Yep, it sometimes does.

Thankfully, you can yell 'Search Bar' to make you feel better.
You are the culprit here, therefore not welcome!

EVIL!
I get the feeling that we'll end up derailing this thread, making it even worse.
Nope.

Someone already derailed it.

AND he stole your old avatar.

Can't you just kick his ass?

What pisses me off most is when someone just completely copies your thread. Makes my blood boil.

The reason your search turned up Stolen Pixel comics is because you used the "Search the Escapist" bar in the upper right.

Thats not the search function.

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/search

Go here and search.

OT: Not so much on the threads, but i find that if i learn something, or hear about something new, all of a sudden, its everywhere.
Still didn't find anything, but maybe I'm just wording it strange.
No, i know. I've never seen this thread before and i'm sure its original. I was just saying, thats not what people mean when they say "search bar". Its very misleading. Oh, and remember...

The searchbar is like the force. It is strong in this one. But maybe not you. Don't worry if someone finds a thread that you couldn't find in the searchbar. Maybe the force isn't strong in you. But you can still be a bounty hunter class!!!

Don't worry, you're not a culprit, you merely became a ninja.

Eh, it's not a big deal.
I declare this thread to now be about cats.
See, now I can't help thinking you're me for about 2 seconds, and going 'I don't remember writing that!'
It's actually confused me a few times already, I must admit.

You too? I will think of a great idea and then someone has taken it, its on T.V, or in stores. I believe the huge companies are using giant mind reading devices that read our minds and suck out all the good ideas and then copyright them and use them. I say we destroy these machines and save the world so that everyone's ideas are safe in their head. (no I'm not on drugs)

Tis the idea fairy. It takes your best and worst thoughts and gives them to someone else. You are destined to come across your idea in their hands because it loves mocking your existance.

I once did a thread and whcih was copied the same day, well not copied exactly but it was basically the same thing but for another country. I did not mind though seen as he said on his post that my thread was his inspiration. All credit to me lol.

Great minds think alike,
also, while this prolly doesn't apply to your best avatar thread idea it applies to a lot of others: unoriginal lazy minds think alike. Thats why you see the same damn threads every otehr time theres new members.
Apparently a lot of people have a hard time imagining that when they thought of something which should've been obvious to everyone, someoen else prolyl already thought of it, and made a thread. (360 vs ps3, most badass game character, best game etc. -trheads i'm looking at you)

But in your case, i think people are actually stalking you, I know i am.

It's happened to me three times.

Which I consider a bit strange since i haven't been here very long and my post count is low, so I guess I'm very prone to thread theft (I also search barred mine and nothing came up, so maybe the wording was different, but when the thread names where ridiculously similar and like 2 days after, I was a tad irked) .That and my newb status keeps my from yelling "Search Bar" to older members. I don't want everyone to hate me before I make any friends
