Forum space is absolute cancer, but it's not like Sup Forums would be any help either

LOL MODS LIKE YOU ARE JUS RETARDED.

spent a solid 2 hours neck deep in the raw sewage of windows enthusiast/gaymur forums today trying to get my HDMI-only monitor to run at 60hz in wangblows 10 and holy fuck did I ever want to fucking kill myself by the end of it. I eventually figured out how to use this little "Custom Resolution Utility" to do it but dear god.. the "documentation" for it is literally 8 lines of point form gibberish and a 300 PAGE thread of people asking how to do X Y Z and shithead forum regulars upping their postcount with useless non-answers for half the page then eventually it gets answered but no where does it explain in anywhere near plain english how to fucking use the thing.

So you're mad that you didn't get spoonfed the solution from google? What kind of complaint is that?

Assholes

SO never has google it replies.
They always remove threads that had been there for years and which contained useful info though.

I'm mad that I couldn't find the solution by googling a specific error message because it means I'll have to dig through someone else's code to debug the problem, yes. What the fuck is your problem?

anything that does not have good documentation is not worth using.

Fuck you Wasabi.

What's the point of joining a tech help forum if you're just going to downvote any thread that has a question you don't know the answer to?

For all of the shit they pull, I still appreciate them, because without that kind of ruthless janitor, it all devolves into dogshit.

Except for when you actually have to use it to get the job done.

Stack Overflow is supposed to be bad but Technet is ten times worse.

Sup Forums and a few subreddits are the only places I've seen that don't do this. It amazes me how many normalfags get genuinely triggered by piracy or think the FBI is gonna break down their door for torrenting.

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

forum mods are the worst

if you managed to get through the video and follow it, then you at least had a chance to succeed at whatever you wanted to do in contrast to forums where they won't even try to help

>link in video description
>megaupload

lmao, awesome
that being said, I think that Sup Forums mods also remove posts like that

>obscure warez forum

and once you find some zippyshare or mediafire link it will say that the file is no longer available

What is wrong with it?

nothing. but think about it.

SO does have that rep problem. To this day I still get 50 rep/day from my past answers and questions.

Much better than a forum though. There's a /vr/ related SE site with amazing answers about retro computers.

I'm guilty of this

I wrote some popular ruby libraries while I was in high school. I stopped maintaining them when I got into university... All those unresolved issues :(

>not sanitizing the log before you post it

All those fixes that were uploaded to MegaUpload, gone . . .

. . . forever.

they're in cloud heaven now

Yes it says that you could optionally install X (2018), but I need 2017.

Such is life as a non-macOS user who encounters a problem.

Some of us *have* to use windows or linux for some of these programs to work, as they were designed to work in those OSes.

For the record, the problem was a semi-known bug that was supposed to be fixed in the newest version. It wasn't.

kek

yes we all know that feel

you mean $299 for a screen replacement

Someone was considerate enough to at least think of future users with the same problem.

holy fuck these are annoying.
