    I should amend my thread to say... if your thread is about you or your experience only, then cutesy titles are ok.

    example...if Sniper7 is flying and has to beat a passenger down, because they took his parking space and then drank his coffee. Then its ok to make a thread saying OMG Had a Crazy day.

    I don't bother even thinking about new posts here. If I don't see something, I just wait and either someone else will post it, or someone will get flamed for reposting. Either way, it pops up and I'll see it then. Folks should be more careful about a descriptive title, but that's one of those "eye of the beholder" things too. Someone may think they're being descriptive, and others don't. Too damn much drama here about this stuff for me.

    If you delete threads immediately, everything will be new and there will be no reposts!

    Hahahaha, I couldn't either. I stopped after the second sentence. He started a new thread to tell people not to start new threads. Hmmmm...

    I know the reposts can be frustrating, and people should take the time to search, and having a good title can go a long way. But the threads about reposts are now reposts as HB pointed out. Whatevs.

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.

    that was my point really.
    we have reposts that are down the page 4 threads and have comments that are less than 12 minutes old.

    i used to never post. i read and read. UNTIL all the new members showed up and arent taking their ADHD medicine. Now, they are super hyperactive and cant focus. All they do is repost, continually, refuse to search and then get mad when they are called on it.

    i would love for the forum to go back to being calm. not a bunch of spastic people who got into the gun "game" last month and are spazzing about the future.
