More like 10+ times over the past 2 years...Doesn't anybody spend 15 seconds searching before rushing out and making a new thread? Or at least check the dates? People were complaining about this repost http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=63011" rel="nofollow - in 2009 . This is even worse than the "most unwanted music" song. ------------- if you own a sodastream i hate you |

It was posted http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=81480" rel="nofollow - a few hours ago and in http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=76039" rel="nofollow - in February of this year . This is not something that is so high quality it needs to be reposted every 6 months for the benefit of the people who wander into the fandom or the internet in the intervening time. It's not like it's hard to find. And it doesn't even have a decent thread title so the next person who discovers it on their own can easily find this thread with the search and perhaps not make another one... ------------- if you own a sodastream i hate you |

I believe he'd actually be a productive admin. Hell, he probably cares about the colour scheme issue on JMA I complained about 7 months ago (and quite a few members agreed with me), something M@x doesn't give a sh*t about, although he promised a solution. -------------

If you recognize something as already been posted before or 100 yrs ago........don't read it.
That was a funny article....BTW, its the first time I have seen the post.

I don't see the big deal with having the same thing posted multiple time. Redundancy isn't a bad thing if it gives people a chance to read and discuss something they haven't before, etc. Especially considering that I've seen you react with just about the same amount of disdain to gravediggers - if they can't post a new topic, and they can't bump old ones, are they doomed to never discuss a certain topic because they happened to miss the magic timeframe where it was originally discussed? |

I recommend re-naming the thread title to something more obvious for searching purposes and being able to find like Cracked On Prog and place it in Just For Fun. I think it's the first time I've seen it in this form though. And I appreciate the humor, it appears to be written by a true fan. By the way, people could do a better job with their thread titles. When appropriate, put your screen name in it instead of making it too generic. That way people can go "Oh that pinhead again, don't need to bother with that." Which is why I put Slartibartfast in any poll I launch when I should. The only time I got it wrong was on 9/11/11 releases poll. I should have just left it at choices of stuff I was interested in. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I have seen this article before since I go to Cracked almost as often as ProgArchives. When I saw the heading, I had a strong inkling on what the discussion was about. I've read the article numerous times now, and it is still funny. I think laughing at it is a sign of a true Prog fan, for in doing so, we laugh at ourselves.  ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |
