The elite Members Idee

[QuiX]

Do you think the elite member idee is a good one?

[twoface]

Great Idea...It makes people want to participate and share to be part of it.

I put no, don't think there is such a thing unless you are a part of divine-fairlight-class-FLT-Etc... we are all really just leechers of their stuff.  Just becuase we can find stuff and and upload it really doesn't make us much better than anyone else. I personally haven't actually purchased the stuff I upload.  I too am a leech but I share.  Thats all you could ask.  Remember we were all once newbies and learned the ropes by others help. What makes warez communities work is that we all work together.  If peeps want to think they are better than others they tend not to share to everyone and then its just a waste and one day a newbie will be better than you and won't share with you.

I think its sorta a good idea.  I mean certain people who are helpful, informative and things like that, deserve to have a few FTP's listed that are a little more faster and reliable than the rest. I'm not just saying that because I am one either.

Fine with me, fuck 'em if they can't take a joke. Too many newbies that don't know how to unrar a bloody file or don't know the difference between an ISO and a ZIP, and spam the forums asking questions they could easily attain answers for from a FAQ using a simple search engine, and causing all the pubs to clog up for those of us that do know how, should EARN the elite status, and work their way up like the rest of us have.
I've been in computers for over 22 years now since before the net had a gui, and all i've seen from the kiddies in the last 15 years is laziness. Sound harsh? It's true.  8)
I say the elite is a good idea, an old idea, but still a good one.
Cheers quix for the idea.

[shadow=grey,left,300] I will soon be adding a few more elite members.[/shadow]

[N.E.R.D]

i think the elite members is a good idea,(not that i'm one) but it would be fair to give the ones who aren't elite a totorial so they don't have to ask questions again, so no stupid posts, ONLY GAME LINKZ right?
think about it  

ps: what do u have to do to become an elite  

[QuiX]

This is the only section that people read

Sorry If I offend anyone. I too have been using computer  now for about 20 year myself and thought I was cool when I had a vic 20 then a C64 then amiga then a 286. Actually I spend pretty many hours week on here.  Its not that I wouldn't consider myself elite.  I just don't see no need for it.  I myself know pretty much of the computer world and have a couple thousand cds of crap most I don't ever use of even look at it almost seems senseless.  As for the kids of today they are awsome some of them can do sh*t I wish I knew when I was there age.  I have a 18 daughter that can make some cool lookin web sites and now she wants to learn gaming and my son 13 wants me to teach him the ropes of warez but I won't.  I know everyone hates a newbie and like to flame them.  As for them hammering sites its like that for the old peeps too. Everyone wants the new stuff NOW before its released in the stores. It like tossing a girlscout with a new box of cookies in a prison of rapists everyone wants to be the first to get her and have the cookies to prove it.  Thats not for me I usually get everything I could ever want I go to the stores knowing I never had to buy a app or cd or movie why would I want to become more eliter than that. I haven't boughten a game app or cd in years and I have 4 cpus filled with stuff. I've had my own site too and got the same questions then as we do now. If you don't like all the questions don't answer them they are just trying to learn.  Here's another thought keep a text file of the stuff you keep repeating and just copy and paste the reply.  

     Like I said before sorry If I offended anyone.

Theirs no excuse for the n00bs to post questions like "What do I do now" or claim that a FTP doesn't work just because they don't know how to properly login. Theirs a bloody section DEVOTED to them for that, they shouldn't do it in the rest of the boards, wasting OUR time, and just serving to piss us off.

However, a nice comprehensive FAQ is a good idea, and whenever the n00bs ask a stupid question, all we reply with is a link to the FAQ, and then ignore them.  *shrug* just idle thoughts

[pedro_fl]

if you ask me, dosn't make any difference, why put aside some ppl right now? only because they can't put stuff?? maybe for now they can't, but in a month or so, who says??

[QuiX]

I'm not putting them aside. Not at all. If they al do something in a moth they get Elite status

I've also got kids the same ages as yours (both daughters though)  8)
Vic20, that brings back memories, Atari STe, Mega STE, TT030, geez.. even Tandy 1000. Back when i ran a couple of different BBS's, one for RatSoft Labs™ and other beta/new authored software, and another as the main host for the western hemisphere for Atari and PC warez not to mention a huge cheats & cracks board lol, oh yea.. those were the days when upgrading from my 120 modem to a 300baud was rockin' and me and another guy across town were the only ones that even HAD modems, no one else had even heard of them at the time where we lived. Remember HST duallies?  8)

You're not getting the point though, i'm not saying i hate n00bs, just the lazy-ass ones that can't do anything for themselves and want everything handed to them, they oughta be taken out back and shot.
I'm not saying all the kiddies are lazy either, just the lazy ones.
"N.E.R.D." is a prime example of what i'm talking about.
