    I have noticed that new pinsiders get very few responses while the same question from a seasoned pinsider will get a much larger response rate.Is there a snob factor or feeling of superiority on this site .I am a master chess player and love the game.The chess people seem to be much more friendly the pinballers.It is surprising.

    I posted a question 1 hour ago and am the only thread that has gotten a single response.Every thread posted after me has gotten a response.This happens all the time.I have also noticed this from other newbies with questions.To me it not a very friendly community and I see nasty responses all the time.

    you are right chess and pinball are very different but what is your point?.Im saying that in chess forums questions are always answered and and the people are nicer.I look at threads and there is almost always fighting.Everyone is trying to defend themselves but fact my thread was the only one in the last hour not to be responded to.Maybe you would be better served to take the top 200 members and make this a private forum.

    The master bater line was great.I thought it was funny the first time I heard it when I was 10 years old and I still get a kick out of it.

    Quoted from markmon:

    I answer a lot of questions here. How new a person might be is not relevant. How clearly and detailed the question is worded is. There does seem to be a direct correlation between being new and being unable to properly word a question. For example, "My game doesn't work, halp??" doesn't even warrant a response. If I have to ask 10 follow up question just to understand the problem, I'm out. People that want answers should spend some time and effort properly asking questions.

    Hey idiot in your own words "doesn't even warrant a response. If I have to ask 10 follow up question just to understand the problem" It should have been questions not question. How ironic.If you would like to find out what ironic means call me.

    And maybe you should further your education.

    After a restless night and a full day to think things over I have come to the conclusion that you people are better and much more friendly then the chess people, so I take it all back.Please move on and try to help other newbies.
