"I wished i woulda thought of posting my questions on forums when i was in school..."

How would that have helped? As of now you would know nothing, no-one would employ you, prospective employers will search the internet before asking you for interview and would discover how you had faked your way through school; instead they will respect you for the hard work you put in studying and the skills you have acquired, which will be apparent from the very first interview question they ask you.

And when you are in a position (maybe already) of asking people to interview you know how the modern lazy-student scams work

But I don't mind helping students who are stuck. When I got stuck I used to ask a peer or a senior for help, the seniors frequently had all sorts of reasons (some good, some not-so-valid!) why they couldn't/wouldn't help, but the internet is a much wider Peer & Senior group and thus A Good Thing if not abused.
