how long can this go on?

springfield.45 · Mar 6, 2010

It seems to me that the 15-22 topic is just a little old.

The same questions ever week by new members
Hey guys before you ask SEARCH IT FIRST

What scope/reddot,what bipod,what blah-blah etc...
Sorry just a little to repeatitive for me

I do like this forum and and the people on it and by no means am i trying to offend anyone

Brett248Vista · Mar 6, 2010

It's a forum, it happens on every busy forum.

Sorry not trying to offend you, but, get used to it...

I did, years ago.... It's like trying to get people to use punctuation, grammar and correct spelling.

Some battles just can't be won!

Yup pretty simple don't like the post don't read it. Also not trying to offend you. I remember long time ago doing the same thing. If you feel like answering do it if not don't. It does make a newbie feel unwelcome with a post like this. Not that it is a bad one. Patience is the key.

springfield.45 · Mar 6, 2010

Sorry guys, this is a thread i shouldn't have started.

guess i had to vent a little, my mom will more then likely not make it through the weekend and i'm a little on edge right now.

How does the saying go,
Some people have something to say,and some people just have to say something

Well i just put my foot in my mouth,for i remeber being new once and doing the same and all you guys made me feel welcome

To all new members welcome and pay no attention to the jacka** in the corner(me)

I think once the malfunctions start to decrease, things won't be as bad.

while i am new here, not new to forums though. my thought on this is (no harm intended either because i understand the initial frustration) that posting on the same subject rather than just searching on others is that it brings out new opinions from people who may not have seen/posted on the original post. also there may be new info or new thoughts that were not posted in the previous thread.

just a thought..

Yeah, and, honestly, I don't know which is more aggravating, the repetitive questions or the "search noob" nazis.

Yes, once people learn to load the magazines properly with the proper ammo, things will get better

Sorry to hear about your mom, hope things work out.

Things like that seem to bring to light how meaningless some worldly pursuits really are.

Thanks ladder13, the doc told her last week she has 2 weeks top, Hospice has come in to try to make it as pleasant for her as they can, that's what 60 yrs of smoking will get you.

I think Brett and a couple other folks are helping that effort with the -How To- vids and Sticky notes for easier locating by new Forum members.

As far as accessores.... let's not be too critical of new folks to the Forum and firearms asking repeat questions. In just a mere two threads, Pics and Accessories, there's a mind-blowing 150,000+ views!! There's a bazillion+1 different gadgets in every shape, size and color for the 15-22's whopping 4 feet of 'railestate'. That's what keeps this forum hopping. I find it interesting even if a bit repeat. Whether one finds that 'old' or not is for Forum members to decide each day, right?

A bit off topic... but I am surprised that the operators/owners of this forum don't help try to satisfy the insatiable accessory appetite here via advertisers or an in-house store. The dollars spent on accessories for these rifles has got to be staggering.

Same here!

I don't know what is worse, having to watch someone pass, or like what happened to me, and come home from work and find your Dad on the couch passed away, the world pretty much stopped rotation that day, April 24th 2009 at the age of 63.

So I know what it's like Springfield and prayers for you friend!

Jswiney9 · Mar 6, 2010

my families prayers will be with you and yours.

i agree to you with a point though, people should come in seeking answers like i did and read through the posts. the more you read the more you learn. sometimes its better to help yourself then to come on here crying for help and getting the "read the post below this one" answer.

Brett248Vista · Mar 6, 2010

I too get frustrated at seeing 20 posts of the same thing. But I just decided not to let it get to me because I can't change it. On other forums I frequent it's no different. I'm a car guy too, and on the one car forum I go to, if we haven't had 2000 posts about how to install HID lights, we haven't had any... It's the same thing every day, people will post "How do I install HID lights" and there's a post right below theirs with the same topic...

I've never been a member of the "Use the search feature" camp. I just don't respond...

Four Knives · Mar 6, 2010

Godspeed, Springfield.

Best of hope to your mother and your family.

Panther1911 · Mar 6, 2010
