learn me.

i have to say this is probs the most agressive forum i have been on haha, but it doesent really matter to me as i dont post much i just sit back and laugh at the banter.

Aggressive? How dare you, sir.
Pistols at dawn?

Too early? How about half 10?

Its almost 11.30 now...

Pistols at George Robey. 1976.

How long does it take until you are not classed as a newbie, is there a certain amount of time or is it just untill you stop asking stupid questions, like this one?

Tomorrow.. obviously.. if I've not got some pie to eat or something.

It's based on a combo of reduced stupid question asking and beer purchasing.

i know a lot of you have got too much time on your hands and are looking for something to type

Indeed they have, the inane posting for the sake of it is more annoying than the 'tards asking idiotic questions.

for those who can't help but click the reply button, maybe join a few other forums and expand your knowledge.

failing that, go out and get a job/go for a ride/go down the trocadero with a pocketfull of 10p

I think you're a numpty newbie if you're asking uneducated questions, and you're a grumpy oldie if you feel you know so much that you no longer can bring yourself to be in the same environment as the newbies and no longer even try and let others who possess patience and understanding help the newbies before wading in with rudeness.

Everyone in-between is decent and cool.

I dream of a pie that never ends.

I am all for new members of this forum. 10,000 members is a wonderful tribute to VB even if 50% of them are Object and OOL in different guises.

New members should, however, use this site properly. If they want advice, there is plenty already here. They are more likely to pick up useful tips by using the search rather than posting inane questions. There is a very good thread telling new members how to use this site. No harm in reminding them providing that it is done in a loving way. That is what Balki is for.

My first post on this forum was asking advice about an unknown squeaking noise my bike was making. Balki said it was probably mice.

Not a flame, this is a very common problem with hipsters.

I'll happily be an in-betweener then!

Ignorance, the root and the stem of every evil.

I thought it was funny. And I appreciated his username (being a fan of Perfect Strangers in the 80s).

Ignorance, the fork and headset of every evil.

Presumption is the mother of all fuck ups!
