This forum is losing touch badly.
It ain't just me, but the past 3 months in this forum have shown unprofessional attitudes, pointless posts, rude and personal situations with damn near half to 3/4 of the posts made here. This forum is starting to suck.

This forum is starting to suck.
Counntless flame wars over OS's, processors, video card companies, hardware, software, the works....everything being flamed all the time, shows NO professional attitudes by ALL of us, including myself.
And why is this? because people are trying propaganda all over this forum, it's almost as if each one of us works for the company or lives by the piece of whatever (hardware, software) that we are sticking up for. It is causing a lot of people to leave the forum, complain, flame, etc.
I have gotten lots of e-mail from people that know me on the forum, saying "Doesn't anyone give useful answers at NTCompatible?". My answer is always the same, it is "We all are losing it".
So, we all are entitled to our opinions, that's great, wonderful news. But we should try doing it in a professional manner, here are some examples of both:
Professional:
"Windows Millennium doesn't seem to run nearly as good as Windows 98 on my machine"
Unprofessional:
"Windows Millennium is lame, it's a gay OS that should not have been made, doesn't even run well here compared to windows 98"
see the difference? We should be pushing the professional approach, don't call something names and put it down, just give your general errors, problems, etc, then things will be done. Nobody calls a help desk and says that Netscape is being gay, so why do it here?
We are ALL losing our professional touch, including myself, I should be using my knowledge more than my smart mouth remarks, and I think a lot of people agree on this.
Take it for what it's worth, i'm just suggesting a way that you, I, and others that join could make this place a whole lot better, and a little less chaoic.
Thank you.

i figured I had a right to bump this post up to the top, considering some of us in this forum need to here it again, about their attitudes and behavior, which has been poor for some as of late.
I'm starting to wonder why I post here anymore, 90 % of the posts on this forum are not questions or discussions, there are comments directed at an individual or they are "meant to hurt" posts, of which I fall victim to one of those.
my suggestion is think before you post and think about your post and what the results could possibly be.

Yeah, I wondered why I continue to post here as well. Then I remembered that occasionally someone shows up in "Networking" and I can help him/her out. I just skip over the other sh1t. As far as asking everybody to be nice to each other, why not just set the example and DO IT. Be consistent; don't bring the same old sh1tty behavior back later and wonder why you get flamed. And if you get slammed, so what. Just drop the issue if it's not getting anywhere and it will eventually die down. BTW, this applies to only a few problem children, but they (and everybody else) know who they are.
