Stop bumping ancient ******* threads!

[pepharytheworm]

I'm torn on the issue, honestly it doesn't bother me all too much, but at the same time I keep almost trying to answer one or two year old questions.

there's nothing wrong with answering questions that are years old. I'll use Google to find an answer to a question and it's usually found in forums where people post the same problem and then others help them out (and the posts are usually a couple years old). maybe that original person already figured out what they needed to, but they are probably not the only one looking for answers

it's better to bump old threads then start a new one about the same topic. why dismiss useful information others have given just because they didn't say it yesterday?

Example of useful info please.

Since people are talking about me...

All is done with good intentions guys, I have a full time job and bills like everybody else, just threw some thoughts on different topics, couldnt care less what my count post it, its like my xbox achievements, i play more snes and dreamcast than xbox to care

I can stick to the new stuff, really not a big deal guys

Since you have so much to talk about... Maybe you should chat with the guys on IRC!!! I hear it's a ball over there!

Well personally for me, some recent modifications to my Wii had me looking up A LOT of info and most answers I found were old posts on forums that I'm not even a member of

I think he was asking for examples within BradTemple87's posts that a googler would find useful.

Also, I do the same thing.

There are other people here that posted way too much when they joined in order to get their post count high. They eventually settled down after a couple months and a couple thousand post. Pretty stupid if you ask me.

Welcome to the site, post in the introduction thread when you get a chance.

Nothing wrong in posting in old threads, just blitzing can be a little annoying to some. Have fun searching and answering questions, but also take your time and enjoy the site. To be honest there is a lot of good info in old threads and is worthy of being bumped. From what you have typed I can see you are a big Xenogears fan, haven't played mine yet because I have quite a large backlog.

I just got annoyed because I got on here to check on some threads I'd been following and everything had been pushed off the first page by old stuff. . . old stuff which had been pushed back because the majority of members had run out of things to say on the topic.

Anyway, let's all give bradtemple a nice, big, andy's room welcome.

ohhh, yeah. okay. I don't know. i actually haven't read any of his posts. i'm not sticking up for anyone, hahaha i don't care.

but Mod Man has plenty of useful information, and I still think answering old questions should be encouraged. it doesn't just help that one person at that moment in time but many others in the future

Took care of that, and I do love that game. I was just sad that the production got cut on the 2nd disc like most of the people who played it. Enjoy the game, the battle system is excellent. The story can get pretty long winded though.

+1.. I thought about posting something like this, but like I said I don't mind someone bumping old topics.. Also, I'm lazy!!!
