Sir GH> You're absolutely right but maybe newbies want to be part of the board, even with that kind of questions..... I believe there are more stupid ones from old members regarding sarcasm. I mean one thing is to make a funny remark and other one is keep attacking and being "funny" at people expenses... Just my opinion, but at the end of the day, people can post whatever they want. Is just my point of view anyway. |

Asking questions about Queen on a Queen fan site. How absurd. |
| Janet 24.08.2004 16:26 |
Easy to answer too. |
| Janet 24.08.2004 16:34 |
And it also doesn't hurt to show a little kindness at times, either. |

It actually takes less time to do an internet search for a simple question, than to post a question on a message board and then wait for the answer. Come on - Show a little initiative. No one wants to live next door to a neighbor that plays helpless, and asks for help for simple things every day ... if you cannot find the answer after a simple search, then ask the message board ... |
| Janet 24.08.2004 18:04 |
But don't you think that very young fans might use a simple question as a way to jump in and get aquainted on the messageboards? I guess I just don't understand why everyone gets so up in arms about it. |

At the end of the day, they will always do it guys, so get used to it, or leave. the end. 1) did freddie have children? / was he married to mary austin? 2) whats your favourite- album, single, member of the band etc and you have said the rest my favourite by OLD members 1) i hate baer, dont you? ok lets ignore him... no i dont want to... but if you dont he wont go away... but hes good... no hes not etc 2)stupid newbies, i hate newbies. they are so new and they ask the same things over and over 3) *insert stupid technical question here thats boring and that nobody cares about really* eg which chord did brian play at four minutes 20 seconds of *insert song* |

| Libor2 25.08.2004 08:38 |
Hmm, this topic is funny. Are you bored so much to start this one, FriedChicken ? On one side I can see a lot of complains from so called ’old’ members about silly questions ’new’ ones ask and on the other side you start topic about these ’newbie’ questions. Isn’t this strange ? <shaking head> I’m with Janet here. All of us have possibility not to answer to questions which seem to us dummy. Or - we could answer it - and if we do, then try to be not harsh. I know sometimes this could be hard, but maybe it’s better to count to ten (or maybe to one hundred) before answering. My two cents. |
| The Real Wizard 25.08.2004 11:19 |
Mrs. Freddie Mercury wrote: And what is all this "Freddie" stuff,people? It's "FREDDIE"! I've noticed that the non-newbies are doing this more than the newbies are. Must be getting senile. :)We're just doing it in reaction to the newbies saying Freddie. Of course we know it's spelled Fradyiee. |
| Zander05 25.08.2004 19:54 |
It could be worse, newbies could go to the VH1 (American) site and look up Queen stuff and have all the wrong info and try to show it off for us as if they need to impress us. Or, they could have purchased a pic on eBay and it turned out to be a Queen Rocks poster autographed by Freddie. But yeah, I'm getting tired of a lot of questions. Kids, it's called a SEARCH ENGINE for a reason! The internet is your oyster! |
| Garden Lodge 25.08.2004 21:13 |
I love to suft into Queenzone daily. I'm just sick and tired of all those "experts" claiming to know everything just because they have 2,000,000 posts to their names..... I mean, the main idea of the board is to have fun and have a place to share or learn or just to have fun. That's the great thing about this places! I would only ask people (like Fried Chicken or Pim Derks for example)to take it ease on people. We already know that you know ALL the answers!! Just keep this thing an "easy going" board... |
| Virtuoso 25.08.2004 22:53 |
If a question appears radically dumb,it's quite simple really,don't retaliate!Let the other members that have enough descency to give a sincer respond.It still boggles me when some people feel obligated to answer a question with sarcastic remarks,which honestly they can just easely ignore it.Oh,how ironic...I just made the same mistake. |
| Ms. Bea Haven 25.08.2004 23:18 |
I'm a 'newbie' - big deal. This is only my 2nd post. But I do have a question, and I don't think it's a stupid question: Who here has had the opportunity to meet any of the band members? I met Brian in 1991 (and almost got fired from my job the very same day because of it). Was this in some thread eons ago? (Frankly, I just don't care to go looking through the archives.) |
| Goo 25.08.2004 23:30 |
Personally, I actually enjoy all the sarcastic remarks said by Pim and Fried and such. Yes, this board is to have fun discussing Queen, and isn't that just what they're doing? If a newbie is going to be lazy enough to ask a simple question on the board, then can't the rest of us at least appreciate the actual EFFORT of making up a good joke, that some people put in to make the junk posts at least somewhat funny? If it weren't for them, the people who already know the answers to those questions will have nothing to look forward to when reading those posts. Someone else said some remark about how would you feel if you were being made fun of, or something. I would just like to add that I am a newbie, and have never yet been made fun of once. However, I do still feel that I have been participating as much as I ever wanted to, by replying posts where people ask for my opinion, rather than asking something that I could just find out for myself. I'm not saying that I like it when people call newbies "stupid", and I personally have no problem mustering up the patience to answer an unnecessary question, but I don't think anyone should be hard on the people who choose to put a bit of humour into the posts that piss so many people off. |
| Gunpowder Gelatine 25.08.2004 23:43 |
I think Goo said it perfectly. People just get annoyed with the same questions being asked over and over, especially when some of the answers are easily found with just a little searching, so they respond to it by giving less than serious answers. And it's not like every newbie who comes on these boards gets made fun of. It's just the people who flood the boards with useless posts. |
| Garden Lodge 25.08.2004 23:48 |
Me too... Im a mexican that moved to Vancouver Canada. Actually one of my best friend's brother was one of the journalists crew that hanged out with the band in '81 when they had their bad experience in Mexico. He invited me and there I was at one of the bashes with the four of them!! Lots of people there...I actually got a "A night at the Opera" signed by the four of them all dedicated to me, as I was one of the kids (I was 15 at that time). John and freddie were the ones making big fun because I was there. He actually said: "With whom you're with here Darling?" and turned around and left.. I actually chatted with John a little bit more and he asked me how to say things in Spanish!! I was really petrified and it lasted like 15 minutes......I'll never forget it...ever |
| Mr. Scully 26.08.2004 05:06 |
This has nothing to do with "newbies" or "old members". It's about stupid posts, normal posts and good posts. I have almost stopped reading and contributing to Queenzone in the past year because to me it looks less and less enjoyable. All the topics we have had here before (the search function does work, doesn't it?), all the same questions about favourite songs and In Nuce. I think Niek was only asking others to use search engines a bit - what's wrong about that? If you want to know how your favourite football team played yesterday, will you read the newspaper that is on the table in front of you or will you go to your neighbour and ask him? |
| ♥Killer_Queen1946♥ 26.08.2004 07:47 |
3. What does Teo Torriate means Okay,I'm really sorry about that, but I really wanted to know what it meant! And I did google it. It did not work. Sorry :) |
| Billie 26.08.2004 09:21 |
And don't forget what does it mean the "Rivers of Blood"!! Everyone was a newbie sometime, and i asked that! ;) |
| iGSM 26.08.2004 09:27 |
Is this going to turn out like the Russian Revolution? The 'oldies' become the aristocrats and the 'newbies' are the struggling peasants who get eaten by Trogdor! |
| BrianRules 26.08.2004 09:58 |
I was fortunate enough to meet Brian twice in '93, but I've been following them since '74, so I kind of feel like I know them all! |
| iGSM 26.08.2004 10:07 |
Damn. I'd love to meet him, fumble some incoherent crap out of my mouth then shove a pen and paper under his nose asking him to sign it. |
| radio_what's_new 26.08.2004 15:04 |
So what if you know all USELESS info about Queen that even Brian rog and john don't know!!! WHO GIVES A FUCK???? I don't the music is what counts losers |

When are all of you going to realize that it doesnt matter if your a newbie or not hell ive been coming to this site for almost a year and a half now and have liked queen for a lot longer and i just recently decided to join in on the message boards and become a member. did you ever stop and think that could be the case with other people too. And for the record no question about queen is stupid and you have to remeber that not all people our bitter and so lazy that cant answer a newbies question. I mean you should be glad to because your helping someone else love queen even more. |
| iGSM 27.08.2004 02:00 |

Mr. Scully wrote: I have almost stopped reading and contributing to Queenzone in the past year because to me it looks less and less enjoyable.And that's another sad thing... Because the board is becoming totally filled with threads like "Freddie=Frodo" or "Freddie Mercury looks like Saddam Hussain", the people with immense knowledge about Queen are getting bored and aren't contributing as much as they were doing 1-2 years ago... All those who arrived recently don't even know what they're loosing!!! Wstussyb doesn't almost write at all, Martin- less, John S Stuart (although for different reasons)- same... C'mon! Do you really want to discus your favourite songs or albums forever and ever or would you rather learn some amazing new stuff from ppl who do know!!!??? |
