Welcome..
At this post, I have only been a member for less than a month.
I am old school. When I went to school, hi-tech meant you
got to use the electric typewriter. Consumer computers were
still 10 years away. Today, your 6 year old's talking barbie is more of
a computer than that. I have turned on a 386(old,old,old), made a sandwich,
ate it...and the 'computer' was 'almost' booted.
And I know how intimidating getting your feet wet when even my 14 year
old has gotten impatient with me, has taken my mouse and clicks here, here and here
with some of the new stuff. What?
Well,Relax.
The difference between knowledge and ignorance on any level is
the simple question. Once asked and answered may or may not
lead to another question. Of this mutual exchange, progress is born. Here
you will find this is almost art. From everyone here, for those that
have read my posts this may be redundant, I am sorry, I am still
amazed at finding something today that works so well and asks
so little. I feel compelled to continue to point this out.
This post is to convey the few rough spots I encountered that
will make any transition into feeling comfortable here easier, if thats
possible, so you can jump right in, ask, get answered, report results,
post any new question that may result from your find, answer posts
of things you have learned so the information flows and grows and
most importantly I can read them and learn. Yes, this is all about me. hahaha
1. Read the few Rules. Learn'm, lov'm, live'm. Respect. Respect. Respect.
2. Ignore any haters. They will be gone in the morning anyway. (You'll see.)
3. Read and get a feel for how the others post and deal with each other.
4. Pay particular attention to member's named @asus, these people take
this very serious, they want nothing more than to help,learn and make
ROG the best it can be for all of us, its their job. Believe it.
5. Learn the mechanics of the forum, adding images, video..ect.
there was a great piece on this from Brian@Asus the Admin.
6. Consider putting your rig in your signature, we all want to know, you will too.
7. Check your style, you dont need to use suggested slangs to make your
point here. And its simply not allowed. (OK, you got me..I had to learn
this one...and I am still sorry for that.)
8. For anyone that doesn't know this: ( I didn't..still seems laughable to me)
CAPS is considered yelling at someone. I have found after rereading some
of th posts I wrote all in caps, and reading so many posts..yes..and it is very
hard on the eyes. Look, its like drugs, if you don't start, you don't have to
stop.
9. Use the search for the @asus guyz and others that catch your eye for their
posts. This is the fast track to reviews, updates, how-to's and so, so many
other subjects.
10. Do not be to concerned with your english skills (unless you have them and don't
use them, thats just rude.) but, if english is a second language or for whatever
reason english wasn't your best subject in school (I am certainly no grammar
expert and have no intention of ever becoming one.) DO NOT let that stop or even
cause you hesitation from asking or posting in any way. I have found some
amazing views from some that stumbled a bit with english, yet are simply
talented and personally I consider this my short fall at not knowing their language.
We will all loose if you dont share. (And as I pointed out above, More importantantly,
I would feel as if I lose...Afterall, This is all about me, Remember..haha)
11.Above All: Put a big smile on your face and relax. Whatever question you
have are a few clicks on the keyboard away, and answered. (With a little patience.)
Keep that smile on your face as you read and especially when you post. I think
most you will find here will be smiling back. And Post, Ask..and offer.
12. And Please be patient with everyone. Most are here on their dime. Working for
free. Even those with the @asus that are getting checks, if you read between the
lines and start adding things up you will see...even they are here on their clock
as much and many time more than most. It is truly, and I cant say this enough, I
believe, about learning, growing and being the best it can be. ie: (Not to singe anyone
out, because this is true I am sure of most of the @asus guyz here.) But I noticed
this in my travels here: Raja@Asus mentioned to another that "that when you handle
over 1000 tech support requests per month, you learn to use word sparingly."
(As you can see I haven't quite mastered that myself.) Yet, as you read and
go about this forum...he and all the @asus'r's are everywhere, tirelessly...WOW.
And further believe this, The RogPolice are always watching.. :)< This smile might be them now!>
A whole lotta selflessness go'n on here. A beautiful thing. Be proudly part of it.
Let me take one more second:(Please Excuse Me Ladies, I mean no disrespect ever when
useing terms suchs as brothers, guys, ect. as this is in no way intended as gender
identification...if this were any other fox hole and someone with red and silver, like
yours, jumped in, you wouldn't be concerned either as to gender. Ladies are, at all
times respected, by me, above all men. Its the Arthurian way.) I think it a bit sexist
on anyone's part to be offended, by such words, if they were.
When will we all learn to be truly color/gender/your GOD/my GOD blind.
(I was looking at your brain, the purity of your heart and your LIGHT, Sorry..hehehehe)
As for me, I am here to learn and offer any help I can. And always when asked. It is my
way. It is my pleasure. The bonus has been the rapport I have found with some
genuinely like minded people. So, consider us now freinds. If there is anything you want
to ask me. If there is the smallest of things you think I might be able to help with in the smallest of ways, or in some cases big ways, ASK !!!..yes, I shouted that, as to be
perfectly clear. I promise you this, and anyone that really knows me will tell you, I will do
my very best or point you in the direction of someone I sincerely think can.
You will find this true of most you encounter here as you wade on in. Just be careful
of those warm spots in the pool.
(And..knock that stuff off..you know who you are..hahaha)
and see......have fun..we all like a good laugh.
Smile.
Splash!!!
Sincerely Offered..
