We can start banning them after we start banning all the little kiddies that can't make a post without swearing.

I will find it quite humorous when this thread is old and someone bumps it....

Until then I will use my powers to unban you for the next 10 years! :mad:

The bannings will continue until morale improves.

I keep seeing complaints about the search function here - I never really minded having to go to the advanced search option to find what I'm looking for (and for the most part, it usualy always works) but I can see why some would dislike it - would be nice to just be able to plop a term in one place and have better results but oh well. Guess I'm just trying to say to use the advanced search for all yor searching needs is all.....son.

I've searched for a thread with the exact title using advanced search and it comes up empty. I had to go through a few pages on the forum using ctrl F to find it.

Strange, the advanced search has always worked for me. I only search for thread titles, and typically only one word, but it's always found what I've needed.

Jesus Titty Fuckin' Christ... we really need a better search. The basic search is pretty goddamn worthless for the most part. Advanced is good though. But holy fuck does the basic bitch suck. She doesn't even suck well. She just sucks horribly cuz she doesn't know how to suck.

Then people get ticked you did not use the search engine when a topic was posted before.

And those people who get ticked should automatically get a 24hr suspension if they publicly whine and bitch.

That dont sound fair. :(

It's the people who just act like no time that has past with a bump that are the most annoying. Just be up front about it if you bump an old thread.

I do like Pharoh's take on it as well.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Says the one-man thread-bumping machine. :grunt:

There was one forum (forget which one) that would show a message if you replied to a thread that was last posted on several years ago- it would say something like "This thread is XX number of years old and you are the first one to reply to it in that time. Knowing that, are you SURE you still want to do this?"

Re: Can we ban all the members that are bumping decade old threads?
 
I still don't see the capital crime in bumping old threads. Often there are interesting discussions and viewpoints that can be restarted with input from new participants. Some forums actually strictly prohibit bumping old threads, which is preposterous.

Re: Can we ban all the members that are bumping decade old threads?
 
Bumping threads is a great way to see if people are paying attention, as well as observing nothing has changed in the last several years and just sit back and watch people converse as if it's one discussion.

I've been a victim of those bastards that bump threads. But it gives me uncontrollable giggles late at night, so don't take this away.

With Trump taking away my internet, I'm not sure what I'll do with myself.

Just be respectful, or you may incur the wrath of other.

Or you could bump this thread, that's been idle since 2001 but is just BEGGING to be bumped... particularly since it has a Joltaddict post in it!

I've said it before, but I always chuckle at the thought of someone receiving an e-mail notification on a thread <s>years</s> a decade later.
