the fourums are becoming cluttered with closed topics and things that have been answered several times such as the locked ir3 modes, i think these posts should just be deleted or moved into another forum made for numerous posts about one thing. just my opinion.

The Classifieds, i believe could be deleted. but the search function needs to be useds, i dont think anyone uses it. IMO

Th mods and admins do try to keep the forums cleaned out. As far as the classifieds, I know that once the item is sold/trade or is no longer available, they lock then delete them, although this only works if someone states that the item is sold/traded or no longer available.

As far as the repeditive posts in the other forums, well, yes people need to learn to search for the information first. Perhaps they can add a warning page that you would see when you click the 'New Topic' button, before you get to actually create a thread, saying "Please Use the Search Function prior to asking a new question to see if its been answered before" type of message. But anyone that has been around tech support and/or message forums can tell you, this type of stuff will always happen, no matter what. Someone will always ask a question that already has been answered somewhere (and in an easy to find location no doubt), just one of those unwritten rules of the Net.

At least with the threads getting locked, they'll fade away quickly.

We do try to clean things up as often as possible. The reason the "Recycle Bin" was created was for all these closed topics, and I know that I'm guilty of not moving something sometimes.

One day almost everything will be answered until new generations on angels come out, then the board will be almost dead.
