    Is this a place for general tech support?

    If not can someone tell me where I can get good help on these problems?

    1) "Sick" computer. I mean this computer has serious performance issues, windows errors, hard drive device errores etc.

    2) Turning some unused wireless routers into repeaters or extenders of my wireless network.

    The short answer is YES. However, this is a file sharing community. My advise to you is make sure your questions are well thought out. Also make sure that you tried all other avenues such as google for your answers. ZP has a few resident experts, but without mentioning any names, they have very little patience for stupidity. So just make sure your questions are of an intelligent nature and so will your responses.

    Allow me to translate.

    Yes. You will find a vast wealth of information on this site. Be prepared to fight for it, and be bashed like you've never been bashed before. The more knowledge people have on a subject here, the bigger the asshole they are. It's called the pecking order. Cock size and how much you can benchpress don't work on the net, but the knowledge to help someone make their computer run again can make you god.

    I would say no. This really isn't a great place to get pc help unless you've been around for awhile. Or you have an extremely high abuse tolerance.

    -the outcome of a Star Destoyer/Enterprise Battle
    -how hot (insert beautiful actress) is
    -Kung Fu flix

    Yeah, you forgot to mention that there's a shitload of news here; and that you're going to have to sift through the shitpile to find anything.
    People standin on top of the white house, there's people standin up on capital hill...
    They stand up there, sound like they know something...
    They all still wake up in the morning, drink a cup of coffee and take a shit, they aint better than I am.
    And they dance around a problem... say this... talk about the eco-nomic imp-li-cations...

    But their grandfather, great great grandfather, was just like my great great grandfather, just a bunch of monkeys swingin up in trees shittin in the woods.

    Not really CRLocky, as all it takes is a look in the right section, or asking the right question.

    Well it doesnt take much thinking to figure out you should not be looking for tec support in a news section. News has alway been important to Jorge, and Chris, and will reman so.

    It kind of reminds me of Jason Goes to Hell.


    You can get great help here, as long as you are willing to let Krell break one of your fingers for each bit of info.

    It is nowhere near that bad. If you encounter some grumpy folks, its because they have answered the same question all too many times. A question all too often that the answer could have been found on qoogle.

    I dont mind breaking fingers, they are usually the one I get in return for helping people anyway, and pointing out the painfully obvious overlooked by not spending 2 minutes to google their answer.

    There are only about 5 or 6 people on ZP that actually TRY to offer support, the rest of you . . . well . . . I dont know what the fuck you do, but it isnt any kind of tech support.


    I think RACKnRAIL said it best, the rest is fodder.

    Agreed, there is a lot of bitching around here (as seen in this thread) that is directed at people who actually offer help. Sure it can be frustrating sometimes to try an talk someone thru the most basic of steps and some folk need to let of steam, it is a small price to pay.

    I say unless you actually take the time to answer a billion "help i cant turn my pc on" threads then dont bother complaining about the people who actually do.

    Now lets all get along there's no need for all this gripe. :icon_flow
