How is this important?

Does that help you at all? All we ask is that you take 20 seconds to look, all I did was type in "Search" and these were on the first page. That's all you have to do, is it so hard?

 

[S.H.A.R.P.]

It is important, because we would like you to be innovative in the new topics you make. If everybody keeps on making the same thread over and over, this forum will eventually become an utterly boring pit of flame.

Often, there is a period where one specific subject is made over and over again in a very short period of time. This is absolutely bloody annoying, for reasons I really should not have to explain.

Also, this thread you made here? It has been done before. Many times, in fact.

Edit:

Because if people don't bother to see if their particular topic has already been brought up and just start a new topic, it won't be long before I have to sift through thirty pages of this sort of tripe:

Spoiler: Oh please God no

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Which is why this forum needs a sage button.

Okay, I'm curious. What's a "sage button"?

Uhhhhh....

What cancer? These are threads, they're not going to kill you, don't worry.

Just to be clear: I'm not the one with the cancer. So no, it won't kill me.
The Escapist, on the other hand.

Damn it. I thought you dropped it, but then you decided to edit it and continue this argument. Well this isn't worth it. Your just going to continue blabbering on whilst I will remain with my argument.

Your argument is out your arse. These threads make it harder to find new threads we haven't seen before because they fill the front page. Everytime one of these rethreads is bumped a new idea gets sent further down the page list and further from being read. Which is why this forum needs a sage button. But since there isn't the only way to get a new idea read is to repost it...you see the fucktarded circle this causes?

Sure. If I decide to post a thread I'll, as Hitman says, do a very quick search. As asking a person to search hundreds of forums is just ridiculous. And if I make a thread which was done before, about a month or 2 ago, then I don't want to hear: "use the search bar" or "this thread has been done before".

This whole thread could have been avoided if OP'd taken the advice of the people he's bitching about.

Indeed, this just reeks of ignorance on their part.
