Good job Riva as always! :)

Beautiful guide, man. I would rep you, but this account is worth nothing. There are too many kids who make threads saying "I think ___ is very awesome and is the best band in the world!" but don't say anything else to back it up. Intelligent discussion and conversation skills should be the key to "success" in these Forums.

Very good. However, n00bs ready to say "omg slipknot is teh pwn" arn't ready to read that beforehand..."the eternal forum problem".

Rep -+-+-+-+-+-

They can't read anyway, but it's still a very good guide.

Good job Riva, rep++.

Let's hope this cuts down on the stupid threads in R&M.

[QUOTE=gocaps99]finally. will this be stickied?! and the real thing is, now will people actually read this?[/QUOTE]
What is "Stickied?"
Isn't it where it stays at the top of the forum for a little while?

Good job, you're catching on.

Well said. Hopefully there wont be as many stupid threads now.

I suppose if I had called this thread "Maynard sux" more noobs would have read it... :)

that could be very true........:lol:

as the first n00b here, good job. I probably am the only n00b to read this. Sucks for them.

EDIT: second n00b

:lol: They would've responded like "wut?1 R U ****ing nsain? Maynerd is da best sing er n da world, biatch! LOL, U probly listen to Whitesnake!"...

Hooray for Riva! I like the use of quotes. Very clever.

good work even though noobs might not read it beforehad(i am ashamed of my own noobiness)

it needs to be updated though, the search is back up

Updated it with the section on the search function.

Very good Riva :thumb:

not [I]all[/I] noobs are stoopid you know. But i'll probably have some pretty stupid posts, so go ahead, continue making fun of us.

I think you missed the point somewhat. Riva is not making fun of you, simply trying to help educate users into becoming great posters.

Updated to include a new (very brief) tutorial for the search function. If all the regulars subscribe to this thread, and post this in all those crappy threads, (you know the ones I mean) then this could actually register with noobs.

I am reasonably new, it has helped me a lot, I really appreciated your time making this thread, Applause all round :D

Good thread about making good threads Jason.

You know after seeing some of the threads made recently I think mabye this needs to be a little closer to page one then before.

To be fair, R&M has been really great lately. Still, it's nice to see this thread near the top again. :)

True, I didn't mean to say that MX was bad off, sorry if I seemed like complaining, I just felt your instruction on the Search function would be very helpful to a lot of people making threads :)

Hehe, pity nobody is willing to read the big blocks of text. :-/

[QUOTE=thechad202]Also, even if the search was down for whatever reason, users can use most [URL=http://www.google.com]search engines[/URL] to search within the musician forums domain.

With google go into advanced search and type 'www.musicianforums.com' into the 'return results from this domain only' field and then just type your query in the regular way.

This isn't nearly as good as the in-built search feature here, but I found it useful when the search was disabled after the crash.[/QUOTE]

Hehe, I did that as well. Didn't know about the ability to add domain names though.

Bumpage++++

Thought this should be bumped. :)

Why thank you Schyma.

Hats Off To Roy Harper ;)

time to bring this back from the pits of hell.

Haha, thanks Aaron. /me brushes dust and hellspawn off of thread.
