Do you REALLY know how to use BBHF ?!?

[Lumos]

This kind of stuff happens endlessly here !!
It is NOT limited to just newbies either - members who have been here for YEARS do this same ridiculous stuff.

Example...
Here is a truly superb VIP share that was posted more than a year ago and is now quite dead until/unless it gets a re-upload:
http://bestblackhatforum.com/Thread-GET-...all-addons
(Huge kudos to Sachin for this valuable offer too !!)

Here's the kicker:
If anyone looked at his forum stats, they'd see right away that his most recent visit was on 10-08-2020
This is not a big deal as he'll surely be back soon - but:

How will anyone know UNLESS they take a quick look there ?!?

Also - folks reply to really ancient threads that have long since gone 100% dead, thereby top-listing them when their OPs are usually long gone.

Re-in-TAR-nating dead threads is a DISSERVICE to ALL OTHER MEMBERS !!

And silliest of all:
Do you take note of view counts here...EVER ?!?

Here's a clue=>
When some thread that is a year or more old has gotten THOUSANDS of views - sometimes like 10 THOUSAND or even more views - you may be wasting your time and efforts with whatever is in it.

Not always.

But it IS worthy of notice.

We can spend whole days and nights fishing around here for shiny objects to grab and fill up drive space without EVER earning a dime, OR:

We can try to do better for ourselves and execise some brainpower in selecting what we may actually be able to make use of.

Suggestion:
Choose Wisely.

While we're on this subject, I would like to remind people something they do that really irritates many members. That is when they request a re-up many members simply type in the title of the item. Why not make it easier for the person and give them the actual link instead forcing them to do a search for it?

Also, while I'm on my high horse, I might as well bring up something else. If you want a new link for an item, send the OP a PM, do you really thing that an OP is going to constantly look at all his shares to see if someone has requested a re-up?

OK, I will now get off my high horse, hope I don't fall and break something!:)

I personally believe that bbhf have to be migrated to a new forum platform, offering more forum plugins, easier to use, mobile friendly and last but not least - more secure.

Unfortunately couldn't access the post which sachin posted.

Baffling indeed:

Quote:Unfortunately couldn't access the post which sachin posted.

Sachin ?? Where ??
As CLEARLY stated in the OP, he last came to BBHF 10-08-2020 !!

Additionally, that share is in VIP, and as such not useful for non-VIP members.

And finally, the OP there is over a year old and has ZERO live links.
