If there's one thing that I've always enjoyed about AA, it's the drama!  

LOL!  Gotta love the endless bickering involving certain members about seemingly nothing that brings a smile to my face each and every time.    

 

Yes it's quite obvious how much you enjoy it.

Kind of pathetic when you think about it.

 

 

Hey... yer right!

Thanks, now I'll steal your idea and market it into a soap opera.

Actually I am usually guilty of forgetting to use the search function so I can understand why a nOOb would forget or not even notice that it exists.

There are pleanty of threads about how to use the search function ........ you just have to find them somehow

 

Yes. I have to do a search on how to use the search feature

That's me in a nutshell.

 

No, this is you in a nutshell.

 

BWAHAAAHAAAHA!

Oh, one thing I forgot to mention--Yes, I think a FAQ with common questions containing informative answers would be very welcome, and we can provide a link right at the top of the new forum.  The current FAQ up there is just about the forum software and is useless in context of the current discussion.    I know that such a FAQ has been worked on before (Inky?), and I would be glad to lend my hand to such an effort.  

 

With such a FAQ in place, people asking common questions can be quoted answers from the FAQ, while (politely) directing them to look there for answers to other common questions.  

 

..Al

 

Geeze, I dunno how I misssed tyhis..

 

I did start working on a FAQ, but like every other thing I undertake, it sort of fell by the wayside...

Somehow I missed this one too, and it's run 6 pages already. Here's my 2 cents:

 

I agree that repetition may be annoying, but I also agree that someone shouldn't have to read an old thread and try to get their answer. Interaction is a plus.

 

Today I did a search for scary movie as a topic post. Since halloween is coming, I figured I'd ask people in the General Chat forum what their scariest movie is. I did a search and came up with a ton of hits, but nothing from a glance that looked like what I wanted to discuss. But sometimes rekindling an old thread is worse than starting a new one, since it will force everyone to read through all the old posts just to get to the new section.

 

Personally I think that after so much time has passed, bury the posts. Put them on a backup, or archive them or something, but let them die. I've been a member here for 2 1/2 years. I hit my 1000th post yesterday and became a Stargunner. I don't pad my numbers with little Emoticons. I don't condemn people for it, but I think if you reply to a post, you should at least say something meaningful. There are people who are newer to this forum than I am with 5000+ posts. Either they are mad posters or Emoticon junkies. Possibly both.

 

Anyway, if you feel like you should police the newbies, then link an old thread for them. I see this done quite often, but if you are the complainer, either ignore the post or just link it. Don't bitch at the guy or gal!
