Isn't that what forums are for, to share knowledge, ask questions, be helpfulto others?
Share knowledge. Exactly. Many good posts are still out there just waiting for someone to find them with the search function.
It really really irks me when someone who knows how to do something can be so offended when they are asked for help. I had the same experience when I started modding Wii's,I askled a question on another forum and was told that if I had to ask questions I should not be modding a Wii.
Does it give you a power buzz or something knowing you know something somebody else wants to know?
Cant answer for Eldude but it can sometimes get annoying when someone asks a lot of questions about something that would be obvious had they just researched a bit.
Not so long ago alot of games required the newest AKAIO loader to work. This question was asked alot of times and it was annoying because others found out themselves. Then like your example somebody says "if you are not smart enough to read the FAQ to see you have to update loader then DONT have an Acekard.
Most people on this forum are very helpful, no matter how noobish the question.
Update AKAIO Loaders.. that question got asked pretty many times and is a great example that noob questions is not met with a calm answer
This is just what i think. I dont think there is any e-peen involved or sick/twisted minds. Just people who are tired of obvious questions.

Besides, banning for a help question ? that shows how bad those forums are.
