Attn Noobs: DO NOT expect any decent replies to your questions...

Lack of responses seems to be an issue on this forum. Most of these people really piss me off because they think they are gods of growing. Everyone had to start at the beginning sometime and they all act as if they are too good to help us. I had to post several times over a period of a few weeks, just to get a freaking response from somebody and they replied with the same smart ass remark "do some research and browse the forums before you start asking noob questions". FUCK YOU PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT!!!!! i guarantee that same person would not enjoy that exact response when thrown their way when they just started out growing. The fact is, that most newcomers do a lot of research on their questions before they ask them (and there are some that don't), but most serious newbies will gather up as much knowledge as possible before diving in head first. Most of the veterans only post in pre-existing threads that have been going on for years...and then you expect the newbies to browse through 1000+ pages for that one freaking thread!? GFYS! The search option is not very accurate in case you haven't noticed. Each individual is different than the next, and that person might have a harder time understanding the info that is put down in typing. Some of the miscommunication is because of the extremely poor quality of grammar that is spoken by at least half of this forum. Im not here to cause any problems, but i do tend to want to speak out for the little guy who can't get his voice heard over the pathetic pukes who run this dictatorship. :spew: <---smart asses. I am not a novice when it comes to growing any greens but like you, i do tend to have a few questions that rise up throughout the growing process. The fact remains the same; treat the newbies with some respect and a timely efficient answer and you shall receive it in return. This is a "Growing Forum". How bout we all learn and grow together as a community of people who enjoy the same wonderful fruits of life! Growing doesn't just apply to plants, it also applies to people and the planet we live together on. And together we should be able to grow and prosper for the sake of a better life! Cheers!:peace::bigjoint:bongsmilie

First, please learn how to indent or at least hit return between every 2 - 3 sentences so its not so hard to read your post.

Second, I understand your frustration, but this post makes you look like a mad 13 year old kid.

Yes, you are right. There still are some decent people who don't act so arrogant and are willing to help another person out. I had been browsing this forum for at least 6 months prior to actually joining as a member just so i could confirm all my questions before i posted my first thread. But i still received the same smart ass remarks "browse the forum and so on...blah blah".

Bakeddude: yeah, sorry about the lack of paragraphs or indentations. Im usually so good at remembering to space out my posts. I guess i got a little too into my thread that i forgot to correct it with proper spacing, and i was well aware of how this posts might make me 'appear'. But i really don't care what other people think of me. I just felt that the little guy needs to be heard and a lot of them are just too scared to speak up for fear of coming across like a jerk or a child. I have been through the thick of modern combat, so i can assure you that i am not a child. But my history has prompted me to stand up for those who cannot or will not do it for themselves. Hence the reasoning behind my post...

Thank you both though, for your input. I appreciate any responses whether positive or negative. No worries either way...:cool:

This thread insults me.

I go to UNANSWERED THREADS a dozen times a day, and if the new member is asking about anything besides SOIL, I answer him with a good answer.
THE BUBBLEHEADS are a group here who promised to help the newbies too, and you see them answering newbs very often here.

There are alot of good people on here.
There are some assholes on here.

There are some people who couldn't grow lint.
There are some people who grow decent bud and then suck their own d!ck like they just cloned a unicorn.

Take it with a grain of salt. Most people are pretty cool on here but, they're still people.

go cry to your mom, problem is most of the question askers are idiots under the age of 21 and not a lick of common sense which is why they need to ask, almost every question thats been asked has been talked about oh about ........ a million times

Well I have been helping peeps with as much knowledge as i can provide, and sometimes they will make a comment or remark of Im not a fuking total idiot, well you asked for help then you should be able to take constructive criticism so some people think F U then,

and some questions are so stupid they are unable to be answered (example) Why is my plant dieing? thats it thats all they write, no pix no info

So what is your problem or question,

If it wasn't for some people helping me with very specific problems I would have no clue what i'm doing...There are plenty of people on this site that are happy to help including myself....I'm not the most experienced of the bunch but I have 5 soil grows under my belt and almost finished my first hydro so it's better then nothing....This thread is pretty far off from the truth imo....If you ask a question that's not common sense most of the time your going to get some responses

Geesh - I'm glad I'm a Bubblehead. I'm doing my first grow, and I get ALL of my questions answered. I've been on the 3-4 different bubblehead threads for about 3 months now, and EVERYBODY gets a polite answer. We're just a bunch of peaceful, friendly people trying to help each other. That's the kind of group I want to belong to.

My head spins when I think how much help I have gotten from people here, especially Roseman. In fact, I think it's almost a passion for many here to pay it forward and help as many as they can. I myself will try to add anything I can to a question, especially one that has zero answers. If nothing else I will try to advise how to state the question better, or where to go for some background in order to post a better question.

I'm sorry the OP had that experience, but it is way way out of the norm.

i hear you both (Roseman & Bud Frosty) and i respect your comments.
Roseman: I am not pointing the finger at anyone or naming any names but I just wish to warn the newcomers that this site isn't entirely what you would expect it to be. Like BFrosty said "take it with a grain of salt". I am a knowledge junkie but the responses or lack of, are the same rude comments by the veterans over and over. I understand that answering the same questions of the years gets old. Deal with it. You obviously have enough time to browse through the multitude of threads and reply to some of them so it couldn't hurt to make a macro, like you have, that redirects people to the proper thread. I am however, against the poor treatment of newbies because they asked a 'stupid question'. Remember the old saying, "there are no stupid questions, just stupid answers!" Judging by your pics, you are clearly a wiser, older gentleman (probably around my dads age 60s) so you must be able to see where i am coming from. I have used your posts over the several months prior to joining the forum and they are helpful. No disrespect intended. Im am mearly speaking for those who cannot. I just wish i could meet an old timer such as yourself who would be willing to mentor me in the ways of the hydro home grow! I have much to offer in such a mutual benefit!

Bud Frosty: idk what to say. You have summed it up in an great paragraph. Bravo!

WHOA!!!! WHOA WHOA!!!!!! time out! i think everyone misinterpreted this post. It is NOT an attack on ANYONE OR ANYTHING! Please thoroughly read the post before replying. I have great respect for all of those who are veterans and have paved the way for the rest of us. This is just a pre-warning to those who tend to get impatient for responses or any help at all. We are all on the same side so please do not attack me, i am not attack any of you.
