They bookmark the queue or playlist, which is fine. The problem is they then don't think to go check the homepage before asking what's going on. |

Mmmmkay....
So when what I wanted to know was when or if the song library would be coming back in full, I should have gone and looked at the home page. Currently posted there, for those who don't visit it often, is this curious tidbit of massively useful information:

| The move to the new sever is complete, with the exception of the song library which is still ongoing. Please excuse our shortened playlist and any interruptions which may occur during this time. |
From that, I can read between the lines as far as that the full song library will eventually be coming back. As far as when that would happen or be completed (something you'd think newbies who have been here a while might ask), it's "ongoing".

| The fact that you're asking in the chat anyways tells us that we've personally wasted our time posting on the homepage for you. |
Put everything I might ask on the home page, and you would be wasting your time. It wouldn't be readable, would be waaaaay too long, and nobody would even bother to look at it. Instead, you take the sensible notion of putting enough information up to satisfy the idly curious and then lambast anybody who you think implies that your efforts aren't appreciated.
Oddly enough, this guy actually got his question answered. I guess you have to be a genuine newbie to be treated politely - either that or just watch who you bother talking to.

Altoid knows sh*t when the library move is complete. Even we mods don't know it exaclty. Altoid is just guessing. There is one thing worse than giving no info, and that is giving bad info.
For the record I am not bashing you Reijklin, I am bashing Altoid. |

Oh, this is still a civil discussion by most standards. 
Migrating a library the size of this site's from one server to another is a monumental task, and I applaud the effort. What I take exception to is being told I'm an idiot for asking a question that the site administrators don't know the answer to either. If you don't know or can't say, fine - assuming I don't know the answer because I've been told and am too stupid to figure it out is insulting and uncalled for. What I was asking wasn't covered in the information posted on the site.

It wasn't a shot at anybody, Cocles - Legolas' post wasn't directed at me, and I was replying in kind. What I have to wonder is why you'd be so defensive about something I specifically said wasn't directed at you. |

Sorry people...It seems that right after my post (Posted: Tue Jun 08, 2004 7:41 am), this topic went "off-topic". Sorry about that. 
Maybe we can get back to Pet Peeves...

Yes, it's all your fault. The nice men in the white coats will be arriving to take you away shortly.
Pet peeves...hmm....
Cold coffee. |

Walking into a dark bathroom in the middle of the night and stepping on a wet bathmat.
When other people use my desk at work on my day off and move things.
Parents who take children under the age of four to a 2 1/2 hour long movie in the theater.
Hangnails.
Mistaking salt for sugar when sleepy and making my coffee in the morning (yes, I've actually done that). |

 I haven't done that - I don't have to worry since I don't take sugar in my coffee .I HATE when people chew gum with their mouth open!!! I HATE it when people shuffle their feet on the floor. What's the matter, can't you pick up your feet when you walk?

Picking up a glass and having the coaster first stick to it, then fall on the table.
People reaching across my plate for something else on the table.
Getting a shock of static electricity from somebody who shuffles their feet. |

People who come along behind me and re arrange the dishes in the diswasher when I'm loading it.

Yeah, Reijklin. That's all we know. That it's ongoing. And as far as I remember your first question was "What's up with the Playlist?", which we DID answerer on the homepage. That's what got you nailed.
What you're trying to do now is ignore that and pretend we nailed you for your second question, "How long will it be before the songs are up?"
We didn't lambast you for that question. As far as I'm concerned you're twisting the truth and basically just lying in order to make yourself look good.

We put up whatever info we know, not just enough for the "idly curious". You got lambasted because you asked a question that WAS answered on the homepage.

Usually I'd just say doofus or dingus... but in this case I'll just say, dillhole.
You actually think some random listener like Altoid knows how long it's going to take, when even the mods and admins don't? In fact you believe him SO much that you make it part of the basis of your argument?
You're almost making me feel sorry for you.
The fact is, someone posted a pet peeve on here, and you replied by taking a shot at some people who annoyed you. Yeah yeah, you say you weren't taking a shot. Whatever.
Why did I reply? Because I'm one of the guys who posts the info on the homepage. I thought that was clear.
Don't let the short bus crash on your way to school. |
