I have a question about a plug-in, and I've asked it twice, but gotten no response both times. Why do you people insist on not even viewing the post?!
------------------

Gee, did you think that it may have been that we had nothing to say? I for one didn't read them until just now, because I've never played that plugin. That may be the deal with most other people, as well.
Something that I just noticed: there isn't that big of a time difference between this post and your last one. Please keep in mind that not all of us are in your time zone. Perhaps the person who could answer your question is laying in bed, sleeping, because its 3 am there.
Please don't yell at "us" again.

Because you posted the question half an hour ago, and because people don't know the answer, I would assume.

Mostly because I've never played F-25, and I generally don't download plugs just to answer questions, as the five or ten minutes I'd use up there could probably be used on (url="http://"http://www.evoverride.com")more profitable occupations(/url).
But I think I'll take pity on you this one time, so refer (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/cgi-bin/ubb/postdisplay.cgi?forum=Forum8&topic;=004089")here(/url) for the long-awaited answer ...

You need more attention getting names. The best way is to be extremely devious... One guy, I forget who, with a serious post got people to look at it by calling it HOW DO U GET KARAMA!!!!!???? or something like that. Everybody came to flame the person who posted it and encountered the first sentence: Now that I have your attention... He got a whole lot of views. Try something like that.
I know that was pretty useless advice, but I just felt like typing something.
By the way, now that you have people paying attention, why not restate your question? Perhaps someone will answer this time.

Try something like that.Thats not the best way to get answers to questions about specific plugins. By stating that you need help with a plug-in and by mentioning that plug-in's name in the subject, it will get the attention of people who play that plug-in.
As for the example, I read it because I was wondering what the hell Lobster (the guy who posted it) was doing.

Actually EVula, Anatole(the newbi basher) posted that topic, and was flamed extencively on the topic of the topic and the title of the topic.
I would never sugest that you do this because you will get flamed. Plus if you read the webboard guidelines it spesfically says "Topics should have a subject heading which reflects the content of the message. Do not name topics "ALL READ" or other such ambiguous titles that convey no information about the contents.". Though if you are a well astablished memeber of these boards you are less likely to be horribly flamed.
(excuse the misspeling)

Anatole started "HOW DO YOU GET KARMA?" (I can't bother remembering misspellings) on Banter & Brawl recently, and Lobster started "HOW DO YOU BECOME A MODERATOR?" on the EV Nova board earlier, where he holds a moderator position.

No offense, but you need to be more patient. Like the others so fondly added, maybe people who actually take the time to look at your request simply don't know the answer to your question... in fact, they're probably just as stumbled upon it as you are! The point is, give it some time and maybe you'll get what you want. I've had a few problems with my game, and Shayborg, a very kind person, gave me the answer after I waited. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find out the solution soon.

Actually, I gave him an answer to this question as well, which is why the topic had died somewhat before you revived it.

Thanks everyone for not flaming him. It's nice to see such patience.
