Quote by Ice Pie
The problem here is that if someone wants to talk about something that has been discussed before, they can do one of two things:
1. Start a thread and be subjected to the dismissive and disrespectful "The search button is your friend" mantra.
2. Bump an old thread and get the other broken record, "This has been done to death."
Either way, the message is, thou shalt search the entire history of the forum before posting anything, and if it's been talked about before, thou shalt shut up.
This guarantees that mountains of total shit will be posted, because all the interesting topics have been 'covered' before. Some of that shit, like "Who's your favourite comedian?" will be welcomed, some of it, e.g. "I'm watching so-and-so on telly, isn't that interesting" will be binned, and some of it, word association for example, will be tolerated until someone decides that it too has been "done to death", and nobody can tell in advance which shit will be allowed and which shit will be shot down in smug sanctimonious flames. The upshot is, long-standing members get pissed off and leave, and newbies get slaughtered on day one and don't bother again.
Maybe there is some deep psychological need for a couple of the people with the extra buttons to have the last word, so what we end up with is their sarcastic, arrogant bullying cluttering up the board - locked of course so that the people they insult can't respond.
How very grown up.

Getting up at the unearthly hour of 5am one morning to let my barking and sometimes incontinent dog into the garden I didn't bother to put any clothes on ...As I pulled back the curtains to open the french window I heard this voice say ..hmmm nice arse ..
I turned round to see my mother in law who was stopping with us and had got up to let her yorkie terrier out too.![]()
