Am I the only one who has noticed that most of the newer users don't include any of their personal info, such as a bio, what they use, or their e-mail?

That kinda pisses me off, cuz if they have a problem, how am I supposed to help them?

You aren't alone, DSP. I like writing bios, so I always remember to write a nice one. I would like to see more than "Occupation: Student" on most users.

going back on topic...

I have counted almost 50+ users with no profile... I think it's just to ask a question... like the popular "How do I get games on my calc?" or "Wats the best game for ur 84+?"

Some new users make usernames because they can, or just to rate a file, I'd imagine.

And I'm pretty sure I get the joke.

It's H2G2. If you don't get that, then you prolly don't get the joke.

The funny thing is, almost everyone has where they live in their info but nothing else!

hmmm...well I personally think that new users don't want to put a profile in because they're new and they don't want others to know about their own info.

Yeah, but you should at least fill out what kind of calc you have, your time zone, and your alternate contact.

I agree. There is nothing to worry about here. At least include what your main platform is, and at least one contact that those who wish to help you can reach you.
