Step 1 - Remind yourself that nothing anyone does on the forum besides the devs and the mods really matters.
Step 2 - When someone decides to create a thread to host their nightly builds of a new ROM for you to enjoy, don't criticize them for opening the thread before the ROM is ready. Doing this makes you an incredible asshole.
Step 3 - You can learn more from the devs and mods other than how to program. For instance, they have a sense of humor. All of you, apparently, do not.
Step 4 - People make mistakes. Jumping on them for doing this puts you under scrutiny. Be ready to have a spotless record...wait! You don't! "Hi pot, I'm kettle! You're black! Dur-ha!" (This is what you sound like, to me.)
Step 5 - Should the previous steps not have solved the problem of you being an uptight waste of carbon, I sometimes recommend the use of illegal narcotics. If nothing else has helped and you're still a complaining asshole, try this:
a) Purchase 1/8th oz high grade marijuana.
b) Take a portion of the marijuana and remove the pointy stems.
c) Roll the marijuana into a Zig Zag brand rolling paper.
d) Ignite the now rolled marijuana cigarette or "joint"*.
e) Inhale the smoke and hold it in a bit.
f) Repeat until the joint burns your fingertip.
h) Play your favorite LP. I Personally recommend anything Beatles, Meat Puppets, Beach Boys, or Built to Spill. Should you have ****ty taste in music, Legend by Bob Marley will probably be in your collection. That'll do for now.
i) Repeat a - h until all traces of knowitall assholism have been cleansed from your system.
The mods and devs are always super cool and give you guys free software ALL THE TIME! How can you get so annoyed by small deviations from forum policy? Relax, idiots. Lay off the n00bs and the devs. Try some politeness or some humor. it would seem that many people here in the know lack both. Shame on you for treating life too seriously. Especially life on the internet.
I realize that I am also here complaining. Feel free to point out what a hypocrite I am. I'll ponder the paradoxical idiocy of my words as I read a book, perform comedy for money, ride my bike so as not to turn into a bloated internet jerk, and make love to a woman.
Anyone interested in seeing first hand how to deal with people with less knowledge than you should sit in on a kindergarten class for a couple days. Take note of how the teacher doesn't berate or ridicule the students for lacking the knowledge that s/he has. It should be a fascinating and largely unknown concept to many of you.

How about people just stop creating new threads so damn often? We don't need a thread created to mention that some dev nobody cares about is beginning to consider working on a stupid port nobody wants. Post it in the ROM Bible thread or blast it out on Twitter to your four followers.

Step one, learn to post in the proper forum. Step 2, brick your phone so you can't post here anymore. Step 3, quit feeding something that you know nothing of.
When someone comes on and says they are creating 2.2 blur and there isn't a 2.2 blur ANYWHERE, think about it. Quit being a moron.

These 2 gentlemen have the right idea.
Development is an "act of improving by expanding or enlarging or refining"
I don't see "asking questions answered dozens of times previously" or "saying oneself is creating a ROM based on source material that doesn't exist"
/thread
Wow. The main point of all of this was to somewhat humorously invoke some kindness in dealing with annoying people. I see that some are amused and some are not. Posting to development was part of the joke.
Obviously, it's not awesome to start a thread in the wrong section but IT'S NOT WORTH BLOWING UP OVER. Also, wishing me harm, banishment, bricked phone, etc is silly. RELAX.

I lol'd pretty damn hard.
thanks i had a good laugh i came here from another forum and it seems everyone is out to hate on each other
naw... no one hates anyone... people are just bored... and in an attempt to get someone to agree with his methodology he made himself look like more of an ass..
i say close the thread, and move on...
I wasn't aware that I've been made to look like an ass!
All this anger over some silly trash talk in an attempt to get people to relax a bit.
To tell the truth, I find most people here pretty helpful. If I were to focus in on myself, I'd say that this was more inflammatory than I'd intended and that I've certainly missed some unwritten rule about not being playful or fun. For all my bluster, I can see how people could have mistaken this for actual condemnation.
I'll make an honest attempt to be more boring, in the future.

When off topic discussions bring out people who would rather have a bit of fun than be buzz killingtons. Wouldnt you all rather be friends than bickering fools? This epic forum is dying.. if more of us came together who knows.. WE the posters and lurkers could pick up in development where they left off.

CHEERS!!!! +1
I am willing to bet that my son is older than most of the idiot wannabe mods causing issues. I was actually in a post yesterday where someone asked a question in Q&A and got slapped for not asking the question in the app/rom thread. This is starting to get very discouraging. To many people running amuck. I actually sent a email this morning suggesting that each section for the forums should have there own "off topic" then maybe some of this BS might stop. I also asked if they like the idea and implement it to move ptfmedic's thread to it and sticky it. I for one don't even go to the main page no need.

Here we have people that we have never seen on here before that are reporting things as being "off topic" or "against the rules" that have been going on for ages and it is just the regulars here sharing with each other. But because we are in a down period as we wait for Gingerbread, and these dummies have nothing else to occupy themselves with, they think it must be all this off topic stuff holding back a new rom or theme coming out. But what they are doing is driving off anyone who has actually ever contributed anything and making certain that by the time Gingerbread drops there won't be anyone left, with the knowledge to contribute something great, who's willing to put up with the shenanigans of these fools.
They are too self involved to realize that the people that make this great software and mods that we use only do it to be a part of this community, and to chat and share and learn from each other. The fact that some random person can come in and benefit from their work is a side effect, not the main intent of their hard work!

I think you may be wrong. If XDA was purely a developer forum, we'd have no reason for separate 'Development' and 'General' areas.
Like it or not, the mallcop wannabes lurking about can't pray to their personal unicorns and wish away the fact that XDA has grown into an ENTHUSIAST community, and general, unorganized discussion is a healthy way to foster friendly, casual relationships between regular visitors.

There is a development section of the Epic forums. Maybe your time would be best spent there and not in the general section.
I completely understand that this is a development forum and we come here to read about android development. At the same time, the people that are contributing to the development section so far have been the people everyone's pissing off and booting/influencing to leave.
If a marine came back from IRAQ and ended up on CNN and said he's just glad to be back because he has a kid with AIDS at home and really needs to take care of him and would like to give everyone a site to check out childwithAIDSawareness. How surprised would you be if the news caster turned and say "whoa, let me stop you right there, these people tuned in to hear about the war, not your sick kid."

That example is a terrible fit for this situation. People posting about things not related to the epic aren't doing anything special for anyone. They are wasting XDA bandwidth and burying actual useful threads.
The best comparison would be if Casey Anthony went on the news to tell her side of the story and spent the entire time trying to advertise her book/movie/insert self indulging greed.

The youknowwho everyone is referring to is you, just to let you know. I will not reply to you again and add you to ignore because I know who you are and don't want to trail any more threads off topic. I can tell that that post is intended to just cause more drama because you are desperate for attention. This post did not contribute to this thread at all (and neither did mine really, but I am replying to another post). If you actually posted something useful that pertains to the thread you are saying it in after searching the internet and getting a knowledge of the subject, I wouldn't rant. The only posts I have seen you post are insulting other users, such as "it is all of the old people" and "marcusant is insulting other users". If you are truly this hypocritical and are truly new even though you seem to reference to events that have happened long before you joined, I would be surprised. I will try to not reply and try to ignore any more posts by AdjectiveAnimal or any other troll that seems to use the exact same phrases. The reasons behind my insulting (it really wasnt insulting), was to show you what you are saying to other users in the forum. I am really confused as to why you would cause this much drama on a PPC development forum. I would be less mad if you actually contributed positively to the community. I hope that you read this post entirely. Please do not respond (I am talking to everybody) as it will bring this thread more off course. I see that you are already banned. I hope that if you do make a new alternate account that you actually attempt to contribute. I'm sorry for any thread jacking or additional drama. Have a nice day.
Now for a real reply. I find it odd that they are able to sue for data throttling that everyone has noticed and known about for a while. It still effects android phones and probably dumbphones with 3g. This is one reason I chose sprint. But I do bet that the throttled speeds are faster than Sprint's 3g on a good day.

I doubt he'd come back after the way he was canned. He's moved on to greener pastures.
Are you flipping kidding me???????
Unreal.... :/

Talking to Ropodope right now on Gtalk! This is what he says to everyone..
"Thank everyone who has ever thanked me, said a good word about me, and the untold pm's from those who have appreciated my no nonsense approach. They have all made me a better person and if not for them having a need, I would have never been in a position to fill it. Good luck, God bless them all and may their Evo's continue to rock!......Ropodope!
Lets get him back on XDA!
He may or may not have been racist. But, there are countless examples of him being short tempered and mean spirited. He was bad for this community's growth. Please, somebody, close this thread.

Really! okay
^ Yes. Go read through the Virus InfectedROM thread. He was even a jerk to dev because he didn't put out free releases fast enough, when Virus didn't even own a 4G. Virus eventually left.
If being harsh was grounds for a banning, I'd have been banned a LONG time ago.....

You are a sad excuse for a human being unkind sir. There is not a racist bone in Ropodope's body and you are a perfect example of the kind of people he was talking about. It is obvious to anyone with a brain to think which may be in short supply these days based on your post. Sad sad people I say. You know I never saw you make one post to him while he was on xda. Let's make a deal, you leave and bring Ropodope back. I would make that deal any time.
bringingit
I never said he was racist, I said he was short tempered, and scared away new members to the community. I didn't like his style and I think the mods made a good decision. I never had a discussion with him because he never posted anything that couldn't be found by reading myself.
Edit: I have no idea why I keep posting in this thread. I will honor your guys' wishes. I am done posting in here.

Dude that was SOOOO long ago. Ropo from the looks of it changed a long time ago. That was WAAy in the past. Let it go.
Wow! The show of support for Ropodope in the EVO forums is overwhelming, & a nice change from the norm on these forums. I know Ropodope personally, we've met a few times for coffee & lunch. He is not a racist, & was wrongly accused and setup by two members that are on lifetime bans from this site for various reasons including racial comments & stealing other peoples work, not to mention stealing personal information to facilitate electronic wire fraud by hacking their donors' Paypal accounts with the purpose of stealing money.
My view of this whole situation of what led to Ropodope getting a lifetime ban is this: if the two low lifes (who are permanently banned from this site) had not circumvented the system by hiding behind VPN's in order to gain access to the site to facilitate engaging rope in a trolling fashion this never would have happened. Bottom line: if they hadn't been on the site rope would not have been banned, period.
Therefore I believe his ban should be lifted & his account restored to it's prior state.
Ropodope has an undying willingness to help people with their rooted EVOs, at times people that are either incapable of following simple instructions, or unwilling to actually do any research for themselves grate on his last nerve. And rightfully so, his knowledge of the EVO & Android in general come from months of research, and trial & error while trying different mods on his phone. Between the two of us there isn't a mod or tweak that we haven't tried on the EVO, trust me we've tried everything at least once at one time or another since rooting our phones.
So does rope come off as an ass sometimes? Sure, we all do. But he is more than willing to help anyone who will take the time to follow instructions and hopefully learn something along the way.
The last thing rope would ever be is a racist, opinionated yes, racist never.

And that is all Ropodope ever asked anyone to do, read & find the answer themselves just like he did.
Key words: "I didn't like his style" That is your opinion & you're entitled to it, but check his thanks meter & post count they tell an entirely different story, many people even PM'd him with thanks and/or apologized to him for making an ass of themselves in the development threads.
