Looking for a story

Here's a joke: A guy walks into a bar look for help in finding a story, but instead, two assholes make fun of him. The end.
 
He gets rejected into the family circle and runs away

Jokes aside, I'm not going to try to search for that. What would I search on? "family"? There are a quarter million stories with that keyword. If you spend one second examining each story, a mere 66.2 hours later you would know if your story is in that query (well, a random search's expected duration is half the search space... So, a mere 33 hours, on average).

And if I looked, I would have no idea if I found it.

I think you will need to supply a LOT more details to get answers other than jokes.

Then there's no reason to answer the post.

This is a forum specifically for people looking for help. It's not for tongue-n-cheek conversation. That's more of an AH thing.

Imagine if someone decides it would be fun to answer every post with a joke? How long before this forum loses its purpose and every topic gets hijacked by people wanting to poke fun at people's frustrations or just at the poster themselves for not being able to articulate their query like a paid technical writer?

If you can't be helpful in a forum specifically meant for giving and receiving help, why post in it at all?
 
It's an unfortunate truth that you have to bring foolish behavior to the attention of the fools behaving foolishly.

You're welcome, everyone.
Except we’ve literally been doing this for as long as I’ve been here helping to find stories. Sometimes you don’t have a useful answer, but you do have a good joke, and this is especially true when there’s not a lot to go on. Seriously, we’re not looking for the cure for cancer here. A little levity is fine.

You're suffering from that "it's okay because I did it" mentality.

Just wanted to clock the "relevance score" so far in this thread:

Atam: 1 search
Darwin: 1 search
MrHereFarting: 0 searches, but loads of THE MOST ironic hypocrisy ever seen in the Western hemisphere

Of course, there is one way we're ALL helping OP--by keeping this thread at the top of the screen.

Nah, it's my "I'm actually part of the community" mentality. I've been here for years helping people find stuff, with a dozen or so solves under my belt. You came in like the fun police, tutting at everyone without actually knowing anything about the dynamic in here.

Seriously, fuck right off. Or, alternately, go help people find stories in sections you're familiar with. Tons of people looking for Incest stories.

You guys broke this search the moment you started saying it was okay to make jokes.

I would have followed my own advice and never posted in this thread if weren't for calling out the people ruining the thread.

You're a part of the AH mentality, which is fine, but when you bring that mentality over here where people are searching for help you go from community peer to bully.

Be proud of yourself.

It's lucky for you the Mod in this forum is useless.
