Well, following lukybandit's example in the Excalibur forum (so check that for more info), I've decided to start a similar thread here. To save space, here is the original, where the idea came from:
lukybandit said:
Hello Guys,
I notice newbies or sometimes, even regulars asking stupid questions. To save space on XDA, here are some examples that you should steer away from. Take this seriously and it's all in good fun. Before I show you some examples, this is to show that some questions are either already answered in the forum, or use your common sense or finally, if you have no common sense - READ the forum. Everyone was once a newbie but how did we all get here? We searched, read and maybe asked a question here and there, but valid questions. So use the "Search" button, find yourself a topic and seek knowledge. We're all here to help but don't flood the forum with stupid questions. This is to teach all newbies to avoid these kind of questions and cut the regulars some slack. From nowonwards, whatever DUMB thread I find, I will trash it and post the link here.
Example #1:
Can I Put The App(Fruity Loops) On My Dash?

Give me a Break. How do you expect to convert a 5 GIG .exe (Windows Install) file to a .cab? It's a phone. Damn it - Yes, this phone can DO a lot of things but don't expect to scratch your records on a phone. Who the hell is mixing a song on their phone? No Professional !!! haha What has the world come to? You see someone mixing a song on the bus, head bangin' - pissed off cause he isn't getting the beat right cause his **** ain't tight - well no, DUH you mixing on a PHONE lol

It's staring right in your face, dude. It's made for PPC, not Smartphone. lol Cmon man, do some research or better yet, READ the title. Stop creating threads for STUPID questions. Period.
____________________________________________
This is Just for Laughs. So Enjoy but at the same time, USE this as a lesson to not create stupid threads. Read, Seek Knowledge and Apply Knowledge.
Lesson of the day: Save yourself from getting banned and from rude comments.
Best Regards,
lukybandit
P.S: Anyone that comes across threads, post the link and post a valid comment because I want to keep this active so ALL newbies can learn to not to land in the graveyard, that is STUPID.

Calendar 'dialogs'?
You know you can enable those white "bubble windows" that pop up on receipt of new SMS messages etc. I'm *sure* years and years ago when I first used Window Mobile that calendar reminders popped up in similar bubbles.
How do I enable them? At the moment all I get is my alarm goes off, which just leaves an alarm icon in the top menu bar for me to click on, but I want the brief details to appear in a bubble - is there a reg setting for this?

Doesnt the Diamond have an LED?
Hello!
I bought my Diamond yesterday *yay*...
I wonder, that small transparent piece of plastic built into to the earpiece. Is that an LED?
If yes, mine doesn' t blink or anything. Should it? And if yes, when?
I had an HTC Wizard before which blinked green when I had signal and orange when charging or a message received.

FM radio sucks! Anyone has this problem as well?
Practically useless radio. Even out in the open, the reception is basically like "shortwave radio". Even with the strongest of channels, I can barely enjoy anything.
Does anyone here has this issue too??

he was trying to use the FM radio without headphones-antenna! no antenna, no reception. who sucks? the user or the FM?

..i wish our htc's would have such a software!!!
Every battarie will be loaded in the same way; there is no software which controls the voltage based on the battarie!!
I posted my share of stupidity. I believe we all did.
But I agree it comes to a point where its to much!
What about banning the word fagphone?? (iPhone) thats were my support is!
I was scheptical so i reserved myself to the idea that we should really make a harmless joke app that shows you the batt is charging. Then see how many people download it.
Also could you guys tell me how to modify the registry so my phone heats up more because want to put it in my cofee every morning.
is it possible to install xp (sp2 or sp3) on htc diamond??
storage(4gb) is enough for install xp so maybe it is posiblle?
probably i will need some other boot loader??

No, it only supports Windows 3.11 for Workgroups for now...

Ok guys, so I'm still a noob and I don't know if this idea has already been processed but I got an idea for an app that acts as an 8 Ball. It will display the face of an 8 Ball on the screen and as you shake it a new answer/message will display. My thought was that you could create your own answers/messages as well, that way instead of the normal "Yes, No, Maybe, Ask Again Later, Etc.", you could customize it into what you want it to say. Thought it sounded kind of neat and thought I would throw it out there to see if anyone else agrees. If anyone has seen this out there already then please fill me in. Otherwise, give me your thoughts and we'll see about making this happen.
yes, i would like one like this, i second your thought
I figured it would be a neat idea, to be able to change the answers, maybe even change the skin on it, different colors, and all that fun stuff. I would really like to get a lot of feedback before I see about creating it. I would need some help doing so however, I haven't created my own app before and I would definitely need some assistance. If anyone else likes the idea and volunteers to give me a hand with it then it would be appreciated.
here is something i did a while back...
Press the ball, then shake it while asking the question, then press the ball again... you will get the answer
Its very primitive, but it did the job for the lab
it uses sensor api from koush to get the random responses by shaking.
it requires .net cf 3.5 and sqlce cf 3.5 which is attached to the post.
sorry i haven't got a cab file. u have to extract the zip file to a folder and run gDataBase.exe
Sweet man, thanks for file, gonna load it here soon.
Loaded it, got some questions...
1. Is there a way you can make it where you actually shake it and the ball moves and it stops with a reply?
2. Can you make your own responses and answers? That would be sweet! Custom responses you can plug in.
Thanks!
This app is actually going to come preinstalled on the new diamond an tp2 so dont worry about it...either itll get ported soon into a cab or you get it once the phone comes out!! ciao

Hey there guys,
I need some advice in a personal issue! i did skydiving a few months ago and now i am participating in a video contest on youtube! the thing is, the guy who gets the most views wins a sponsorin for a full license!
I gained almost 2000 views yet, but that is not enough to win the competition!
so, the question is: do you guys know some methods, to increase the views in youtube in an efficient way?
the problem is that the video is not uploaded in my channel, so i cant do video-responses, modify tags or the title in "lady gaga naked" or something like that ! not that this would grab MY attention!
I´m not thinking about DDOS or somethin illegal!
Do you have some advice in this case?
The link is listed below. If you klick it without knowing any advice it´ll help me either !

Evryone loves skydiving. Just post up the link in as many places as possible and let the fates decide!
Watching the video the instructor makes me laugh. He looks like he's in his element hurtling toward the ground at 120mph. Crazy!
How did it feel dude?

TL;DR
1. Either have somebody crash to their death or crash on someone to their (possibly mutual) death.
2. COSPLAY!
3. NAKED! <- might chaff
4. Weird landing targets! Like a giant pair of bewbs.
5. Skydive into the snowy mountains, snowboard down and cause an avalanche!
Tape it on you iPhone 4S with a crash landing.... if you get what I mean
+1 on Naked though
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
pulling the chute pin oh about 100 feet before landing might do it! nah.. just kidding. If you want to get many views post as much as you can in as many places possible. I was thinking you know facebook is one good place. a friend of a friend and before u know it it's viral!
