[QUOTE="f0rmula, post: 123876, member: 18112"] If you contribute a little, and help out on a the forum a little I'm sure you'll find the community a lot more receiving of your opinions. A first post in a condescending tone, so full of criticism, is never going to be well received. Rather than saying how you can't see the point in what the developers are doing, try just starting a thread about media extenders. See what other people think, suggest some the developers might like to look at, and maybe do a little research for them. Perhaps see if there are some frequently used APIs MediaPortal could support etc. By posting such a lengthy non-combative reply, it's obvious that you have good intentions. However, it doesn't matter if you say you don't mean to offend only to then continue to say things in an manner which is likely to upset people. Instead of telling people how crazy you think they are for doing what they're doing, move towards constructive comments and try to contribute where you can. I'm also a self confessed nerd, so I'm not really used to giving advice on politics, psychology and general forum etiquette. :) James [/QUOTE]
