Not a stupid question at all. But isn't the TS (topic starter) the 'thread owner'? I always thought OP referred to the opening post and the TS to the poster. Could be wrong though...
-never mind- already see I was wrong, didn't read the question properly, sorry!

Well none of the previous posts are 100% correct, but pretty close.
OP = Original Poster ... it's mainly used on forums and other messaging boards to label the guy who started the thread. For example "OP is a f**" is an often used expression to express disagreement with the OP by the other members of the community, for various real or not so real reasons, such as repeating topic, stupid topic, or non-suggestive topic titles e.g. "pls help im noob", "why my phone is borken", "stupid question", etc...

I hate the word OP..
Kids use it for overpowered in cod, people use it as "other post", "opening thread" etc..

In gaming world (not just cod), yes it means overpowered, but since we are on a forum, I would think he meant the other meaning. All acronyms have lots of meanings, you have to find the right context.

Post counts isn't the point here also the way I see is that the more posting you have the higher the chances of you making an ass of yourself. In this case which is found to be true. I guess for the members like myself that has been here longer the June 2010 know that there is an EVO General sub forum. I believe in the saying, "It's better for people to think that you are stupid then to open your mouth and confirming it.

If I give you single Posts, it will be more than 10. (There's 16 actually, if you bothered to move your lazy backside and use search. But, I still listed it because it contains your hard work (Use Google and link to C-Skills Blog)
If you actually see the number of threads, it is 4. So, rather than arguing and polluting the Wildfire section with your crap threads (Transparent JPEG, Really? Weather Animation on Unlock using BW - OMG!), actually admit it that this thread of yours is redundant.
I'll agree with that one member said about you somewhere. Reading your posts make me feel like punching through my monitor.

If you knew those apps, why don't you tell us and still keep quiet around? Other ppl posted many times asking how to get those animation.
And you should blame xda app has bad search feature and not me.

Those are discoveries? Now, if you read the app description, it is very well listed over there what they do,. If I go around making a thread for every app I install or "discover" a new feature, I'll have to list probably 1,00,000+ threads here to do that.
Anyway, Thank God for the Ignore List feature. I am out of this thread and your posts from now. So, Post ahead as much as you want, and, I wont be bothering you anymore. Win-Win!

Anyway, if one question is asked hundred times, do you expect the answer to change?
Anyway, I have had enough of this thread. This is my last post in here.
And I beleve that it is better for all of us to leave this toppic. There is a more constructive discussion about gingerbreak eslwere. I'm sure you will find it
So, does it work or not?
And if it doesn't, shall we start a petition ?
If we get enough people to sign it, it might eventually work.

When someone answers a question that has already been answered a billion times, I call them patient, not 'smart'. What do you call the people who keep asking the same questions then? Why would anyone with half a brain join XDA to prove that they're smart? This is why talented devs like Jacob are leaving this forum.
I'm amazed at the number of utter morons that populate the Wildfire section. AND they have the audacity to diss the people who do have some sense. Can't wait to get out of here.
Oh and @melvin - I think YOU'RE the one who's trying to be smart here. Almost everyone (including you) who is active on this forum knows that temp root has been available for AGES.
hello android geeks, rooted my htc wildfire today itself. with hboot 1.01.001 and built in 2.2.1. full functional root possible and i am using it.

how did you do it????

Surely the google+ threads are more important than this useless thread. Report the threads and mods will take care of them if they consider them inappropriate. Starting up a new useless thread ain't much help
We make an effort to condense them down to one main thread in off topic.
That said, we can't be everywhere at once, send the relevant forum moderator a PM and they will deal with the situation accordingly.
Theres also the case that people may be wishing to create a specific circle for owners of a certain device, this would be difficult if every thread was merged.

Well its definitely not the case in most of them, however I have left a couple in sections I moderate due to the fact that they were started with that intention.
Should they turn into an endless invite whoring add4add fest then they will close.

The only "tricks" I know of are by trying to get invited by someone posting something to you, and there's a script in the off-topic forum that retries your invitation URL every 5 seconds. I left that going for over 24hrs and it didn't get in.
I've pretty much given up now. I'll definitely be all over it when I do get in, but I'm not putting my life on hold and waiting for it.

I think some of the issues are that G+ comes up while talking on the forum. Then other are desperate to get an invite. I am guilty of posting in a few of them. But your right. Unless the thread is to create a circle it should be in off topic.

No, he's not a hater, he's telling you to follow the rules. Three threads is just obnoxious.
And considering that you didn't give information about what rom you're running, we don't know what themes are compatible. People don't answer if you don't give enough information. If you're running Sense, try the Evo Themes and Apps section. If you're on AOSP, there's a ton in the Android Themes section. You have to pick something that is compatible with your rom.

1) If you were really trying to "get good themes", you should've looked for them yourself. That's why there are sections filled with them.
2) Being "new to this" is not an excuse. There are plenty of people "new to this" that are perfectly capable of finding their own information and following the rules.
3) I have no issues with "noobs", and I don't mind answering questions for people who are just getting started with a rooted Evo.
My issues lie with those that feel they're entitled and everything should be handed to them, or that the rules don't apply to them.
4) They aren't my rules, they're the forum rules. You should've read them when you became a member. Here's a few that you need to keep in mind:
Rule #1: Search before posting.
Rule #3: Post only using a clear subject and message.
Rule #5: Post a message only once.
5) I'll try really hard to remember to not read your posts, as I know that they'll most likely be a request for someone else to search for you. Unfortunately I try to help people out while I'm browsing the forums, so I'm sure I'll come across your posts again. When you have a legitimate question because you couldn't be bothered to read about what you were doing, I'll be happy to keep the answer to myself.
6) Being more specific is a great idea. People can't help you if you don't give them information. And thanks for the compliment, I like to think that I'm smart and it's nice to hear it from someone else. My self-esteem thanks you.

From an Old X8 user (since 2011)

I bought my x8 in 2011 november... and been a member of this forum since... i saw so many things on this forum... how everything began... how everything evolved and how everything eventually ended..... i miss those days when i used to get excited about a new rom, a new kernel and even with news that so much was possible with such a small device. my respect to the developers... and my homage to my sony ericsson xperia x8... thank you
so...what is purpose of this thread...are you leaving?
i dont get it
What is this!!, u just make a thread that are nonsense, why u post this, and what is it mean??if u're leaving, there's a thread for that!!
i guess that the user is a little emotional thats all..
i think that there is no need to make a fuss about it..
we have a thread about X8 falling into legacy and the slow dev (your post should be in that thread) and also a thread for people who leave this forum so there was no point of starting this thread
