If a newbie REALLY wants to learn they'll be able to find all the boards.
They're all listed in the search engines and most sponsors have links to all the major resource sites for the newbies to check out.

Mentioning something and spamming something are two totally different things.
If Lens or any of the mods have a problem with my post, I am sure they will let me know in some manner or another.
VNWR, Tom's and Cozy have all been mentioned many times on this board by many different people, usually in response to a request by a newbie. I have yet to see one of those threads shut down or any PUBLIC mention by a mod to not do it.
FACT: before a noob comes posting here or any of the other big boards I mentioned (don't want to be spamming here, ya know) They should go to a newbie board and learn the ropes.
FACT: A newbie does not always have the information required to know where to look for information, they don't know necesarilly what they are searching for. For you to assume that everyone out there knows what to look for to get started in this biz is "assumption of prior knowledge", something that should never happen when dealing with noobs (at least if you are actually trying to help them in anyway)
I did not make my post because I am wanting to help all the newbies out there or wanting to promote a specific board in any manner. I have done more than my my share of helping folks get started on the web, I am pretty much done with that for now. I made the post because I hate seeing people get hurt and I am tired of going into threads where I see it happening, so I have stopped doing that too. Therefore I made one post that in the future, if I need to, I can link to here on the board instead of having to repeat shit I have said in the past. Some folks have infinite patience, I am not one of them.
