We all know there's a SEARCH function. Thanx for that.

We have ?'s that need answered, that we don't think of, or remember, until somebody asks it again. And I for one, hope they come up agin'...

We have NOTHING to do but beat this forum to death with ?'s... We're not playing the game...

Please remember, you are not the be-all or do-all of the Mechwarrior 'verse, nor the "Forum Police".

'Nuff said.

( And before you flame this, yes, I can spell "question", "again" and "thanks". And 'verse should be a word... "nuff" cuz you made me mad. I liked the shutdown question.)

Flame on...

There are no unasked questions here. The search could tell you that. Nice troll bait post, landed me first! Go you! I'm just playing my part in this scripted play proudly produced by the OP... curtains please!

Careful, or the Thread Police will treat you to a small cement room with a curtain and a table.

Thread Police do not have a sense of humor.

Not everyone flames don't worry. Most are patient and understanding. Some just sit in the forums for way too long and have read every single bit of information this game has to offer... others haven't. I've spent more than my fair share and durring that time I've asked questions that I later found answers too in other parts of the forums but I just happened to come across it by fluke or by searching more carefully.

Anyhow I'm rambling because I'm bored and I need to watch the mechlab dev video again and drool some more... cheers

I don't think he's a troll at all, I totally agree, it's rude and it doesn't get people to like you when your first answer in a thread is "There's a search bar for a reason." or something like that. Sometimes people ask questions even if they absolutely know the devs answered it somewhere only because they want member opinoins on it to see what we think, or want to start a debate. Like my thread about joysticks. There's a good debate going on with people on trying to prove why either keyboard and mouse is better than a joystick, and I have to say I've learned a lot of points that I probably would've never known if I followed that guy who responded at first saying "The devs answered that already, learn to use the search bar."

Just sayin', I paid my money, just like the rest of you.

And even the people who didn't - have the right to post a question. Even a redundant question. This ISN'T YOUR FORUM. YOU DON'T own the game.

You are NOT a mod, and you don't have the right to tell people off, even nicely. But you just did, didn't you?

[Insidious Johnson]

Way to play into the trope you are trying to keep from being a trope. Keep going, super troper.

I personally agree with docjohn. Having just had a pleasant/friendly post of mine destroyed by a self righteous, arrogant ******* recently, i can 100% understand where this guy is coming from.
- there IS a search, and sometimes it yields a TON of results that are not really what we are looking for. Or sometimes, as any seasoned forum member should know, search engines can be tweak.
- So if the repeated info is not offensive, or in blatant disregard of the forum rules, then just freekin let it go, and maybe, just maybe, some good info will come of it, or the poster may actually have his question answered instead of having to deal with someone's self centered bull sh!t.

Hey OP there is already a thread about thread police......naaahhhh I'm just kidding. Made yahhh look didn't I, of course not you don't use the SEARCH feature.

[Buck Rogers]

Now I'm not going to wade into the nuances going on in this thread as I forgot my floaty water wings,

However it is worth noting that the "search" function isn't the most advanced thing out there, and if you punch in the words you think might conjure up a thread you're looking for, it might not. Even if it does, the thread that answers your questions might be on page 5 of the results. It's understandable that some people don't want to slog through those pages, so they post a new thread.

Well with a handle like Freebirth that might spark some animosity!

Oh and when I think Mplayer, for some reason, I keep thinking of Kali.

See what we got now? Excess pork in a barrel. Doomed I tells ya... doomed! OP gonna get meme'd.

[Hexenhammer]

For some of us there are no new questions to ask because we already know the answers and the only thing left to do is actually play the game.
