As a new user I do agree, its a bit cheeky posting for the sake of it just to gain a download, That was my initial intention, but its actually a good site and am glad I came across it.

The reality of the situation is that there are plenty of places where downloads are available. A lot of those places are pretty good too and I enjoy the ability of being able to visit them and have a chat or a joke with the other members of the sites. I expect that most of the members here are also members of other forums just like myself and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I feel comfortable enough to visit those forums without feeling obligated to leave a message every-time I visit or download from my favourite uploader. I do however like the idea of the thanks button that is available on this site, its a pretty quick and painless method to show appreciation for a download or whatever and when you are tired, cant think what to say or just pushed for time, it is a spot on solution and gives the respect due.

I must admit that virtually all the places where I am a member, did have a minimum posting rule when I joined, that isn't so much a problem but as mentioned in this thread, it just leads to a lot of clutter as newbies to a site like I am to this one, have not settled in yet and have no real idea what is really expected or what they can or can not say without offending other folk.

As I also mentioned in another post, this is a pretty easy going forum, there are a few places that rigidly enforce the rules for trivial mistakes, the impression that I have gained from posts here, is that the Mods etc use a little common sense and are not put out too much if they need to tidy the content of a post or move it to the right location if need be. I also know that I have made the odd minor mistake along the way and probably will again so it is good to know that if an incident happened, it would be dealt with in a friendly and professional manner.

very necky indeed (haha did make me chuckle to be honest).

Probably better these type's of people get what they want and leave. Dont take it personal guys, there are leachers in all walks of life. At least this guy was up front, and he's lost out on any future help he may require. Just my 2p worth.

Thanks Guvnor
