The idiot strikes again.
And in four months - over a year, huh? - you couldn't keep your mouth shut, observe and reason what happened in the meantime, so that the suggestion wasn't implemented? Typical american-education-system product. Not that the result is much different around the globe.

In Simcountry or in Reality? Either way, the answer is "You are wrong."
One learns increasingly faster and far better when learning on his own. All he needs is the basic tools to begin with. Instead of focusing on the quality of these tools, you all think its much more fitting to slap him with the (incomplete) answer.

These are words of
wisdom to be applied everywhere.
But lets approach this in another manner... The people who first started playing this game knew about as much as those who start playing it today: nothing. Given they were the first, who was there to help them? None but themselves and the only tools they had were:
* Their reason;
* The news;
* The help pop-ups, which were less than half of today;
* The game documentation, which was equally less.
What changed from then to now? W3C follow the same path that all western governments did during the XIX century: it became increasingly more interventionist. However, it proceeded inadequately...
Question is: How are you all any different from those who first played?
Another change happened two years ago, with none other but I begun answering every question posed on the forum. This continued for over a year. After I stopped, Calloe Wolf took my place and continued what I did, until an ulcer stroke him.
After Calloe Wolf and I, no one has been able to answer the questions posed on the forum to the same extend that we did.
In fact, several replies to the questions still asked here are echoes of the answers Calloe Wold and I wrote.
Before us, there still was Avalon, Genie and Tamara helping players, but they stopped helping as well. Along with that, you can say their knowledge and help was wasted, because an event happened in the game that caused a discontinuation of the chain started.
But here's an interesting question:
Why did I stop answering questions? Before I started answering questions, providing tips and helping other players establish in this game, notions that today are considered common knowledge among today's "experienced" players, they were almost unheard of. I wonder... I also wonder why all other veterans don't answer questions systematically. I also wonder why anyone would answer questions posed on this forum.
Well, what do you people reckon? Ever even wondered about this?
Dorque,
To ask someone that is calm to calm down is redundant. If you do not like the ways threads turn, the best you have to do is to grow a thicker skin.
I realize the need of a Help forum. I also realize why that need surfaces and the consequences that derive from satisfying in such and such manner. This, I doubt anyone is aware.
If I wasn't aware of the need of a Help Forum, I would have already closed it and delete all the threads within it. Something that is not needed and fails to create any need for it, or becomes obsolete is erased from existence, afterall.
This Help forum, however, is a workaround and not a solution. At some point in time, it will be deleted.
