So I just happened to browse through the forums a few minutes ago and realized the amount of clutter building up. The clutter that I am talking about is "Repeat Threads..."

Repeat Threads? You ask yourself...
What are those?

Repeat Threads are: unoriginal ideas being brought up Over and Over and Over...
The best solution as to avoid these repeat threads is to use the Search Function.

Now I know that most of you will say "So what!?! It was a dead thread and I wanted to make a new one...!" It is always better to resurrect an old one then to pass off the idea as "your own."

I've got my example of what I SAW right at the hyperlink... The highlighted portions are all of the REPEATS...

I've also got a link to a VIDEO that I take NO credit for whatsoever... I found it on the SIG of BurritoSenior one day and thought it would be helpful for you people...
IDK about everyone else but I think there should be a Sticky just about REPEAT THREADS!
It would be nice if the Search Function was utilized once every century...

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

I completely agree, and always will. The fact of the matter is though, is that people still continue to believe that the search feature is flawed in some way. The main problem is that people think it doesn't work; when it does, and very well. I hate to say it though, but repeat threads will always happen.

Well I had this one idea where we can make a search button contest like xbox.com's "Find the X"

Good to see at least somebody takes this place seriously

I am sincerely disappointed in everyone except JIMH. JIMH, have a gold star.

Every idea has been thought of before. Besides, bumping and necroposting is a banable offense while making a new thread about an older topic is not. On top of that, the search feature is limited in many ways; certain things are easy enough to find, while others are too buried to find. You almost have to know the exact name of the thread you are looking for to find it.

I have always liked the idea of the Hot Topic system. NoF used it quite well in the Optimatch forum for subjects that always popped up, and I always wanted to see it implemented in the other forums.
