The Repeated Thread

[StoPCampinGn00b]

Sometimes, users create threads that have the same exact topic and purpose of a past thread. And sometimes, it happens over and over. Feel free to post some examples and have a laugh.


Here are a few "Is Warcraft 3 dead?" threads.

Shouldn't we just put those topics under the "I shouldn't even be a part of this community" category?

Those threads are born probably because :
1.) Our search feature isn't really reliable. If you search for a certain topic, you'll get a lot of unrelated results. e.g. with the keywords "Warcraft 3 dead" you'll get a bunch of maps and just a couple of related results.
2.) Members who've posted those shit are either new or have no idea we have a search feature (much less the Advanced search)
3.) Laziness. Why spend the effort of searching for old threads when you can make a new one and get the latest answers?
4.) With the "Is Wc3 dead?" thing, I guess they make new threads to get the newer opinions? I mean, hey, the community's opinion on WC3's lifespan might've change in the couple of weeks after the other thread has been posted right?

Repeated threads happen in the resource sections so why not in the forums as well? xD

I still don't get it why people are into that stuff, nothing new but it tends to get overused and annoying especially for the members around.

Why even bother to make such a thread if you're such a constant downer?
If they don't like it then they're free to search for other gaming/modding forums and leave this place, none said that they should give a shit about it, I mean really.

Yeah make that 3.

Also some topics are locked after certain period, so if you want to continue the discussion you must create new, even if it isn't, because of this necromancy rules, you'd better create a new thread, even if old one exists.

In summary, regarding those people. Get out. Get off my lawn.
