Regarding the old thread thing, to be fair that 'can' discourage posting on a site and reduce traffic/numbers. People are more likely I think to respond to a fresh and new thread, than one which is years old and hidden on page 20something. Many might even consider it inappropriate to bump such old threads. Besides, expecting new users to research topics before they talk about them, while it may be good practice to do so, sucks the fun out of the experience of using sites like this and might just make people get bored or annoyed and leave.
I agree with neeto. It isn't fun for even an older member to search for a thread and go through several other titles just to see if that one exists. I myself want fun on sites like these, and I'm not against newer, or members who have been gone for awhile, remaking similar or exact topics that they are not aware exists cuz they want fun. Unless there's a legal copyright issue on that thread it's all good.
people that think my art sucks and they dont even make anything except maybe copy something like music and play it in front of people and its only old stuff. i hate old shit except for old games and some old music is good.
That's how spelling works.
A tip though - when doing a search for something, keep it simple. Type in "pet peeve" and you will hit gold.
most people that are old fashon is my pet peeve
