Well i go to sleep and dont leave rooms, but i will if people dont like it when i stay in there without being there phisically...

No it just bugs me when there's tons of people in there and no help at all

Not everyone can be there to help you all the time. People have lives.

i mean when there is a "BIG LIST O PEOPLE IN ROOM" and NOT ONE ansers thats bull but w/e

As I said, not everyone can be online. People might be working on other things or be afk.
That is why we also have a forum. Quite a few of those users might be connected via a bnc meaning that the bnc is always connected to the server even when the person isn't. People help you at their own convenience. Sometimes there isn't anyone to help you. You have to accept that.

Also, you have to be patient. Ask your question and wait. Its not necessary that you will get your answer immediately.
We also have a forum for the same reason. Ask your question here (in a new thread) and wait for a reply Shouldn't take long.

Im sorry but, if you were speaking the same way you are now i wouldnt expect anyone to want to help you

One important thing to remember about irc channels or forums, is that even if someone reads your question, it doesn't necessarily mean that they know what the answer is. The best bet is to be patient and see if someone can answer your question eventually.

Normally i wouldn't bump an older thread, but it's stickied anyways.

And shouting and/or ranting about there being so many people and none helping you doesn't help your case because
a) Not everyone is online.
b) Of the people who are online, not everyone knows the answer.
c) Of the people who are online and know the answer, very few would reply if you have a bad attitude.

Thus going into an irc channel, your best bet is to say something like this:
"Hi. I had a question regarding <topic>"
"<insert question here>"
Now, as lizard.boy said, you should patiently wait. Maybe if you want, ask your question again in the same fashion in an hour or two so that the people who just came in or the ones who just came online can have a look at it.

Why do the members in the chan not browse up and read?
a) Most people ask questions and leave within 60-120 seconds (ie are impatient)
b) Some people are connected via bncs which basically means, you will see them as online even when they aren't and when they do come online, they usually don't keep logs of previous activity.

Thus to sum up, ask your question kindly and wait patiently for an answer. Being impatient/rude never helps your case
