A questions section is useless imo as 99.99999999% of minecraft questions can be answered with google easily.
I think that's absurd. Without a few good forums, Google wouldn't have any search results to index :rolleyes:.
Besides, I really don't consider a search engine to be a proper replacement for Q&A on a forum. Here in a forum, we can explain it in detail and clarify if things are still fuzzy. Besides, it also makes good conversation :smile.gif:. It's more social than a search engine.

When all is said and done, Will you have said more than you have done?
You build a 2x3 frame out of Obsidian, and light the inside on fire. Enter the resulting portal to enter the Nether, where space is compressed 8x and giant ghost things spit giant fireballs at you.
If i didn't know thats actually what the nether is, I would have thought you were joking.
pretty sure the point of forums is to ask questions, don't be douche bags, kids.
Sure, you should be able to ask questions on the forums, but the point of having a record of those questions is so that people who show up later can search for the answers to those questions without having to post a new topic.
Learning about the nether is easy with the forum search tool here, and even easier using google. There's absolutely no reason to have a new topic about it here.
Wanting to have clean, readable forums is not douchebaggery. Imo catering to discourteous forum users by answering their already-answered questions is far worse than politely directing them to the search function and flagging the topic to be deleted.

Right, and how often are posters 'politely directed' to the search function?
There is no way that answering a new players question is anywhere near 'far worse'.
Okay, I got what the Nether was by the first page, but I'm sorry to have made spam...
Being a newbie in all of this, I don't really know how it works around here.
You didn't spam. Don't apologize, and next time you have a question come here and ask it. People will answer, you just have to ignore the jerks who think the only topics that should exist on this forum are... what actually? Topics complaining about spam and "Version X.X Rumors"? I can't think of anything that you couldn't answer with Google at this point.
Yes, this is spam, the is a little thing called Google, and the forum search function and the wiki that people can look at but instead they fill the forums with useless threads because they don't know how to search.
In 99% of forums this would be considered spam if the OP has made no attempt to search before asking questions, which he clearly has
So in other words all your posts are spam.
Also just as a quick FYI forum search results for nether shows only mod threads.
This is what forums are for, asking questions and helping people, you were a new player once, like I was, some people just don't know what everyone else knows.

There is no harm in aking. I dont consider this spam just a new player who might be going into the forums looking for anwsers. While yes google could have solved this he/she might want a more detailed anwser from other players
Coming to this thread, I had expected a bunch of witty answers like "the Nether is really close up look at the inside of your nose." I am disappointed.
I have the laughs at all you fools! I know this guy in RL for real I'm not lying he has been playin mine craft for a really long time and made this username to troll alot of people. You'all done been trolled.
I got Minecraft this afternoon and before I played I decided to check out all the hulabaloo around here.
As I was looking around in the texture pack board, (I'm not sure, but do they change how the game looks?)
I spotted a picture of this weird, lava cave showcasing how it looks in the texture pack, I guess. I have read a lot
of beginner tutorials and even seen a couple of videos on the stuff, but none of them explain the Nether.
So, my point being is, what is the Nether, and how do I get there?
EDIT: I realized by the first page what the Nether is and how I get there, and I realized this is spam, so please don't reply about how to actually get to the Nether and what it is or how it is spam.
ok, but welcome to minecraft. One of the full-release buyers. Most people bought during beta or alpha

IMO, you are wrong.

Once again, sorry.
Wow you call him stupid yet you fail to read the first sentence he said he got it this afternoon.

I used to write original signatures, then I took an arrow to the knee.
Does anybody read freaking post dates anymore?
