There are other kinds of people out there. Fanboys, critics, other geeks, hardcore developers, gurus, kids that will like to play with something new, dads that want to make a gift to their wives.

These guys will come here and will be scared away by the same guys that go to jollausers forum and feel pity for these poor guys.

So please try to stop a moment and think how big is the world and how many kind of persons exist.
It's sad that you view what we are saying that way. It's far simpler. There is a powerful community here. We think that it is to our mutual benefit to build upon it, instead of building a new one. That is all.

We are open to changing stuff so that we can accomodate all those kinds of people you describe. We're not afraid to grow.

P.S. I also believe that it is to the benefit of the dad who wants to get a gift to his wife. When things go wrong, we have many really helpful knowledgeable people here that will try to solve dad's problem without resorting to a reflash without second thought, like your average service center will do.
