What is with this forum?!
I'm not new to Macs, I'm not new to computers, but I AM new to this forum. I got a subscription to the magazine and thought I'd check it out on the web. So far I see a half dozen people people who are helpful and know a lot about the computing industry, and there just as many name calling a$$holes who hijack every thread, change the topic to suit their own agenda, then bash those who oppose them or point out flaws in their logic. WHAT THE HELL?! It's as if this place isn't even moderated. Doesn't MacAddict magazine have a reputation to uphold? Because they sure let trolls and power hungry jerks turn every topic into a warzone. Imagine we were all sitting in the same room together- would you still be talking the same ammount of trash? I highly doubt it. So quit hiding behind the internet and act like civilized people OK?
Thanks.

Yes, but aren't they pretty? Look at that beautiful phpbb2 aqua-ish color scheme.

I'm beautiful. Are you?
Wow, with responses like these, it's no wonder MacAddict forums are among the least popular places for REAL Mac users to talk online. I'm glad a magazine provides a place for it's 12 juvenile readers to turn every visitor off to their publication.

Me too.
Oh, wait...
Spirit was crushed; now is fading, But I want to help make things right.
Because I can see and I can feel, and you can see and you can feel
So why don't we both either stand up and fight
Or at least together we'll call it a night.

Everyone needs to chill and some people will get the penalty box if I notice a trend in personal attacks.

Now let's move on and leave the new guy alone.
