Look up fix for game

>posts some obvious bug related problem with game software
>everyone refuses even to acknowledge the problem until he posts every piece of hardware, software and drivers he has
People are way too autistic about this. I see it everywhere.

>post all the information they asked
>they all disappear upon the realisation that they don't know anything

This happens when you're looking up a problem with windows, 80% of the replies are people asking about or posting their PC specifications

It's to keep new thread from being bumped the next page. I don't know, I'm just giving you their reasoning.

They're going to be bumped away regardless if you're making a new thread.

Gatekeepers don't know how to make a gate, user. They just know how to find one, and keep it.

>find thread with the exact same problem as me
>fix involves doing something with nvidia
>thread closed locked and labelled as fixed
>i have amd
This happens more than I like.

I think the idea's that the original posters have probably long left that thread, and babby posters can't read timestamps so they try to continue a conversation after months or even years have passed.

>old gaf thread
>99% banned

Who gives a shit? New users can continue the conversation. It hurts absolutely no one in anyway.

Yea Forums is so particular about new users integrating themselves into the board/site culture, and yet fags here will still go to other sites or forums and post without reading their rules or understanding the culture first. Disgusting.

Bold of you to assume I know how to read

Start a new thread. It’s like how half the posts on /gif/ are just replying the OP asking for sauce even though the thread is 3 days old. The OP is gone, guys.

>find thread relevant to your issue, but old
>DON'T NECRO YOU FAG
>start a new thread about the same thing
>THERE'S ALREADY A THREAD FOR THIS YOU FAG
At that point you might as well just ask yahoo answers.

>understanding the culture first.
Sucking up to users with a 200k post count is not "culture", faggot.

the fix worked lads, if any of you need it i'll pm it to you :) screenshot related

I ran a popular forum and banned autists that complained when someone bumped a thread with real content. Necroing a thread just to say "lol" is one thing, doing it to answer a long standing question or add interesting information is another and most faggot mods don't understand that distinction.

I also hid user levels, hid post counts, disabled signatures, discouraged cliques, didn't care about -isms and -phobias, and banned based on IQ being below 80 rather than disagreeing with the norm. It was a good forum that lasted like 10 years with little to no faggotry. Honestly kind of saddening that no other place like it exists anymore.

well sometimes it is no longer relevant. Like "X is OP" which was 10 patches ago and other retards dont look at the thread age and think the OP complains about hte current balance. Other than that its just an excuse for mods to be autistic

a lot of newer forums have that feature for this exact reason

Was this Last Raven? I swear I saw this exact post with the same picture

>requires you to make 5 posts
and thats how I shat up their databae a bit more. Yeah you banned me, but i already got the one link i needed.

>this dowload is giving me a virus warning
>that's just a false positive
Pirating games is risky business.

I saw this exchange in the comments of like ten igg pages before I stopped going there.

One forum I saw doing this was doing it because it made them look bad when the front page is full of posts about features announced 2 years ago that haven't been spoken of since.

Why is nearly every forum moderator a cute anime girl with a fantasy-esque name?

No but it's probably the same site and the mod reeks of prototranny, I was looking for a fix for Concrete Jungle on my PS2 emulator because the different vision modes were artifacting hard as fuck

because they're prototrannies, the promethians of dick mutilation
