It's because people REFUSE to use the search function, and decide to continually clutter the boards with topics that have already been beaten into the ground. It's become so polluted in here that it's very difficult to find anything useful. C'mon Mods, do your jobs, and start cleaning this place up.
Maybe there's a way to extend the limitations on new user accounts... So like anyone with fewer than 10 posts can't post URLs, anyone with under 10 posts can't make a new topic without first running a search.
The only thing that annoys me more than posts by people on a topic already discussed several times? Is several OTHER people feeling the need to reply with "Why don't you use SEARCH"-type comments which pushes the friggin' post to the top of the board rather than letting it die without comment.
Wow, the community here is so welcoming to new users. It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.
You can't really use the forum search to find numbers so anyone who is trying to find information about a new release based on its number won't get any results.
WOW you guys are being jerks.... way to push this thread to the front by adding more posts.... instead of a simple here is the thread that covers this, and letting it die......you guys(and now me) are helping pollute the forum by making this thread have more replies.... a simple private message would have sufficed. I hope nobody else makes this mistake. OUCH!!!!

Sometimes the best way to learn is through public humiliation.

Yeah, actually taking a moment to EDUCATE the guy instead of berating him is asking too much huh? Yeah he made a mistake, but at least he's TRYING to contribute. Nice to see some of the other posters jumping all over him. Great friendly community we have here... Wouldn't be suprised if he left.

Actually, this was somewhat helpful for me. When .76 was released, I spent about 30 minutes skimming through the thread(s) looking for the specific improvements. All I ever saw was "I just downloaded it!", "thanks!!!!", and "I'll report back after I've installed it!!!!". So it was finally nice to click on a thread, and get some real information.
