just have to vent

is there a reason people dont use the search feature before asking about co2 in the mag? i mean there wer 3 posts on the front page in the teck forum at one time asking how to use co2 in a mag. there are so many threads about this that it shouldnt be that hard to find. i'm not trying to affend anyone but i just dont understand. it is the same ansure over and over and over.

now i feel better thanks for your time.




i just did a serch for the teck forum with the word "co2" and it gave 7 replys in the front page of the results that deal with this sole toppic. i really dont understand.

Ahhh, the old "search feature" question.

Glad that I am not the only one who feels that way.... but at least people are not attacked for saying it.... any more.

2 things come to mind:lazy and post count

[talls]

Haha that is exactly what I was thinking not an hour ago

[personman]

I would have to agree with you guys.. If I had a quarter for every post about how to use co2 in mags, I would be able to buy Airgun Designs!

I agree completly it makes me mad that there two lazy to do a search and all they do is clog the forums with info that has been posted many times.

Hmmmm... I didn't learn about post count and search until I hit my 600th post (pre-reset)

[OldSchoolMag]

Foo, how DID you get reset, by the way?

Most of the questions asked can be answered by a previous post. Plus, if you see something old that you like, just post on it and it will come to the top.

About a year ago, the site crashed, deleting peoples, names, accounts, and post numbers. Some were affected, and some were not, i was. But AO is back better than ever now. w00t w00t!

I was reset because webby was complaining about my constant posting... He wanted me to slow down.

[Predater]

Im glad im not alone. and i hope im not reset because ive already hit 288 posts since january. now i understand the repetitive posts on weird leaks. its just things that are very common questions like the co2 thing. it was just having 3 posts on the front page at one time that set me off.

[TheBigRaguPB4L]

say the word post count and foo is there. i seldom do searches(cause i already know so much ), but a lot of the times when i do, it either says no matches or there's 1000 of them. i'm never too good with the searches, but most common things are posted a lot that it should be easy to find. it's just that a lot of people don't want to go through all of that to find out what they want to know. it could be right there and take almost no effort to get the info, but still people just don't take the time to look. i think we all do this in one way shape or form. maybe not here, but in other places or instances, i think we do.

Sometimes it's just easier to ask the question... than to find it. But yeah, there are particular questions that have been beat to death...
