Gender discrimination [case 2]

Now I just gonna keep this simple with 2 screenshots of a page from a IT online forum, lowyat.net. This is the Tech Support section, where users create a thread, or topic regardng his problems and others, normally people with good knowledge in computer hardware and software, will reply to assist the problem.

Next, we'll see another similer thread

A GUY HAVING PROBLEM WITH MSN MESSANGER

Personally i was shock to see the former thread as well. As u can see in both screenshot, its typical that in the replies in tech support threads are very low, simply because not many are good in helping out problems, expecially those complicated ones. And once someone post the solution, it isnt logical for others to go repeating the same stuff.

But there we have it, and i could hardly believe my eye. Lowyat.net members suddenly became very tech savy, they were all so professional that they could create 14 pages, 267 replies worth of solution to a simple problem of a simple software.

Anyway I refuse to brainstorm on what happend to all of them the next day when came another person with a problem of the same software.

Guess what, the next time a girl wants to ask for tech support, for instant replies, don't forget the word "girl" in u'r topic title. Include u'r best picture in u'r avatar and u'll even have a 2nd version of u'r topic. (The forum only allows a maximum of 2500 replies in a topic, further discussion have to preceed in the second thread, normally tag as 2nd version)

Happy foruming guys
