Not many good tips anymore!

**tilly** · 05-23-2004, 07:43 PM

We do not see many good tips anymore on this forum and probably it is the same with the other forums dealing with FS2004. It is normal. When fs9 was new, many of us looked for way to improve it. They found many tips. Now, it is difficult to come up with new ideas.

Maybe it would be the right time to collect the best ones from the library and place their links in a file which would be accessed from the top of this forum as we access the FAQ.

What does the webmaster thinks about this?

How about clicking the FAQs link at the top or bottom of the this forum page? Pretty much everything is there. (Well, maybe it could be updated slightly).

What's your problem? What do you want to know?

It sure seems to me that every topic has been pretty well covered. That makes it almost impossible to come up with any new "good tips," doesn't it.

A much under-utilized resource is the search function. I would imagine that just about every relevant topic has been discussed at some point since the game came out.

he just wants to whine and complain.
It's the reason why forums are getting worse, the constant whining and complaining is driving people to sarcasm as is the constant speculation about a possible new version of FS and the demands of what Microsoft should do.

Right on target. I'm afraid that for a select few juveniles, it is their "moment in the spotlight" to post in the forum. Unfortunately, many of those posts are not very sensible. Furthermore, they frequently display the poster's inability to spell or punctuate. Of course, I can understand that if English is not their native language; however, it seems that for too many English-speaking posters, English is not their language, either.

Hi, Darrell

The last FAQ update was Aug-21-03, and there are wrong answers (#17, for instance) that had not been corrected until now...

My only complaint with that is that I believe that constructive criticism should be given. Not demands, but it did sound like you were lumping us all in one basket, I personally have emailed Microsoft with some of my opwn suggestions, as well as possible ways to do it (just for the sake of making it constrctive, I'm sure they can figure it out themselves) and had a couple of them noted as 'possible additions'. :?
