Does anyone ever ask you for game help?

[Lady_Alizarin]

I noticed that when some people reply to newcomer's introduction threads in the "Introduction" page, some experienced members will say, "If you need any game help, feel free to PM me," or "Got any questions? PM me and I will help you." That's very thoughtful of the experienced members to offer help to the newbies, but do the newbies ever send you a PM with game/forum help questions? I know the mods probably get plenty of PMs with game/forum questions, but what about the regular members? Does anyone ever go to them for help/advice when being offered?

Tell me, helpful and experienced FH members, does anyone ever ask you for game/forum help via private message? Someone  asked for my help once, and it was regarding preset and map making.

I used to have something about offering help in my signature (though I had to remove it due to the character limit) and offered help to newbies in general. I haven't ever gotten any pms asking for help, however.

[Astraea]

No, not for me, anyway. I wish people would, PM me for help, though. ;-; *Crai*

[lindaminda]

Of course they do

[unnbrellas]

No, but then again I suck at fixing things. I can make things, but most prefer tutorials.

It's likely becuase its akward randomly asking for help.

*Ahem*
Yes.

Really, though, even if you don't get many PMs asking for help, the fact that you offer help is a wonderful thing. Even in intro boards, or keeping it in your signature, it really can be a small thing that makes the forum seem much more welcoming to a new user.
It's very kind of you to offer your time to help make someone else's experience here better.

Its not all the time newcomers ask for help through a PM. Often the first thing a user will do is just make a thread before asking a individual a certain question. I think when I did mentioned "If you ever need help" often its 5/10 that I get PMs asking for help related to preset the type of Photoshop techniques people are wanting.

Yes, I've had a few people randomly friend me and ask me for map help, MassMarking help, and so on. I don't mind it at all, because I love helping people. I can't really do that in real life, so it gives me the opportunity I never had. c:

I was PM'd a couple times at least as I remember about problems in FH, but mainly Game Help is where I go to search for not-already-solved topics to answer. xD So, it's actually rare to find people PM'ing you about their problems there. Yeah. But agreeing with Aero here, it does feel pretty nice to help someone when you can't really do it much in real life. ^^

I actually do get a lot of messages asking for help which I don't mind but funny thing is I still wish I got more of those than derp messages.

I think I get more derp messages than actually real stuff sometimes
