Yeah, everyone knows LG is going through changes and that's all fine and dandy, but all of the problems I mentioned do apply to Lg in its current state. Reputation doesn't play a part and you know this because you pay attention to the UG? That'd be wonderfully contradictory to my point if not for the fact that UG has a rep, post, and contribution requirement. The staff do help outside of the UG, I'm sure, from time to time, those who display interest in learning. What about my other points about how newbies come for "leet hax" and then spend their time trying to get into UG with mediocre qualities and add to the general crap of the forum? These users need to be steered in the direction of wanting to learn rather than frowned upon in the first place. You need to check out my post without bias because your urge to defend LG is causing you to miss key points in my post.
As for your last sentence, "you can get through if you're persistent," do you even look around LG? Take a look at some of the recent source releases in the programs section- wait, you probably have no idea what I mean so I'll explain. The majority of source code in the programs section are extremely mediocre. This, as I've said, is not the fault of the newbie programmer trying to share, but the fault of more skilled members not bothering to contribute. There are several examples of this throughout. You are rushing to defend this site without actually considering what I've said. Congratulations.
