Oh yes I can!
See, they will always be posting their brand of wisdom whenever presented any sort of opportunity. Always. And I'm simply not being paid enough to try to be the "Voice of Reason" here.
On these boards we have been denied any sort of group control to ostracize the undesirables, by design apparently. We are only granted individual tools, and the individual must therefore fend for themselves.
The only way you can realy "help" is by giving accurate information in response to valid questions, and let the recipient themselves decide which posters have value and which do not. Getting involved in a never-ending shouting match helps absolutely nobody, and ultimately makes you yourself a part of the general problem.
The upshot is that half the posts in this thread are blocked thanks to my ever-growing Ignore List, and when I see a post blocked, I know with confidence that nothing of value has been lost.
Let the reps and the mods deal with this. They're the ones that are actually being paid to put up with it to begin with.
Possibly the most important link that will ever be posted on these forums http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYLsyNBnE5M

Seems like you have a hard time letting go.
The first step, is acceptance. Perhaps when you do that, we can move on with the other steps.
Korg in direct relation to the original topic of this post what have you contributed thus far?
Pretty sure most of the information you get are from people that post on BG as well. Just because YOU PERSONALLY have a problem with a place, doesn't make their information any less right.
Yes Elitist can be "annoying" but they are usually the ones that take the time to test and math things out that most of the player base is to lazy or unwilling to do.
Only problem I personally have with the place is it's moderation.
A problem that I have with people referencing that place as the end/all solution of all information from FFXI is that most of that information is public knowledge, and the only things that BG has contributed to the game is understanding of certain aspects of the game by way of mathematical know-how. But even then, some of the posts with "mathy parts" can be incorrect and some are using dated information. But you cannot say that the website is even close to be informational when most of the posters there are so stuck up each other's rumps that they cannot think for themselves and accept whatever certain posters type as gospel.
I have never said that BG doesn't contribute, but don't take people's word for it only by sourcing them without verifying the source (which is what Gokku did at first).
