Put the TOS, FAQ, Guidelines, and anything else new mylot members should read, on their home page! Wouldn't that encourage people to read all these necessary pages? I heard new members get emailed some of this too but you can...

snam23 I checked your profile and saw that you joined within the past year. What you have to understand is that, the email was not always sent out. Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember ever receiving such an email. But anyway, I agree with you...

snam23 I agree with you. I think my idea is going a bit too far. I do like your idea though. Having to read the guidelines and FAQ's before being allowed to post would save a lot of people time and frustration not to mention help the new members out a ton!

snam23 So it wasn't just me! I've had technical problems too! (And I was very sick.) I understand a lot of your concerns. The search feature could definitely be improved and being afraid to ask questions is never a good thing. That said, you can PM many older...

snam23 Yes, I agree we already have a lot of resources. And I think I saw that same exact discussion! I think you're right, we have to draw the line somewhere. However, the guidelines and FAQ and such are not in most visible places. I didn't even notice that new...

snam23 I think the few people who look for the rules will find it helpful. But I agree, it is a hit and a miss. Then again, I disagree. Some people actually follow the rules and DO read them, whether they are on the front page or hidden at the bottom. That's how most...

Maybe it's because I'm returning from a very long hiatus or it's just that I've lost my patience with everything and everyone, but has anyone else been annoyed by the new kids on this site lately? I know it must always be like...

snam23 Although I've been lucky enough to experience different cultures offline, experiencing it online is quite different. Like both of you, I have seen various discussions where I did not understand the meaning or content of the discussion. As difficult as it may...

snam23 I see where you're coming from but most newbies I know will come directly to the homepage because in the beginning they do not have any discussions or responses to comment on. Also, notifications may be off (I don't know what the default is on that). I agree...

I'm not very old and didn't play that many games when I was young (only Pokemon and a few others ) so my first Sonic game was Sonic Advance 2 for Game Boy Advance and the only other Sonic game was Sonic Rush Adventure...

snam23 Lucky duck! Well, he made a good decision since you still play it! Must have been one heck of a gift at the time!

snam23 Sorry for the late response. Whoa, a blind roommate! I've never met anyone blind before, let alone talked to them! It must sure have been hard to find people willing to listen!

snam23 Yeah, I don't even remember those levels but it was a quite frustrating game.

snam23 I'm willing to giving people a chance as long they give the site a fair chance and work for it. Yes, I agree and I help those who try hard as well and those who genuinely want to earn and have fun here but many are looking for a quick-cash scheme that...

snam23 I know what you mean and it's definitely not mylot, but rather a problem in general. I've never heard people actually use the emergency exit till now! It is really astonishing how much people don't use their common sense.

snam23 It would only be for newbies until they met certain preset qualifications. They could summarize them and put them in short bullet form (although the current guidelines aren't that long). I'm liking the quiz idea! It would certainty have encouraged me to...

snam23 I was thinking more of a sign up bonus so that new members would be encouraged to stay. Something where members who post quality discussions (or anything that passes the guidelines) would earn, say a 10 cent bonus. Or there could be other requirements and as...

snam23 I ment the home page so every time you come to mylot directly or log in, it would be on the front page. But I like your idea too! Although the problem with that is people can just click the button to continue. I guess more people would read it right before...
