    Maybe these people don't have the time, are lazy, can't find what they are looking for.

    Run. Flee from the wrath of Jinxed (or the polite nudging of Snow) when they see this thread. Run.

    Anyway, Phoenix, welcome to [bling-bling] tha bruddahood, ma ornatin' flintlockizzle avizzle [/bling-bling]. Be merry.

    Hey does that mean we'll get Snow in here to talk to :D

    Wow, didn't realize the flintlock was such a major avatar :p . I want to get to 1000 so maybe I can get a custom one though :) . So, I wonder how many NEW topics we have actually created under Hint n' Tips. I know we repeat some but it would be interesting to know just how many different things we have been able to come up with to make threads about.

    No, I agree. I don't know why people get so mad when you tell them to search for it, because half the time, it's a question that has been answered, or could be answered by looking at a walkthrough or something. I can understand asking questions that pertain only to your character or something, (ie: I'm a mage, what do you think are good spells or something like that.) but most questions are questions about quests that have been answered numerous times before.

    It CAN, however, be quite annoying when you search and it gives you matches that are so distantly related, you can't even tell it was relevant.

    For the most part, it's pretty good, though. :)

    There are cases like that xento, but I think you'd agree with trying the search tool before posting.
