Jbone: This belongs in the Off Topics forum.

Anyway, newb's or not, people are ignorant at heart and too highly hasty.
I wouldn't say that, as this is related to AMVs, and the Off-Topic forums are so stupid and inane through lack of moderatiohn that they're completely and utterly useless for any form of rational, intelligent conversation.

Ignorance is one thing. Stupidity is completely different.

Ignorant people want to learn. Stupid people want their hands held.

It's the stupid people who piss everyone off.

Some people get pissed off when you expect them to *gasp* do a little reading and research to find an answer. I believe these are the people that most here are complaining about.

And, personally, I have better things to do than hold someone's hand as they make their first video.

If someone doesn't understand the guides, it means that person does not have the rudimentary knowledge and/or common sense needed to do what the guides tell them to do. In such a case, what one needs to do is [erform some research and learn to udnerstand what the guides say to do. Posting generically "CAN SUM1 PLZ HEL PME I DUN UNDRSTAN THE GIDES" (in so many words) makes one seem like they want their hand held, and aren't willing to do any of the work they ultimately must if they want to produce anything even remotely watchable.

Ok I figured out what the guides meant after *researching* and I have everything I need. Now all I have to do Is make it......

I think it's my turn to disagree There are a few things in the guides that i do not understand...mainly regarding Hardware material...
And I wound consider myself a total fucktard just cuz i don't get some pointers...
some that you would probably consider...basics...And even if I AM a fucktard...i'm here tryin to learn...and improve...you should not flame the first guy that appears and asks a rather Beatleheaded question...
of course some of them just piss us of...i can see that...

this may be my only chance to correct jbone ever so here goes:

YOU SPELT INSANE WRONG ITS NOT INANE!!


wow that felt really good
adopt a newbie is a great idea, when they sign up they get paired with a creater who helps them out until they become good enough to adopt their own newbie.

I never said that someone who doesn't understand some pointers is "a total fucktard," as you so eloquently put it. Rather, someone like that is either ignorant (if he or she desires to research and learn how to understand those pointers) or stupid (if he or she wants someone to practically do all the work for them).

I see no flaw in your point Of View However i am inclined to say That You Are Very HArsh with some of newb's(I can understand that..but sometimes you over react) that was the whole point of my post...
didn't mean no disrispect as i never do...And i When i USe the Word FUckTard i do it...With The purpose to MAke my speech Eloquent..if the word bothers you I am sorry...truly

And i Wanted to know..What your point of view Was..concerning The Idea of Adopting a newbie...cuz i think it's pretty good
