And don't forget, everyone here has lives outside of the JA (OK, I'll be honest - *most* of them :P), so you can't expect a productive reply right away. Orion's great about responding to his thread, but sometimes it takes him a day or two. Hold your horses! ;)

Yeah, we're free. And when we don't know the answer, we say "I don't know" instead of taking up an hour of your time. :D

I've just gone back about 5 or 6 pages in academy discussion, and I only see one other thread that you've made, in which the gracious Setementor had answered your question. I can't see anywhere else that you've gone and asked questions without being attended to.

Not all the JAK+ are techies. I can tell you right now, I know zero about computers, other than basic operations, and running games. There is no point posting if there is nothing useful to post, you should know that. The JAK+ do help where they can. They are volunteers, not servants. They take the time out of their lives to make this place better for you guys. Orion, for example, has a life and a kickass job, from the way he was *cough bragging cough* in General Discussion (:P). Just because we don't answer doesn't mean we don't read your problems, it just means we have nothing useful to add.

If you would prefer 20 replies of 'Sorry bro, no clue', then you're wasting your time.

And yes, very good points by Jacen and JJ as well.

The JA is getting pretty big now, in terms of the number of members we have. Everyone used to be very close, but now, because the range of personalities is so big, we're not as close anymore. Ach well.. i've got my friends, and that's all I care about, heh.

Yeah dude, the JA hasn't changed at all when it comes to these things. We help when we can, if we can't, it would be pointless to post saying "Sorry, I don't know what to do," so we let it go for someone who has something helpful to say.


Actually, I think he's referring back to the days when you could post a thread for help, and get twenty replies on one day. Usually, they did contain your answer.
Nowadays, people just don't take that time anymore it seems, and just look away.
I'm not saying I don't do this, because I do, from time to time, but I try not to.

Noone in the JA - staff as well as students - has ever been obliged to do any sort of tech help, no matter how far back you go.

We don't have to help you, we do simply because we want to; however, we don't know everything, and as such cannot be expected to help with everything.

There are probably other sites with forums which actually deal with these kind of problems - just give it a Google. :D
