Alternative Story Progression?

I have always been more of a lurker and a reader so I've never had issues with the MATY culture and I wouldn't, necessarily, consider it an unfriendly site, more along the lines of bristly for a reason (check out the faq sometime). Granted, it's not the place to ask questions if you don't have basic computer skills (like not knowing how to extract a file, unhide file extensions, or how to make backups), but if you search the site you have a good chance of finding answers to most of your questions.
If one is entering MATY with the expectation of being spoon-fed answers and hand held through the whole process then, yes, sporking is not unexpected.

edit: I think the forum censor needs to be re-educated on how not to replace words that contain banned words within them.
