Oh and since you are apparently unaware of how to use the Search Feature . . .

Let's take a look at the rules: [ QUOTE ] 4. Know the search function. Use the search function. Before you ask a question, please check the “Important Information” section of the message boards and the Customer Service Knowledge Base. If your answer is not there, please use the “Search” function located at the top of every page of the boards. Your question may have already been asked and answered elsewhere on the forums. Look in the Player Questions, Dev Digest, Developers Corner, and Guides sections as well! [/ QUOTE ] Now that, my friend, is a nice piece of advice. I know your idea is so original, but... it wouldn't hurt to check to see if someone beat you to the punch. Now, how do you use this "Search Function?" Well, there's the tricky part. The search function itself is a product of a world of demons: a dimension in which Kafkaesque nightmares maraud through the minds of its inhabitants. To use it, you will have to master multivariable calculus in Navajo. And some quantum physics, but that'll breeze by after four semesters of Navajo. "But Ostrakon, that's too hard! Clearly, its difficulty absolves me from having to follow the rules, allowing me to post the fourth thread about power customization today!" Yeah, you would say that. Well, kiddo, I'm not letting you off the hook. But it's okay, I learned the Navajo so you won't have to. Let me introduce you to Ostrakon's new and improved search function. You can thank me later. Yeah, that's right. You can use Google to search the CoX boards. You know how to use Google, right? Just keep the "site:boards.cityofheroes.com" tag in the link above, and add your idea after a space. Hit the "search" button. Ka-zam! You'll find exactly what you're looking for! Sometimes it helps to add quotes to what you're searching for. For example, you might be searching for "power customization" or "Pyre Mastery for Scrappers". See? It works great, and it's pretty darn easy to use. Wanna take your chances and submit without searching? I wouldn't. The new mods, Koschej and Niviene, have actually been enforcing rules lately. Constantly regurgitated idea threads will likely be next. Let's put it this way. Take a d20. (That's a twenty-sided die, in case you didn't know.) Roll it. Did it spontaneously combust in a blaze of white fire? I'm guessing not. The odds that your idea is actually original are roughly the same as rolling a d20 and having it come up "deific flames." Which is pretty low, to say the least. Know the search function. Use the search function. 'Cause you don't have an excuse anymore.

This thread just happens to be stickied by the Mods for everyone to use in this very section of the forums.

Glad I could be of help.

You're welcome.

Moans about the search feature..Moans about people telling this person to use the search feature before posting....Can we just shout this person please instead..it'll free up the forums from threads like this....I hope the answer you got we'll make you use the search feature next time, and btw..i've never had a problem with it.

More cases of selective memory. I never once said I was attacked, I said the post was attacked.

But if you must type something to make you feel better by all means.

In the end. I got my answer. And I never said I never use the Search, I said I found it pathetic.

The end.

I find myself liking Forbin more and more lately. He definitely has a way with words.

suriel should be lucky enough that i didn't post in this... oh ****, there i go. i have now posted in this thread.

trying to back pedal and say that you didn't say what you said when we can clearly read what you said is a very bad thing. next time, use the search. it is the word at the top of the screen that is in between new posts and quick links. if you don't know how to use it, there is a sticky on every section i believe that tells you how to use the search.

i am surprised that i was calm about this. anyone else?

hey hey hey you 2. i was being nice. even though i know(well hope) that wasn't directed at me...

BOYS! behave does every single thread HAVE to turn into a flame war. Frankly let's face facts here the game and these forums are 6 years old. After that amount of time, short of posts about the latest movie coming out or the latest speculation/rant on Going Rogue, exactly what hasn't been discussed a thousand times?

Good or bad all the OP did was ask a question. He got a decent response along with several snide remarks because "OMG someone brought that up again?" To be honest if you'd ingored his post completely instead of picking at it like a scab he'd have gotten his answer, smiled happily, and the whole thread would have died quickly.

I'm sorry if this botheres some of you but I see the same thing happen in game. A new player, okay so the OP admits he's been around a while, asks a question in broadcast and 15 vets use this opportunity to "Pick on the Noob". Such a lovely way to greet a new player trying to learn the game and then we see REPEATED posts here about the game being doomed and subscriptions are down... Dooooooom! Of course I'm not saying everyone is that way and unless I am engaged myself I frequently answer questions. yeah even ones that "EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW ALREADY"

If we eliminate every thread/post that's already been discussed here we are down to forum games, ads for upcoming events, Congratulations for making 50 level (for the first time or again), Fan Art and screenshots. LOL okay that lists a little short but it gets the idea across.. the idea of these forums was for players to help each other not to cop an attitude and say "Go look it up!" In the same amount of time it took you to post and bad mouth the question you could have simply answered it and the whole issue would have been resolved without people screaming at each other.

/e climbs down off soap box, smiles and moves on

Did someone mention flames?

Just run your nails down a chalkboard. It's worked for "you" in the past.
