Have any of you morons stopped to think that so-called "reposts" actually might serve a valuable purpose...?

the problem is sometimes the repost in question is like on the same page or maybe the next one.

The problem with most of the reposts is that they're videos/flash animations that were first introduced 16 years ago, and have since been widely disseminated on the internet.

I don't think a search is asking too much. If you find that thread, reply to it, thus allowing people who didn't see it before to go to it and people who have to avoid it. If you don't find that thread, or the thread is archived, go ahead and post it. My 2 cents anyway.

Besides, that doesn't work if the thread you found is in the archives.

I said you should post a new thread if it's archived.

Well, if everyone spent 18 hours of day on ATOT they would know how annoying reposts really are.

Wait, I don't spend 18 hours a day on ATOT so repost do not bother me.

BTW who are you calling "morons"?
