Let me explain it to you.......
[QUOTE=Pwr Rngr]That's a shame. If we are all in this together, I wonder what the problem is with helping out someone who is new.[/QUOTE]
When you join a new group of people for any reason be it a church group, a new job, boy scouts, shooting club ad infinitum.
You cannot come in blazing, you must observe and see what the general level of tolerance of the group is. See what the group accepts or denies and then gently enter the discussion.
Watch any group of dogs or single dog when another dog enters the territory, they smell each other and get a sense of the other dog, thats exactly what the board does, once you've posted and smell good your trusted and accepted, this takes awhile.
One of the things this group resents is when someone joins and immediately starts asking questions before they post any useful information. This may be right or it may be wrong, it doesn't really matter it is the way it is and probably won't change.
This particular member signed up on the day he posted his question.
There is an enormous amount of info on here and lists of people to see and not see, I'm sure one of these girls will be to your liking.
If a girl hasn't been reported on, either no one has seen her or she just wasn't worth writing about or the member didn't have a great time but he doesn't want to trash the girl etc. or the member hasn't gotten time to do it. Personally if I'm not thrilled I give it a couple of days to see if it was something coming off me or we didn't click
It isn't that this board doesn't want new members of course it does, the more shared information the better. This board is like a family, warts and all, there are disagreements, squabbles, name calling etc., etc. but the bottom line is we are all safer and much better informed than if it didn't exist.

Wasn't referring to you specifically......

Oh and for your genius's saying this is my first post this is actually my seventh just my first in a while!
Thank you![/QUOTE]
I wasn't referring to you but rather to "mugenn' who signed on, on 3-18-09 and the first post on that same day was a question. However the information applies to you as well.
You of course are an old timer, you signed on 3-8-08. and have posted a whopping 7 times in a year.
With your attitude and inability to learn and keep your mouth shut, you will not get much co-operation here. You didn't listen to my post at all, just wanted to show off, show me how smart you were and tell the board off. If your so angry at how the board works--go someplace else, nobody asked you to sign up.
I do give you credit for one thing , you do recognize a genius when you see one. LOL.---VS
Make the Most of the Forum
I travel a lot internationally and use forums like this one to learn about what is available in a particular city. One feature that I have found helpful is printing out the forum, putting it into a binder and reading it offline. You can do that by going to Thread Tools and chosing the print option. If I find a post that might need some clarification, I PM the poster and ask nicely.
Very Eloquently stated, HOWEVER. . .
Although VS always gives sage advise, what about a positive suggestion to the newbie providers in the attractions area? (obviously we can handle a less subtle approach than this particular gentleman)
Thanks for your time and consideration.
