Sub 7 Q and A

Want to be some sort of "l33t h4x0r" and use Sub7 on your fellow AOL buddies? Look no further, all of the lamer questions can be answered here! (Please note the use of sarcasm)
Q: Where can I get Sub7? This can easily be found on the internet. Such a place to start would be a search engine like Yahoo or Google.
Q: Every time I download Sub7, my gay Norton Anti-Virus says it's a virus! What do I do?! If you think something is wrong, perhaps walking away from your computer would be a good thing. Try reading about the damn things you download first.
Q: How do I get an IP address? Use netstat in a DOS prompt to get it from someone when directly connected through AIM
Q: I have their IP!!! Now what do I do? You can ping them(!)
Q: I have the server file, and ran it on my computer, but when I put their IP address in, nothing happens, HELP! You stupid, ignorant sheep. Don't run the server.exe file on your own computer unless you want to have a good time getting the virus off of your computer.
Q: When I go to open the file, a bunch of programs come up to open it with, what do I use? Again, if you don't know what to use to open a .zip, .ace, or .rar file, you should not be touching stuff like Sub7.
Q: Ok, I gave the other person the sub7.exe file, and I'm running the server.exe file, what now? Ok wittle boy, just wait for it to bite you in the ass when you see your mouse moving for no reason and your printer starts printing out "you are a stupid idiot".
Q: If I email you, will you help me? Yes, only if you first proudly proclaim yourself Lizard Queen.
Q: I got the server file on their computer, I have their IP address, what now? Ok, good start. This is how things are supposed to be done. You will then want to free some RAM up since it's a really demanding program. To do so, press and hold CTRL, and ALT and the same time, and then hit DELETE about 4 times. Rinse and repeat as needed.
Q: What port do I use for Sub7? Use port 80, that's the default port for all things dealing with "the internet"
Q: Under the "Advanced" menu icon, it has an option for something called "FTP", what's that? That is the computer's equivelent of PMS. You don't want to mess with this unless you want to have a hard time with your computer whenever you use it. It's generally not a good thing to mess with.
Q: I downloaded Sub7, ran the server file like you told me not to, and now my computer doesn't work. Really? I told you not to. And then if your computer is broken, how the hell are you reading this? Therefore not making it broken. Fool.
Now, if this didn't help you, then I don't think you should even be contemplating the idea of even touching the program. This was meant to get the point to those of you that do need help with Sub7, and come here looking for help, that if you ask some pretty dumb questions, you should not be using the program.
