Another forum I frequent has a stickied READ THIS FIRST/FAQ post that very explicitly recommends that new members use the search function because chances are their question has been addressed before. The question is-- what's worse? A handful of gazillion-pages-long threads that get resurrected frequently, or a gazillion new posts every week on topics that've been discussed multiple times? Seems to me that the latter makes it harder to keep up with new threads on new topics.

Not that I wanna come across as a cranky nit-picker, but I'm just sayin'...

I personally don't use the search feature on any of the forums I belong too. I would rather start a thread which happens on a rare occasion, and drum up new ideas and comments from new members that might not have been posted in the previous dinosaur threads. Additionally, I believe there is a common misconception that a new forum member is also a new rider.
