[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 3rdamention:
All of these complaints about "newbs" etc, and wanting the negativity to stop. Then you post an almost hateful thread telling everyone to "leave?" That is a bit hypocritical don't you think?

These forums are very well respected, the users are very smart, and respected as well. The Prime has generated so much hype based on its Specs and Competitive Price. Everyone wanted one, and in their research of the prime, where to get it, how it performs, many people were led here. THE PLACE for Asus Transformer News, Help, Suggestions, etc.

Then, people get their Primes, and many have had an assortment of problems. Where do you go when you have problems? Where do you go when something doesn't appear to perform correctly? Where do you go when you have questions? You go to the experts. Thus, many people came here. One simple Google Search of "Asus Transformer Prime Forums" leads people HERE!! That is a good thing.

Now just a few weeks later, the XDA Veterans continue to complain about "newbs" or "noobs" and want them to leave. They constantly talk about how great the forums used to be and they cannot wait for it to return to "normal."

I thought some of you XDA veterans would be honored to have so many new people here on XDA. It multiplies the number of people that look at the Ads at the top of each forum, I am looking at one right now for TwoFour54.com at the top of the screen as I type this. The increase in users also increases the openings for Advertisers wanting to advertise here. For example, now those who run XDA can say "We have XXXXX amount of users compared to XXXXX amount of users just a month ago!" This will open the doors for more money making opportunities for XDA. Also, it the increase in user base increases the number of people here who can help others who have issues. Who knows, when one of the "vets" have an issue, it could be one of the "newbs" who have a great suggestion that could help YOU!

Instead, many of you just push everyone away. You ask everyone to stop complaining instead of ignoring the negative threads, or linking to threads where the answers can be found. It is disappointing that so many of you are so quick to want to push people away instead of setting positive examples for what this community can and should be.

I am happy that I live in a world that appears to be more accepting and tolerant of people than these forums want to be. So many people are on the attack here, instead of simply helping people. I have watched these forums go from such a helpful and respected place, to an almost vial and hateful place in just 2 short weeks. This can be attributed to the "newbs" as much as the "veterans" who have been here all along. And that, in my opinion, is sad.

If you want these forums to behave or act a certain way, go about modeling that behavior in a positive way. Don't make threads like this where they attack the new user base. As much as many of you want everyone to leave, you should embrace them, help them, accept them into your "click." It is better for Asus, it is better for XDA, and it is better for all of you "vets" who have been here from the beginning.

This is a very disappointing thread and some of the posts in here are equally as disappointing.
