The Eliminate Repetitive Questions thread!

[lostforawhile]

ok whats this i hear about you can flip your lid? LOL JK, good writeup

[turabaka]

I've noticed that a lot of new members completely disregard the faq and how-to sections. When I first got here that's the first place I went, since it has the most information on what most of the newbies are asking about. I mean a little commons sense goes a long way. If you want to know "how-to" do something then it's probably in the fucking how-to section.

sigh, 2drSE-i..thread<> hopefully your prediction prevails

Lost, that was hilarious, it took me second but it hit me.. LMAO so true

Turabaka, if only all noobs were as good as you were...I mean that in a nice way. there have been some good noobs in the past months, real noobs hahaa , not rejects from other forums, trolls, or poser teasers...or people that don't listen or read worth a shit, they don't even deserve noob status, lol

[Nafs Asdf]

Do I get noob status?

[snoopyloopy]

lol no, don't think you do. and i like how dsmtalk.com does it. they have one section where noobs can be noobs, but the rest of the board in general, they better bring a flame-proof suit and they're liable to get their threads shut.

Thanks for this thread! It's a really good write up. As a noob myself, it helps to make sense of all the terms you pros are throwing around in the performance threads.

I don't feel like I've contributed enough to the site to say how things should be run, but I'll point out that there is so much really awesome info here that it makes searching difficult. For instance, this thread discusses engine swaps. If you do a search for "engine swap," you'll get 500 hits, which seems to be search engine's maximum (ie: there's a lot more hits you aren't seeing). If you don't know that B20 is the search string to use, then you'll be searching for a long, long time.

On the other hand, if you old-timers get ticked off at all the jokers on the site and stop posting, then the cool noobs are seriously hosed.

So please don't be angry!!

That is understandable... But if we have threads like this stickied at the top of sections or something then it is very easy to find the resource, and when most of the information is in one post, which then links to important threads there won't be much need to try sifting through the search engines results.

By no means do we want to scare of new members, but it is frustrating when the same question is getting asked twice a day in seperate threads, this will help eliminate that, and therefore eliminate confused new members.

Dr_Snooz try clicking on 'advance search' then type your item to search, scroll down one block and change it to 'search titles only' instead of 'search all posts' that should cut it down some. Unfortunatley some good info is under random titles sometimes.
There is somegoo gle search too that works on the board too, I have not had to use it yet.

not only that, noobs are liable to get two different answers to the exact same question which starts a whole mini-argument between old members over which way really is better too.

[turabaka]

^^ oddly enough the two different answers are usually right, and both equally as good.

Well questions like that ARE answered in the FAQs, but i do agree that using the basic search feature is nearly useless without going advanced. I am not complaining against the search function, it is just a reflection of all the useless posts on this board

Being a Preluder I hang out on PreludePower.com more than here. I can say for certain that 3geez is much more useful for technical information than PP is. Information here is organized much better than over there. A20A1 did a TON of work in the carb section and it helped me immensely when I was setting up my Weber. Some of the sticky threads could use some maintenance but really they're not all that bad. The first post in this thread was a very good synopsis though.
