How far would you go?
At to what extent would you go just to answer a forum question?
This is kinda dumb,but i'm curious.exactly how far?
for example:
long ago [sounds like a fairy tale...] this one member from another manga site asked where they could get raws of a certain manga,and then i found this one site with a lot of the raws,but i needed to sign up...so i signed up just to get the raws...and thats how far i went to help someone :]
how about you? how far would you go?
*to those people that think i went too far: i know.its weird...i dont know why,but it became a habit ever since i signed up for that one site...

I don't go that far. If I don't know what is asked for, I just try a few choice words on google and hope something turns up.
If somebody is trying to find something that I like,
then I could do the same as you, but if I think
they search for something not worth the work, then, meh.

Not dumb at all. (:
It depends on how much enthusiasm I have in that moment.
But if I do decide to help, I'll go all the way~

Pretty much the same.
If I like what they are searching for then I will help out as much as I can, but if I am not interested, then I won't bother.

Thirded...most people would probably just do so if they're interested on the subject.
It depends if I think I can help them, who they are (like a friend or something), or if it's a forum I post a lot at and feel at more home.
I'd be more likely to help someone here than at a forum where I just registered and knew no one.
But if I said that I would help someone, then I will do my best to do it, and go as far as I can.
Probably googling for the info for more than 10 minutes or taking a look at my list trying to find something. If it's something I have a vague feeling I might find, then I try 🤣

raises hand I'd do that too. On several occasions, I've spent more than an hour going through my lists because someone is looking for a particular series and I know I've read it.

I've spent 3 hours reading a crash dump file for someone I only know online. I read through about 500mb of memory before figuring out what was crashing his pc.

That's typically as far as I'll go, unless I really like that person and know they'd go the extra mile for me if I made a request of a similar nature.
There are so many more knowledgable people here (some of the mods scare me with their knowledge) that I'm not all that useful, most of the time. =)
If you've ever thought or said "Nice Guys finish last" and really meant it, then you should probably read this LJ post by DivaLion. It's incredibly insightful whether you're male or female.

Depends how much time I have and how generous I'm feeling. Sometimes I spend ages trawling through my lists to get a good selection of manga when people post in I'm looking... or I search google to find the info and other times I answer questions just off the top of my head if at all.
The pen is mightier than the sword...and considerably easier to write with.
