Jeesus H christ.. are we still getting people in this day and age that dont know how to f*cking google 1 word, i mean COME ON how hard is it really to to use google. you just type what you wanna look for and up it comes, in this case if you type " RAR " into google the very first result will answer everything you need to know.
And heres the proof.... http://tinyurl.com/dgtplf

Really how hard was that?? even a blind dyslexic monkey could have worked out that one....
ALSO.. did you even bother to read ANYTHING on this forum. look up right now.. You see that writing at the top that says ......

* Before posting in this section please make sure your question has not already been answered:
o Read the FAQs and stickied topics. In particular: /******READ THIS POST BEFORE POSTING IN THIS SECTION!******\
o Visit the Wiki: http://fretsonfire.wikidot.com/
o Please try to search the forums before posting

If you had looked in the " READ THIS BEFORE POSTING" section it tells you about rar files in there too. so not only are you a retard who cant figure out how to google for the word RAR, but you also cant follow a set of VERY simple rules..... Why am i even bothering, your gonna be one of those kids that just rapes the forum for everything you can, untill you get stuck, then ask a question that has been answered and documented about 200 times before, just coz your too stupid to look for yourself.

Jesus **** christ, do we still have posters on this forum who would much rather the site be a wiki, where no-one asks or receives help, instead of actually helping people find the one word search result?

Seriously, man, a fraction of the time it took for you to complain about a repeat post, that had already been solved, you could have helped the guy out a little more with a link or something, instead of going on some completely irrelevant rant.

Yes, people post questions repetitively, yes it can be frustrating. But, you know what? This is a forum; if everything would cease to be posted more than once, we would not function very well would we? Why not bite the bullet, post that same result again, and feel damn good about yourself for helping someone out, instead of tearing them a new **** by demeaning them?

In any case, fresh links, from the Google oven.

ermm i did help him with a link. so did the guy previous to me. in fact i gave him google results and even told him the top result would anwser all of his problems.
And no we dont need it to be like a wiki, but we also dont need the whole forum filled with the same question over and over and over and over. like we currently have.. the two questions we allways get asked ( even after 2 years of explaining the problem ) are "how do i add songs i cant open rar files " and " why cant i press more than 2 keys at once "
why do you think the mods have had to resort to firstly creating a thread called " READ THIS BEFORE POSTING " then secondly having to actually make it appear at the top of every screen in tech support, oh yeah thats right, coz people are lazy b*stards and cant be bothered ( or are to stupid ) to look for things themselves.
You seem to be forgetting what the guy actually did... he was breaking at least 1 rule on the forum possible 2. posting somehting that has allready been posted ( in this case about 200 times ) and also not searching for something before posting. ESP when they are given so many chances to do just that.

The mods should implement a system where if a user with less than some threshold number of posts tries to post in Tech Support, it redirects to a page asking them if they read from a list of selected threads first. If they select that they had, it could redirect back to the posting page. If they then posted such a question, they'd deserve to be ridiculed for not paying attention.

Here is a program that's better and free and reads a great deal more formats.

Don't link to executable files, it is bad netiquette. Here's the official website:

He meant that the rant was irrelevant. There are always going to be posts about this, so you're fighting a losing battle. Just post (Or ignore) and move on.
