    I find it useless. I don't have the cognitive ability to be concise.
    I ask
    real language questions and AI answers the wrong questions. The wiki doesn't come up with any answers. My google-fu is extremely weak.

    Maybe spend more time practicing those skills and less time complaining about not having them. -- digital man (rob)

    That's like asking someone in a wheelchair to walk... You need to be accessible, not deny my disability.

    everyone calls me stupid right? i did a ton of shit, a lot more than most people did. and i used to run iniquity and i had to switch to weird ass synchronet. i figured out how to have random menus, oneliners wall, and other shit. i made a whole game in baja.

    i mastered it. now years later i cant remember much because if you dont lose it you lose it. you can figure out this simple stuff.

    Well, like any other skill, "google-fu" can be improved with practice.

    The Wiki does have the answers. Get after it.

    That actually does depend on what you are looking for. The instructions for ADDFILES, for example, is still for the older version and some of the instructions it gives are no longer compatable. Follow them and you may not
    get the results you desire.

    HatchIT documentation is non-existent -- luckily it is interactive and can be figured out after a couple of tries.

    Just two examples I've run into recently.

    The top of https://wiki.synchro.net/util:addfiles page says
    "As of Synchronet v3.19, this utility has been deprecated in favor of the new addfiles.js utility script." with a link to the https://wiki.synchro.net/module:addfiles page. That seems to cover addfiles.
