    Default Lazy people.

    IMHO , there are too much threads here on the same topics ( squalor, rebels etc )
    People ( ! ), don't be lazy and don't clone already existing threads , use google to find what you need.

    My my someone did get out of bed on the wrong side this morning ....
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    That's only half the rule, digging up a month old topic is bad too. IMO if it's not in the first 2 to 3 pages it needs a new topic. Plus I don't read every topic if it's been overstated or doesnt look interesting I don't click it.

    So don't click it no matter how tempting it is

    Don't we have a sticky thread that's filled with links to all the useful threads?

    I'm to lazy to check, I I thought the Org did.

    *edit*

    Just checked, and the colloseum doesn't have one. Still doesn't excuse people from jumping into Ludas Magna or another forum, perhaps it's the name or something...

    I doubt it would change anything if we directed them to another forum via sticky or something, new people would still post questions here. Its not like other boards are free from this problem.

    I would agree with Oaty. If it's not on the first few pages then its too old to be talked about, and a new thread should be started (plus it would take too much effort to trawl through every single thread in the forum's history seeing if it's similar to one you want to start ).

    Chill out Ilia

    The Colosseum seems to have died out a bit, so for me doesn`t it really matter that much, and I can`t see that many double threads either.

    In truth I was exaggerating, but sometimes it does happen. And like I said, it's best not to dwell on things like this because it happens everywhere so let it.

    People like me who have just joined the org don't know about all the facilities available here. The org is just too big. It isn't easy to find the topic you want to know about in a search. Plus there may be new people more than willing to indulge in the discussion of topics which were discussed long ago.
    Yes, the first discussion is usually better than the later ones, but most people don't like searching a lot for what they want. Sometimes I have already read about the topics about which I want to have a discussion, but I may be unsatisfied with that and want more in-depth knowledge or simply want to know what most of the others think about it. In that case I guess that I am justified in posting a new thread.
    I don't visit Ludus Magna often because I find it somewhat intimidating for a relative newcomer like me. But I visit the RTW guides section frequently and urge all newcomers to give it a good, hard look. I found it very useful.
