Hey if you guys want to fill up the forum with I'm on vacation threads go right ahead. While we're at it bring back the post count celebration threads and the good morning and good night stuff
However I do have an issue when someone asks a legitimate question that was previously answered but has been buried and the regulars here can't even give an answer without some sarcastic comment like try the search function newb. This was answered a month ago.
Blows my mind that people are OK with repetitive posts from their "friends" yet someone with a legitimate questions gets dumped on because it was answered 3 weeks ago and is buried 5 pages down
I think that if you go back and look, you'll see that it's not usually the forum regulars that respond that way, and are disappointed when they see responses like that as well. Often, someone who has seen the thread will provide a link to the buried post in that thread. Once that happens, the thread is sometimes locked. And most of the time you'll see several forum regulars jump in and express their disappointment at the comments and ask the new poster to ignore the negative stuff and stick around.
I have seen posts like this too - sometimes I recognize the names of the people who do this (so admittedly, a very few regulars may indeed be doing this), but more often than not I don't - and I'm definitely what is considered a forum regular. Or it is someone who is known for that type of behaviour (those ones tend not to stick around here very long). In any case, it is always disappointing when this happens to a new poster - no matter who is providing the negative comments.
EDIT: Spelling - autocorrect strikes again!
