alright, yes there are forums devoted to special categories, but if you want a fast response, off topic would be the quickest. Those other forums move at a snails pace compared to OT. If I want a quick answer, I'm posting in OT, don't give a fvck if wrong forum or repost.

The mods will move the thread to the correct forum if they feel it's necessary.

and if I posted this thread in forum issues, it would not get the amount of exposure as it would here. Who would go check out forum issues unless they got a problem? I for one have gone there maybe twice. So, there are many advantages to posting in OT compared to other forums, that's just the way it works.

what we need are some keyword tags for each thread, something that is searchable, but not otherwise visible.

It would be better if people posted things in the correct forum and if people didn't repost stuff.

For instance, this should probably be in Forum issues :)



EDIT
It would be better without the spelling Nazis though ...

So help you god if I ever become a mod. :roll: You totally ignored my entire post. Either that or you're just a snot nosed prick. Either way, you'd be fvcked. :p IMO, Mods should start warning people for posting in the wrong forum and BANNING people for repeated offenses.

I DO check other forums, and I check them often. I'm just too stupid to be able to respond to most questions there. I check Forum Issues several times per day.

Who cares if something was posted six months ago or even a week ago if people are enjoying it?

Because it's bad and stupid, duh!

I'm sorry, but that is a repost. Nik said it earlier in this thread.
Damn, should have searched. I guess that's why you're Elite and I'm only puttering along the road to Lifer :(.
