There is a proverb that says "Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you'll feed him for life". I think that's quite fitting here.

It's what I always say. I don't mind helping people out when it's a specific problem, or I feel that some guides on the internet aren't actually that easy to understand. I like making a topic and then having people ask me questions (providing that the answer to that question isn't available to them if they just read the content).

It got extremely frustrating pouring my time into providing people with answers to readily available information on the internet.

The question "how do I bind a key in CS:S" would actually take less time to type into Google than it would to make a post about it on here. If they'd have Googled it and then still not understood, or wanted something a bit more specific, then I could have been a bit more sympathetic. I think it's actually an insult to the collective knowledge of millions of people to not use Google for something so simple. That's what frustrates me.

I'll carry on doing my series on autoexec stuff. Gonna expand a little onto what I've said here about binds. I try and make my threads simple enough for people to understand. Honestly, if they are still too complicated (not in a patronising way, I just have a flair for long words), then I can do videos and diagrams to help explain what I mean, I really don't mind. I'd rather people told me if they were too complicated, so that I could change them and make them easier. But all I get is "how do you do this thing" when it's already been stated clearly and fully in a huge post.
