Are you sure you were never rude about it. You know, after a stressed day, etc.

say what you like but I've had this discussion with atleast three mods dating from around mid '03 to last year sometime. All agreed with me. There's no point in carrying on a conversation when the others in the conversation don't even post here anymore. Check the join dates of people in this thread alone......why bump a topic from 2005 or 2004 when only a handful of people in this entire forum were here posting at that time.

but hey... think whatever.

Um, you do know that I am a mod, right?

It doesn't matter if the original people that created a thread are still around or not, whatever's being discussed can still continue to be discussed. Do you think the people who created some of the longest-running threads in the GDF are still around? No, but the original threads are still being used because there's no point in cluttering the place up with a half-dozen threads on the same topic.

Though, to be fair, even from members that know thread title and existence of one thread, to actually find it can't always be expected.

Which is true - I know there's been a bunch of times that I've known something was done before but just could not find the original thread at all. Which can be rather annoying stick out tongue

What I find annoying (because I usually don't look for old threads) is when I look for a quote that I remember pretty closely. Can be impossible, or very time consuming.

don't care that you're a mod.......cluttering up the place? a post on page 162 and a post on page 1 about the same topic is cluttering up the place? like I said......whatever. none of my posts have ever been deleted or merged so it really doesn't bother me........just answering the dude's question.
