How to post a reply

Welcome to class children, my name is Professor NinjaCat.  Today we're going to learn about the proper way to reply to posts in the forum, as many of you seem to be having problems understanding the actual purpose of this message board.  

 

Lets use an example.  I recently started a thread about how to sneak under the army base gate while on a PCJ-600.  Many people chose to reply to my tip by:

 

A.  Pointing out the fact that there is a hunter in the Army Base

 

B.  Advocating the use of some other vehicle to break the gate, such as a car or truck

 

C.  Talking about police uniforms

 

D.  Not making sense at all

 

Now class, which of the above is correct?  Yes Billy?  None of them?  Correct Billy, you get a gold star.   Virtually none of the replys to my topic were actually relevant to what I was trying to communicate with my original post.  

 

How should people respond to other people's topics?  Good question Tina!  Let's try to list some ways people could reply to others posts in a relevant and meaningful way.  At least one of the following things should be included in a reply to a topic:

 

A.  Information which is not totally obvious that is relevant to the topic at hand

 

B.  A question about a certain procedure or location etc that was posted

 

C.  Answers to questions asked in either the original post or a reply to that post

 

That is all for today class.  Please try to use what you have learned today in the future and have a nice day.

 

NinjaCat out.

Well, no.  Actually doing any of those things is not a crime.  However, all of them are completely retarded and totally miss the point of the original post.  Look, I'm trying to encourage people to think, you know, with that mass between your ears?  And to be honest, it's really, REALLY, annoying when people feel the need to reply to a topic with something that is totally irrelevant.  Let me use an example:

 

Person A:  You can do burnouts on the PCJ by holding Square and X simultaneously and turning left or right.

 

Person B:  I like driving the Manana in the Cuban outfit.

 

Now, that was sort of like what happened in my thread, only magnified a bit for effect.  In fact, most of the things people said, such as "I use a helicopter," "Wear a cop uniform," are not actually facts, but rather opinions.  I started the thread with a trick, outlined in the title to the thread, "Hint for BIKE access to the Army Base" and many people responded with their own opinions as to how they always get in.  I didn't start the thread to pretend to care how they get in with the helicopter or the Manana or whatever.  

 

Which brings me to my final point:

 

Shut the f*ck up little kid.

 

NinjaCat out.

I think we all understand the point you are making PussyCat but you have to look at this from the point of view of someone sane minded. You have come up with a method of getting into the Army Base that is A: Pointless and B: Too Much Trouble. Its like me coming up with a way of getting a helicopter into the Condo Garage. i.e. why would you want to. I think some of the Tards on this board just got confused because they couldn't figure out that you had posted something pointless and decided that you needed help in easier ways of getting into the Base. No disrespect but this whole topic from the last post to this one is a complete waste of cyberspace. :sui: I'm not trying to be harsh here but you are going on about this a little too much and quite frankly, its very dull.

I like NinjaCat, he amuses me.

 

The pcj thread was hardly pointless, I read it (haven't tried the trick yet) and it was a way of getting the bike into the army base undamaged.

 

Granted, you could simply ram the barrier with a car and then drive your bike in, but lets assume you were running from the police on your PCJ 600, would this little tip not come in handy?

 

I think it would.

Those aren't opinions, they're suggestions!!! An opinion would be something like "I think wearing a cop uniform is most effective to get in the army base." Someone needs to stop skipping English class to teach people how to post in a forum on the internet..

 

A, B, and C are all relevant to the topic. It's about the army base, there's an Apache in there if you got the packages or finished the game!!! The topic is about getting inside the army base without getting hurt, isn't it? What's so bad about the strategies of others? They might work a helluva lot better than your strategy! And finally, to get into the army base wearing a cop uniform.. That's another way, if you don't want to get shot.. So stop being such a.. I can't even think of the word, I'll just say hoser. Stop being a hoser. Okay, and finally, I doubt anyone will follow your "teaching" presented in the thread, what a waste of this forum. My crap connection could be going faster without this stupid topic.

 

Maybe it's you who is retarded, getting pissed over the way people reply to your topic on a forum on the internet.

 

Oh, and that mass between your ears is called a brain.. You sure you have one? I mean, you don't know what it's called, so..

 

But that's my opinion.
