After reading the fisrt few lines, I prefer the video posted earlier, still, an interesting, well thought out document, if you have a couple of hours, or just skim, you'll still get a good laugh!

How To Ask Questions The Smart Way

Apparently, when people are linked to this site for guidance on how to ask questions, they try to contact the authors... don't do that

"Don't ask us questions. We'll just ignore you. We are here to show you how to get help from people who actually know about the software or hardware you're dealing with"

On rudeness:
"Much of what looks like rudeness in hacker circles is not intended to give offense. Rather, it's the product of the direct, cut-through-the-bull$h!t communications style that is natural to people who are more concerned about solving problems than making others feel warm and fuzzy."

"The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search: gps":banghead::banghead::banghead:


ok.... can this be fixed, I'm sure there are many 3 letter words/acronyms/etc. that would prove useful in a search. Not sure if it is hard coded or if admins have access to this setting.

I've had the same issue with searching for 3 letter words or less. I think the best way to get around that is to use site specific search in google.

If you go to google.com, and in the search area type in "gps site:www.600cc.org" (without the quotes), it will search only the forum and bring all the posts with the said words in it. Hope this was helpful!
 
Since its spring we have many new riders joining us and most of them don't know the rules. I suggest we have a must-read thread of rules before you're allowed to register. It can be short because I bet many old people don't wanna sift through 100 rules. I used to play so many MMORPG's and to join a clan was the worst thing in the world. They gave you like two pages of rules and in those two pages was two phrases that were hidden. You had to look well to find them and if you didn't you weren't allowed to join. I'm not saying go extreme but at least have an empty box in registration form that says.

Read and write rule number blah on the rules thread:
The answer would be...
Use search to find information before creating a new thread.

Also I suggest we put the search button on a black and yellow caution tape background.

I f$%king hate small talk...

Woops double comment, sorry I was gonna copy paste and edit the reply above.
 
I haven’t heard the word “search” being used in a long time. It has been most likely replaced by google (or bing in Redmond, WA vicinity). Some of the younglings are confused.

Ok, I'm gonna say it...Is there a reason people aren't using the 'Search' feature of the forum before starting a new thread on already discussed topics? There is a lot of good information already posted on this forum and to start a new thread on the same topic asking the same questions...:confused:

If I'm totally off base with this gripe, I apologize in advance. :surrender:

Wasn't there already a thread posted on this?:p
 
Tag you're it!

Also, if people will simply add tags (or let a mod know, can't tell if anyone can add tags), then the tag map becomes very useful... tags also don't seem to have the four letter limit, as in use tag search for gps and it pulls up all thread tagged with gps. The tag map also has a size indicator, to show number of threads, right now, Fender Eliminator is the top as it is the largest.

Hope this helps!

I agree with you... we don't need any more new thread. I've seen new thread popping out like it's getting out of style lately.
 
I have been seeing a lot of duplicate threads and i will be merging the lot in the next few days.

For those of you who read this.

To make searching more user friendly please follow these steps:

1. With in the dark blue bar above, go to Search and left click.

2. scroll down to and click on advanced search.

3.Just under Search Forums you see "Search by keyword" Type in your subject I.E. Insurance

4. Just under that there is a drop down box. It gives you two options. Use "Search Titles Only."

Your search will be narrowed by a 1000x's and is very fast.

Have fun, good luck and please USE IT. I hate cleaning up after my wifes dogs and this is no different :P

Peace out, love ya all. :thumbup:
