Someone just made a great suggestion:

I think they should divide up the forum, along the lines of the pro and con HR20 forces. We "ranters/whiners" would love nothing more than to be left alone...
Let's use this thread for rants about all that is bad about the HR-20. Don't leave out a thing!

If someone chooses to read this thread, they know what to expect.

So come on in. The water is (cold, hot, deep, awful)!

Enjoy!

Seems to me a massive cut and paste job is in order. No need to reinvent the wheel.

In fact, I may just waste an hour or two doing some cutting and pasting into an HR20 "Love-In" thread. I think it would be hilarious. On the other hand, and I'm biased, I think the HR20 ranters are a much more witty crowd, with a sharper, wiser, hipper worldview.

I second that. Pointless. If you have a specific problem, post it. :mad: This is a Q&A forum, nothing else. Besdies this will probably be buried on the second page by tomorrow. Someone please close.

Pointless. Almost every thread on here is a rant thread, and you'll never get people to keep it all in here.

I vote for this thread to be deleted.
Maybe if they had a place to rant, the other threads could focus on solving problems and helping others.

You would. And your response sort of proves my point.

My response was a joke... I figured the use of the phrase "poop heads" and three crying smilies would make that obvious, but I guess not.
The ranters/complainers cant take a joke bro, you should know that by now..:D

joke (jōk) pronunciation
n.

1. Something said or done to evoke laughter or amusement, especially an amusing story with a punch line.
2. A mischievous trick; a prank.
3. An amusing or ludicrous incident or situation.

Hmm, doesn't seem to fit any of these definitions.

Truly written by someone who just doesn't get it.

Don't you get it, the majority of posts here are about problems that users are having, if things were going well, most of the posts would be about new features they would like, or general questions. What you call rants, is frustration built up from people who have been having problems for quite a while or who have expectations that what they were sold actually does what they were told it would do. This is not the happy sunshine ass blowing forum. If you don't like how people share the issues they are experiencing you don't have to read them, but you don't need to demean them or discount them. If someone comes on and explains their problem, if I have the same problem it is a good thing that this information is shared. If I have an informed opinion about the quality of this product as a user of it, I can share it any way I want. If the users here have the qualifications to critique the apparent quality of their code and QA processes, that is also ok to do. What is rude, is to consistently put down or discount those of us with problems just because you don't like it and you perceive them as negative. Who are you to decide what is a rant or negative. It is also equally as rude to jump into a thread where people are discussion a problem and say you should leave, return your equipment, quit D* etc. etc, because people are sharing their issues and experiences. Did you consider creating a thread about things you like? That would be constructive instead you decided to go trolling, congratulation you were successful.

No... this is not the type of thread that add's any benefit to the forum.

If you have an issue, open a specific thread on that issue...
