Well, it takes longer to post a question and wait for an answer than it does to google it im afriad, unless you love waiting for answers. That's just personal preference.

If it's something that you can get a clear answer on then you can just go to google since your thread will continue to exist while your quesion could be answered by like the first person that replies.

If you want a discussion then make a thread. As far as the paranoia thing, um why do you not want to use google? I'm not understanding you.

If you want to obtain my answer then I suggest you google it. [spoiler] took me ages to come up with that witty remark. I'm sure no one else thought of saying it. [/spoiler]

The problem is a lot of the kids on here don't seem to be able to find anything out themselves. This forum is not Yahoo Answers. It's a discussion forum.

Sometimes people ask genuinely stupid questions that can be answered if they just googled the sameexact words thatthey post. So yeah, some of them kinda deserves it.

No, actually it's in good taste to ask someone a question only if you can't find it or if you want someone's personal input on whatever you're asking. Many times if you search for something (doesn't have to be Google) first, you save yourself personal embarrassment and prevent from annoying others. These boards aren't really Q&A anyway; they're discussion.

It depends on the subject matter I suppose, it's really annoying when somebody takes the time to create a post with a question that's so easily answered by just going to Google.

i hate to break it to you, but try googling the following:

"dont you hate when some d*ck tells you to go to google when you ask a question in the forums, i mean if i wanted to go to google i would. i know what google is beleive it or not but i think the less google knows about me the better. yes, im paranoid..so what?"

I'd Google it first, but if someone posts a question, I'll Google it, answer as best I can, then tell them to use Google. :P

I don't ask questions I can find out the answer to by a search engine. And I'm not doing anyone's work for them. I actually dislike when people use the forums instead.

When you have a question about something, then you really should use a search engine. The reason behind this is because you will actually have Sources for your answer, and you can tell if the sources are legit, biased, unbiased.... its generally better quality information. If you want OPINIONS on the subject then you should state that you are looking for opinions about said topic, and include a link you found about the subject, just in case someone may not know. Then a discussion could be had about it.

If the question has an answer that is easily found by googling then it's not really worthy of a thread.

If I google before I ask, then yeah, I do get pissed. The reason why people reference Google so much is because usually you can resolve an issue simply by typing it in Google.

If you're that paranoid about Google, maybe you should read this..

Not really, never happens to me... =\

I do tell people to look things up (at ___ place) when it's something that's been answered 5000000 times in the past or that can easily be found just by simply searching though.
