Do you need more explanation? Kirjava said to me I was slow I need to learn roux to be fast. I guess Kirjava the annoying thing.

Learn to see irony
Or perhaps the irony is the fact that i ironically think kirjava is being ironic when he's not, just to add to the irony

Also I'd say the most annoying things in cubing are some people. I would say most people but then some people would get annoyed at me.

The people on the forum who ask how to get faster or who complain about speedcubing being hard. Shut up guys, we don't want to hear it.

ESPECIALLY: "I want to get faster but how do I get faster without practicing?"

No.

A lack of advancements on square-1. There are no very good quality square-1s that do not either lock up or pop loads.
 
the best thing and the worst thing... the community.

i understand the people asking "how can i get faster" because practising is not all you need to become faster, other things can enable you to be a better cuber like breaking down algs and understanding the cube more or learning new methods and incorporating the ideas into your solves. Sometimes people just wish to know what it is that they feel needs work on specifically.
"I am 30 seconds how can i get below 25" well it depends on how long it takes you to do certain parts and how you move the cube...

unfortunately some people and even frequent members have the tendency to say "just practice" or shrug people off with no intention of advice. If you dont have advise to give, dont post in the topic. I have met some nice people who have given great advise but also some nasty people who put themselves into a higher collection of cubers that speak in some kind of cubing language filled with acronyms and "noob" or "practice" comments.

thankfully many people are not like that and are willing to help or at least offer it

Except practising is all you need to do, and it is very good advice. If noobs also stopped asking how to get faster and used the search function, then others wouldn't have to tell them anything.

So much this. I'll never understand why people repeat "just practise" over and over again. Yes, practising is the most important thing, and without it you won't get faster, but it is not the only thing involved. If the only advice you can think of is "practise", you might as well not even bother posting.
 
Cubing is fun and we want to talk about it, noobs too. Noobs (like me) obviously have more questions than answers but discussing those on the forums is more fun than just search and stay quiet.

besides i dont think the search function is very good on this forum anyway... its best to just chat with a cuber on skype in my opinion.
