Pmming Moderators

[Auntie Mangos]

Lately I've noticed a slight uptick in the number of private messages I've been getting for installation support.

Installations are hard work, especially if you're new to installing servers, or the operating system for them. We moderators appreciate that. But please, new users: give the forum community a chance to work for YOU.

PMming mods about installation issues is often unnecessary. These forums are almost unimaginably active -- there are thousands of users out there who might be able to help you. If you PM only one of us and we don't have your answer, you're out of luck. If you post to the forums, someone might know how to help you.

So, please: If you need help post a thread in the appropriate forum. It is also helpful to subscribe to threads -- that way you can keep tabs on all the threads you've posted/have responded to.

For those of you wishing more ... immediate help: try IRC. Open up GAIM, open a new IRC account, and point it to irc.freenode.net, and join the #mmorpg-dev channel. Be advised that #mmorpg-dev can be very busy at times, but the users there might be able to point you in the right direction.

With kind regards,

Master Control Program, your kind forum administrator bot.
