people still use forums wtf? lmao

Google results.
When you google an obscure issue, you're sure to run into these.

>your registration is pending review from a moderator

Sometimes, forums can provide what Google searches, Yahoo Answers, Computers for Dummies, and Sup Forums cannot.

It's always an odd feeling finding your solution in a 15 year old post. It's like reading sacred, ancient text.

Whoever thought of these need to be put to death.

this always boggles my mind. sending a pm while there's a public thread where the person requested help first sounds so anti-intuitive. why not post it right there and be done with that?. there must be some sort of weird forum norm for this kind of idiocy.

They're infected with a chronic form of retardism.
