Everyone is entitled to adaquate answers to their pressing questions. Not everyone can afford spiraling diagnostic costs from these out of control Honda dealerships. I say free advice for everyone!

Noob... Well... I'd say that it's when you start contributing to the society around here...
Could be offering up advice or just being wacky...
Doesn't matter... Me am doing a bit of both... 
If you show up enough for people to know who you are, then your not a noob anymore...

I agree, with Tweety on what makes you a noob. If you contribute to the forum then not a noob. If all you do is ask questions, and take take take, then noob.
I read almost every thread and I never thought we where mean to noobs.

I do agree, seeing "search" all the time gets old, but I also understand the flip side. I usually do the search, provide the results and a smart *** comment like "see how easy that was".
It's a battle that will never be won. Even if there is a "new guy" post that should be read, you know everyone won't read it.
I know where noob came from, but this is probably a more accurate term for the new guys, we use it on Submarines: NUB - None Useful Body They're good for nothing until they learn and get qualified. Most people are NUBs when they come here, then they read/learn/attempt and have useful info to provide to the new NUBs.

Yeah, a lot of times folks are just looking for people to interact with because they're psyched about their new Super Hawk.
The "use the search" advise is helpful, but the snooty attitude isn't. (BTW, I am far superior to those with snooty attitudes.

Harsh, yes... Tongue in check whacky comments, yes... But mean... No, definetly not... I haven't seen that on the forum, generally we kind of moderate ourselfes...
If anyone is offended by me, say it... That's how I work... I'm allergic to PC...
God know's I have offended people... Sometimes just by being in tha same room...

I read about 90% of the posts. I've seen some harshness, but not down right meanness to noobs.

Weird?
If some noob makes a post just asking questions, I usually leave it, but when their grammar is terrible and/or they have their Cool Cruise Control aka Caps Lock on, I just can't help myself. Besides, most of the time the "flaming" is harmless and could be MUCH worse.
By the same token Drew, if you don't like the flaming, don't read it!
And thumper61713, I'd hardly call my last "flame" freaking out. And I did exactly what you suggested in your post, giving the OP a bit of info, so **** off.

Ha Ha! I prefer a New York Strip, but when a Swede has to correct an American on the proper use of the English language, it's not long before we'll all be surviving on fried possum or roof rat on corn tortillas!

Nah leave the possums alone, New York Strip is way better... I just can't help myself... But it took me atleast 3-4 minutes of going... Nah... that had to be deliberate, before posting...

Well, if you'd learn to read, you'd see that I replied again at 9am that morning, and you replied RIGHT after me 5 hours later...

These bikes have been here for 10 years, pretty much everything to be known has been posted at some point. Almost everything is covered somewhere in the archives. If all we did was search there'd be no forum.
