Yet another example of people resisting change when it happens. They changed the forums back?!?!? ZOMG! Now we'll actually have more people and ideas floating around further enhance the goal of this forum if I'm not mistaken.

While I can't deny that some people lack basic forum searching skills...a grain of salt(or three or four even) should be taken by some of the more senior members when interacting with similar threads created by the newer users. They are not trying to impose on your thread nor are they trying to 1up anyone else. They are simply trying to share the information with everyone else like everyone else is trying to do.

God forbid you take the higher road and explain to them the search function or maybe just take the 5 seconds and link the pre-existing thread.

This is a great forum started by great people. Sorry OP but I really doubt that this forum is on its way to auto-implosion. Not to mention...isn't getting to know why people joined an important way to maybe discover like-minded people so you know who you would like to have in your neck of the woods when the sh*t hits the fan?
