I dislike not being able to even look at Marketplace posts. I have had several perfect transactions on this site. At the very least I like to look at prices from these forums to see what good deals are at other sites.

I dislike the numerous pointless posts. "The iPhone only has one speaker!?!?!?" one is a good example. Nothing that some good old common sense can't cure.

then why exactly are you here? :confused::rolleyes:

i can't say that there is much to dislike about this place, but the whining can get to be a bit much. seriously.

I hate whinging, all they ever do is whinge, whinge whinge whinge. It really annoys me when people come on here with the express purpose of whinging about the minutæ of the products. I mean, who would want to just come here to whinge?

Whingers make me sick.

This isn't really something I hate about Macrumors, but on more than one occasion I have seen people say 'wa-la' when they mean 'voilà'

Also people give all sorts of statistics that really have no statistical back up: 1 in five people use X app, 89% of Mac users drink X soda, studies show..., et cetera.

i have my bookmark to this forum as the get new posts so it lists just the new posts. the problem i have is on all the other vB im on have a preview when you hover over the title of the thread it gives you the first few lines of the first post.

it helps a TON with posts that people title "I NEED HELP" or other stupid and uninformative thread titles that i see all the time.

I don't like the huge margin on the top, or the useless search forums field when you have it again in the menu bar.

Also, I don't like people getting overly excited or speculative on things that really shouldnt matter.

Another thing, I dislike people who tell others that windows can't support anymore than 3GB of ram when it can and at that, use all the Ram available.

Penultimately, I don't care what kind of set ups you have, or how many things branded by apple that you possess. Fortunately, you can turn off signatures and those horrible avatars in your user CP. As a result I don't get bothered by the black apple sign.

Lastly, I think everyone should type like my mate,

just a giggles®...here /me is...:O))) *runs just a round® the forum giving 'hugggs' to alll those who just a remember® /me...:O)

just a quick® ta for the ol' emale there arc...:O) sooo sorry for takin' soooooo long to just a reply® 'cept real life has been keeping /me pretty busy the past few weeks/months/year...:O(...

n' just a reminder®.../me stillllll isnt programmed to just a think® hehehe

Deleting your comments without notice is ridiculously lame. A simple blank edit with a reason in the reason field should be enough.

All the questions about "Why does only one speaker work on my iPhone?"

Seriously what are we up to? 3 a day?

1. The people who jump on the fault bandwagon...

eg. A minor fault is said about maybe 3 times on here in different threads, somebody on engadget/macworld etc writes and article on this, suddenly, EVERYONE has that fault...

2. The very very over the top apple fanboys, I've encountered 2 on here so far, and that was enough...

3. Thread duplications, I swear there's been more of them recently, or maybe I'm now paying attention and reporting them more... :rolleyes:

I'll admit 3 can be said about any forum these days...

pompous a**holes...i.e. when someone asks a question that is responded with a sarcastic, superority-complexed remark posted by someone who was probably picked last in dodgeball in gradeschool.

Sorry that some people don't know everything there is to know...if that weren't the case, there would be no reason for forums, correct?

yeah..
