I have noticed over the past months that I have been a part of the bungie.net community that a large number of people pose questions to the members of the flood about things they could get answered faster if they just did a google search. For example, in a post listed tonight a person asked a generic question about a certain religious group, which ended up starting a big mess that was later locked down.

My question to people like that is:

What is so hard with doing a google search???

You will most likely find all the information you need to answer your question, and you will not be contributing to added workload on the bungie.net web admins (mods).

And Secondly, What in the world posses people to ask question of this nature on a video game forum? VIDEO GAME FORUM..... we are talking a large population of 14 year olds here.....

Please don't reply unless you have something intellegent to add.

Peace.

It's terrible! Sometimes you have to go all the way to the third page, or even change your search terms!

(I use Google about 50 times a day. And then I googled to see if that was normal.)

Google is great. Gmail is better.

This is a good example of another great problem on bungie.net, please note the quoted comment from my original thread and then review your comment again.

i have a reason why they come here
they dont want the information, they are just lonly nerds that want somebody to talk to them, so instead of google id recomend some chat pages where they cant be seen and wont have a problem unless they can tyoe faster than they can think

I find it humurous when people come in here looking for answers to there homework. People just want stuff handed to them now days. They're too lazy to spend the time and effort to do a simple google search.

If people aren't smart enough to ask a question about a non-Bungie game B.net, how would they ever think of using google? Google helps out a lot, it's jsut some people have no clue about it.

And on that subject, one could argue that asking google the answer to a homework answer is getting it handed to you.

umm no it is called doing research. it would be just the same as looking it up in a book or at the library. your finding the answer for yourself.
