Maybe it is just me.

But i find it hard to follow a string of thought when I have to wade through a bunch of vaguely related other posts or try to find where a thread was hidden. Also one aspect of a subject may have my interest while others do not. It all becomes interference/static to me. I understand mods are trying to be helpful, but more thought needs to go into the closing or moving of threads in my opinion. I don't relish disagreeing with Aye. She is good people.

The problem is with those that don't take time to see if there is a thread already started on the topic. I lost count of how many threads were merged today just on the attempted assassination attempt. If someone really thinks putting a new thread on the same subject in a different area (politics as opposed to election 2024) makes it "different", they are thinking way too hard. If someone thinks they need to have their name on the opening post to get more cred here, I got news for them - "cred" doesn't mean anything here. Multiple threads on the same topic do nothing but cause the forum to be more cluttered than it already is.

It's usually the same dozen or so offenders/attention seekers that insist on duplicating threads.

If there were only a way to describe the way threads are posted and responded to around here...

When I do it's an obvious mistake because it doesn't happen often. I really try to look first but I don't always know what key words to use.

Aye is o.k.

Ever since she started a dogmaphobe tribute thread, I have had a deep and abiding love for her.

Have you proposed yet?

The sex is still good, and I don't want to ruin it.

And what exactly does she have to say about this?

 

[Dogmaphobe]

And what exactly does she have to say about this?

The words I hear most often from her are "Oh, God. OH God! OHGODOHGODOHGODOGHOGDOHHhhhhh"

Yeah... Is she running away from you when she's shouting this? Sorry for getting off topic btw to Aye and the OP.

Running away? Heavens now.

She is usually leaving a series of parallel red welts on my back while intoning such.

IMHO when the shooter was ID'd the first thread was no longer relevant.

That and the first thread I was directed to was very poorly written as far as the title went.

Your tool to check that when posting an article doesn't necessarily work if you don't go explicitly by the thread topic that may have been posted previously.
