HAH! Nice.

Reposts are annoying to those who frequent, but as long as you search at least a little to try and avoid this, I don't have a huge problem with it.

do a search at least, and if there's already a thread about it, bring it back to the top rather than starting a new one.

Yeah, but the problem is that a lot of the time, the repost occurs in a thread titled "hey, check this out" or some other non-descriptive title.

IMHO, if the OP of the original post was too stupid to describe the post accurately, then it's not a repost.

Then again, I forgot about the full text searching...... Title isn't as important any more.

I'm not a repost nazi, but I HATE people that don't do a search first.

most of the subjects turn out to be

LOL!!! CHECK OUT THIS IDIOT!! ****VID****
