The thing that bothers me is something that I was discussing with Quaunaut yesterday. The NS OT forum used to be a lot more like a community. People would occasionally make posts asking for advice or talking about something bad happening in their life and, while there would be the occasional joke tossed in, everyone would try to help the person or console them. Now threads are mostly jokes, sarcasm and people saying "get over it".
My advice to anyone who gets annoyed by "help me" threads: Shut up. Nobody cares. This person is asking for advice, not jokes. If you're not going to help, do everyone a favour and click the little X in the top-right corner of your screen.
"Get over it" is quite a bit of help, actually. A lot of things can be solved by simply stopping the problem. Believe me, I've done it myself. Just. Stop.
