I'm actually with Clockers in sentiment.
A lot of posters here seem to be more interested in creating the 343436th thread about the same topic, splitting the same conversations over multiple locations, forcing dull repetition, while other original threads that bother to be different are forced down to lower pages.
I don't know why people can't join an existing thread rather then create a new one on the SAME topic... maybe it's an ego thing.. the poster looking for the glory of being the thread author? I don't know... I just know it bores the arse of me as well.
The mods should be locking off or merging redundent threads a lot more actively imo. This is the only forum I use that allows multiple redundent threads on the same subject to swamp the front page.
