This has nothing to do with learning Final Fantasy XI. It has nothing to do with Playing Final Fantasy XI. It has to do with Final Fantasy XI .dat Modding.
It has nothing to do with learning how to do .dat mods. It has nothing to do with learning how to reskin. This has to do with laziness.
This post will not be stickied... BECAUSE of the fact that noone reads stickies, especially the "Read First" stickies. This post will remain at the top of the normal .mod section because thus far it has served to thwart the 10-12 posts per week that all started along the lines of "Help me open Model viewer" and "What's a model".
It is here to kindly remind people new to modding that their question has been answered more times than the cost of SH+1. All they have to do is actually look through the old posts and find out how to do stuff themselves.
I am not being rude about it, but reduntancy is counterproductive. Likewise, speaking of counterproductivity, I've already noted my feelings about this elsewhere in this post... Like in the very first thread.

Seeing as how it's been working despite what everyone thought from the beginning, I'll prolly keep bumping it. The pole was more of a joke at the beginning of this thread, than an idea of how long this post would last.
By my last count, since this thread was started, we've had about 2-3 "Lazy" posts from people. That's one a week, versus the 5 or 6 a week that used to be posted.

8 of the 50+ posts here are just you "bumping" your own topic. As this trend continues, the page count of this thread will lengthen and the original post, which was done weeks ago and was 1/1 will be drowned out by idle chat and banter so that when people finally do click on this link they will be at page-lord-knows-what. Joke or not, the poll shows what people think, 3/4 of those people say that this is a waste of time. You bumping your own topic doesnt change that.
Double Post Edited:
And where are you getting your numbers from? rhysdavies just posted two threads in the course of hours reguardless of stickes, search function, or this useful thread.

Reason: Automerged Doublepost
My posts on this thread all stay IN the thread, B.A. They aren't scattered all over the forums. The very first post on this thread is what's important, not the rest of it, or the "bumping" to the top. I bump it to keep it within view of people searching the forums for help.
The poll, from what I've seen hasn't been updated in forever. Noone has mentioned it being a waste of time, besides you. It doesn't take time away from anyone else on here. There isn't even an option on the poll about it being a waste of time. It was simple joke at the beginning of this asking if the people who actually posted on here "frequently" thought it would work. And it has. Maybe if you had actually posted more than 5 or so times in the .dat section, you could challenge my "numbers".
I'm not going to get any further into your little flamer-war. But, facts don't lie. This thread has either worked, or the number of new modders joining the forums has dropped considerably. Which also can't be the case, becasue I'm seeing new, great stuff all the time.
As far as Rhysdavies post, I believe it was answered appropriately, and it was taken into consideration of my numbers game...
Also, thank you for your help in bumping it to the top^^

Exactly, other posters, moderators etc used their time to answer the questions that a "Beginner" posted. Rhysdavies did not come here, to this thread, and then divert his attention to the wealth of knowledge that already exists.
By the way, I have done nothing to help "bump" your thread as you seem to do so quite well all by yourself. ^^
I have to agree with Battle Angel. While this does seem like it may be a good idea, the fact is it's pointless to keep bumping this because it won't make a difference. I for one don't care if you want to keep bumping it but if you believe it will work then more power to you.
You kill one man, your a murderer Kill many and your a conquerer Kill them all... your a God.
