Guidance for Noobs: UTFSE 2

Dear new people,
Use The Fucking Search Engine.

I'm not saying this for any reason. There was no recent thread wherein some new person asked a redundant question (i'm sure such a thread exists, as this is the internet, but i can assure you it was not the inspiration for this thread). I've been around here for a while. Tyipcally, i'll just create a quick pub thread when I have a general question that I know someone could answer in 15 seconds. Why not crowdsource? Well, tonight I decided to UTFSE. Sure enough, within a minute, I had found the exact answer I was looking for: how to best utilize AVB.
This also goes as a friendly reminder to our older heads who may have - like myself - fallen into the bad habit of crowdsourcing for insta-satisfaction. The shroomery already has all the answers to your questions.
In conclusion: i saved the pub a useless thread, and made a useless thread to tell you about it

How did you save making a useless thread by making one?

"In the days of kings and queens I was a jester." "And then the great lord created bears... too many bears... shoulda really dialed back on the bears."

I think this thread has the potential to stop many useless threads from being created, not just one.

I think that this thread should be sticked in all the forums aside from The Pub. The reason I believe this, is because The Pub is like a cultural discussion thing involving different Shroomerites in different contexts through different time periods. The same conversation in the pub can happen in 2008 and 2013 and be drastically different based on the state of the world at the time and the different people participating in the discussions.

Everyone should use google before starting a thread on any website asking a question.
Google is an all knowing, all seeing (thanks to the NSA) god.
Google that shit

Yes there seems to be many new comers returning to the shroomery. or atleast coming back here. Its good that you have reminded them to take more initiative before insisting that an overused question be asked. I'm just returning from London where I got done introducing dance lessons to one of my students. It was a short session, only lasting around an hour at most. I then went home & buried my head in my studies til sleep came over me. My wife rolled over & whispered something into my head, but she was half asleep so I didn't know if she knew what she was talking about or not.
Its important that we introduce the new people to the search feature employed at the top of the page. We can direct our eyes to the search bar to project an image of the words to be typed there before actually typing them. I usually will insist that the new people sit near me so I can show them around, I'm usually a guide around these parts. They call me Bill, I like to indicate new directions to guide people in future matters. They say I'm the guy you call when you're needing someone to have your back & cherish you for simply being alive. Well I suppose I just like to think of everyone as something precious can't you see? I must go, I have a flight to catch in 10 minutes and may be late. I have to go to Brooklyn to arrange for a funeral for my friends grandma. She's rather ill & unfortunately we are uncertain if she'll make it through the night.

Eh,
Personally I say "let the newbies ask questions!" I like informing people about things I know and learning from experts who answer other questions I'm clueless about.

No, it's because I have it set in the shroomery settings to hide my referrer and use a proxy...
the first part works, but when it goes to actually search I get that.
