    Hey Guys/Gals,
    I'm new to the forum but glad to be here! I've been reading alot of the threads and am really impressed. I believe I've got alot of valuable information to contribute to here. I was wondering which moderator I could speak to about getting a new sub-forum added regarding Cricket Wireless the hottest new service provider (in select markets, for now ) Look forward to answering questions regarding all sorts of mobile stuff!

    Thanks!

    I'd like to see a Cricket forum, as well. I have questions regarding my Cricket SLVR L7C's capabilities, and right now I'm just not sure where to ask them.

    Re: Adding a New Sub-Forum for Cricket?

    I would also like to see a Cricket place to talk. Maybe even a place for prepaid phones somewhere to. Like for Cricket, have a place for Jump Mobile users to chat. I'm lost on how to get ring tones for my unlocked LG VX5300 Jump Mobile phone.
    It's Not A Tumor!!

    Re: Adding a New Sub-Forum for Cricket?

    In almost every newsgroup or other forum, people will propose dividing the forum into sub-categories because they think the sub-category is important. Maybe it is important, but creating new groups means some people will only look at part of the action. Thus, the audience is divided.

    This is useful if there is a reason to divide the audience, say, the group is overwhelmed with posts about a particular oddity. Or there are clearly separate categories that don't overlap much.

    Neither of these reasons apply to the Cricket sub-category. It doesn't have a compelling reason to exist.

    Yeah, you're right. Cricket phones don't have their own separate firmware, their own feature sets that differ from other carriers. There's no possible reason for Cricket folks to want to talk to other people who have the same carrier and hardware they do.

    And obviously your incredibly high post count proves your wealth of knowledge and experience in such matters.

    How about you go earn your CPF to download your free ringtone in another thread, by not being a pontificating ass?

    Eventually, there will be a separate forum for particular Cricket-only issues. You don't have to worry yourself. But there isn't enough traffic to merit it now. It would just fragment the audience at this point.

    Actually, your count of a hundred is kinda low (unless you just started here). Is there some other place that you post that gives you these bragging rights?

    I'm not asking for a free ringtone, nor do I want one. Where did you get that idea?

    So as a brand new user whose first post was in this thread, telling us we shouldn't be allowed a forum, you know the traffic details for the site, and their expansion plans, do you? Neat.

    My 100+ count is low, but your single-post count when you replied to this thread - you're up to a staggering three posts now, woo hoo! - shows a deep sea of knowledge.

    I don't profess to have a high post count. Mind you, I also don't go around posting condescending posts professing to know what's best for the site on my VERY FIRST POST.

    Because in general, people who bump month-old threads on this site for their first handful of posts are looking to do one thing, and one thing only - earn CPF $ so they can download some free ringtones.

    Maybe I misread you - maybe you're just trying to piss everybody off as a newbie instead by being the sole voice of dissent.

    First, you make an introductory disclaimer saying your count is low (I noticed you included the + so people could see you broke the C barrier); then, you make a contrast between your grand 100 + to my uno. Then a sentence later, you backpedal with guilt saying you don't have a high count.

    I'm sorry, kid, one hundred is still not much. After a few years, you'll see what I mean.

    And quantity doesn't count for much anyway. It's what you say.

    There's a big difference between one and one hundred. I've heard it's about a hundredfold difference.

    Your arrogance is staggering.

    I see no quality at all in your condescending posts. I've posted helping people here - as of last night, you've posted solely to ask for help, or to tell people why you think they shouldn't be allowed a better structured forum to ask for help in, based on your staggering experience here.

    Re: Adding a New Sub-Forum for Cricket?

    You're a couple years late for me - I've long since moved on from Cricket. I'm sure the forum will be of some use to others, though.
