Stuck Up Coders

phpshift

I'm sick of all of these majorly egotistical PHP "geniuses" going around talking down on people who are new to PHP. Everyone who is a master at something had to be new to it at some point. It's really irritating to post something and then have someone else use 1000 words to tell you that you're an idiot.

The point of all of that...is that you arrive and start spamming your own site. And then the comment you made about deleting things around here, wha?

This is the lounge...you're going to have to expect that people are going to have fun with it. Hang around, you'll see that it's really not so bad. It's just new for you at the moment...the people here are very smart and funny.

And yes, some folks have been members for years, and at times we all do get a little prissy about people coming in and spamming their new site. It happens alot...you'll see.

Cheers

I'm sick of hearing about all of these pre-made forums and people asking how to set them up. When will someone finally code their own forum.

Is it me or do I smell some irony in the air? 😃

pohopo, I was thinking the same thing 🙂

At first I didn't see the f in your username. Now that made me laugh. And reading all your posts just makes me laugh a bit more.

Thats my tuppence.

Yes, I'm about to offend you, phpshift, but I'm getting rather annoyed: Is all you do complain? Perhaps if you spent as much time improving the things about which you complain instead of complaining about them, you might actually accomplish something.

I guess asking for a link to a literal post that says this is out of the question, since the phrase "you're an idiot" (and no, I'm not calling you one) doesn't take 1000 words to say.

Sounds like your interpretation of someone's words. That may, or may not have been what they're saying. "Iron sharpens iron", as the saying goes*. If you take Vaaska's advice above, you might find out that a rough beginning is simply an indication that you're becoming sharper. I've been here for four years, and you would definitely not be the first "board newbie" who didn't feel welcome at first. I don't think it's personal unless you make it be. It just the way things are here, and it's a tad worse in Code Critique and the Echo Lounge because of the nature of these sub-forums.

In case anyone hasn't said it, welcome to the forums. Watch your P's and Q's, dot your I's, RTFM, UTSL, think before you press submit, etc.

See ya around,

Turns out it's the Bible that says that. "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." I can't imagine that it feels good to the iron....

It doesn't get any better... but after a while you learn they aren't really that smart 🙂

Argh the secret's out!

What a coincidence, a friend of mine just mentioned that 2 days ago.

Yeah, we can be quite silly at times.
