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

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+?"

And I'm pretty sure I get the joke. |

Jonny23451 Ultralisk Posted: 16 Apr 2005 07:32 GMT Total Posts: 214 | 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. |

Posted: 16 Apr 2005 20:24 GMT Total Posts: 1005 | 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. |
