What is the point of this site?

Post by QBM »

I have read the forums and the "front page" but still don't really get it.
The format is odd and hardly "merchandisable" (front page). I did see a link to a mag which I'm bottomuming is the point with a hot chick on the cover but was dissappointed when I clicked and didn't get the "big picture";)

of course I'm just here to assimilate you all anyway...........but I am curious.

Wow...just fvcking wow...................

As for leaving I would if everyone on here was a childish aol speak typing tard with a lack of spelling and grammar skills like yourself. Luckily for this forum they kept you locked in a closet while the grown folk rolled out the welcome wagon......


and it was a serious question.

Firstly, I am dissapointed with the more "local" members of this forum. An American dude joins the forum and wants to know what it's about. And you go and flame him for being understandably ignorant. I thought this forum wasn't like that. Maybe I'm missing something. I don't know.

Secondly, QBM, I am not defending you. I think your manners suck. Go and read some of the forum rules to see how to behave around here, especially flaming a site that obviously doesn't suck too much since you already have almost 90 posts.
And to answer your question, read some threads or just look at the thread topics to get an idea of what it's about. As for the mag you tried to click on. It's a well known PC mag where we live. most of the articles you see on this site are in the mag.

Flaming the site? A little defensive aren't we? It was simply my perspective on the site. I know what the site is about but it took far too long for it to click. Get it?

90 post. LOL. Did you bother reading the topics they are posted under? Also it doesn't take me long to make 90 post and at no time do I have to venture to any other part of the site. For the record I have many more post on sites that do indeed suck.

Ok, I see. This thread may have been your 1st post. Anyway, your perspective on the site doesn't matter. Some of us like it the way it is.

I've seen a couple of your posts popping up. Hope you keep it up and stick around for a bit. I'm starting to take a liking to your attitude.

I totally agree with Wizard there regarding the SA way!

I wasnt trying to create a confusion here earlier on, but common ppl......it was obvious that QBM was trying to cause **** here by asking such a crappy sarcastic question! "Whats the point to this site?" Dude....it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure its a forum where a bunch of ppl with the same interest get together to chat.

Anyways, to all those who thought I was rather rude earlier...my apologies

But, how many South African tech forums are there? That's the point of this site, it's for South Africans.

No need for the apology. :wink:

Lets ask QBM a pointless question.

@QBM What are your really doing here? :twisted:

We respect any outsider/outlander and welcome them to PCF but so far you've made it impossible to do so.Never fear you can always start again and make nice a good start would be the rules and dropping the spelling B act no ones cares on this forum if you can spell or not however they might point out our mistakes but they don't try and make fun of it.

What am I doing here? Asking a question.

Spelling B act? If I get "flamed" I expect it to be done properly.

I've made 90+ post here and with the exception of the ones in this thread and the thread that brought me here I haven't had anyone express that I was unwelcome.............

I've got an answer to that: he/she's trying to cause **** - and thinks that he/she/it knows better/more than everyone else. I mean who comes to a site as a relative newbie and starts complaining? I doubt you could do any better... Hell, just compare the UK PCF site with this one, and tell me which one's better?

Oh, and lets see your site? Any good? THought not...

Complaining? I asked a question. If I asked anywhere else I wouldn't get this ****** I would get something along the lines of:

"This is a site/ forums for the readers of "*******" a magazine in circulation in "*******" We don't do a lot of promotion on our forum or main page because the people who come to the site are usually come here after reading the mag. Yeah the online content is a little sparce but we are constantly adding to it. As for the format there is a limited budget and not a lot you can do with phpnuke and phpBB. Any other questions?.

of course that would be mixed in with a couple "stfu noob".



oh and keep doubting..........................

Oh, well, I guess you aren't wearing your glasses - otherwise you might have seen the headings and titles and pics all over the place: "ENTERTAINMENT 3.0 - PC FORMAT - NET PLUS: Forums"

Sheesh.

Anyway, here goes:

This is a brilliant site dedicated, but not limited to, the readers of PC Format, netPlus and T3. Anybody is free to come here and post sensible comments and opinions. As for content; if you are interested in any of the programs or games detailed on this site, just buy our magazine which - just by the way - comes with a free DVD full of stuff.


Anyway, now you're criticising phpNuke?? Come on! Have you ever even worked with phpBB or phpNuke yourself??

Remember....I've never heard of any of those.

and yes one of my forums is phpBB and I'm quite familiar with phpNuke.

It isn't kid friendly... As if.

And in case you haven't noticed, you might actually alleviate some of the hostility by proving yourself.
