    I think the underlying problem is that N00bs are not READING the other threads before they post. They just see a hot topic on ESPN, et al and post willy nilly. As evidence, here are the post counts of the thread starters of the wave of Jeff Van Gumby threads that were duplicates and thus, locked.

    18, 1, 1, 6, 2, 12, 18

    These are numbers when I saw them, so the 2, 6, and 18's were probably LOWER when they originally posted them.

    I don't think it is a big deal to start a thread that is already open somewhere else on the board, but if it is on the FIRST PAGE, and the title is not some mysterious twist like

    Gumby comes to town

    the title is

    JEFF VAN GUNDY HIRED AS NEW ROCKETS COACH!!!!

    there is really NO excuse.

    To resolve this issue, I think I should start a great deal of poll threads. What do you think? With enough polling, any problem can be solved.

    Poll, Poll Poll, Poll Poll Poll, and Poll Poll Poll Poll (?) is still the poll thread standard that other poll threads are held to.:D

    That's good to know. I'd expect nothing less.

    I think people just want to save money...but I also think we can solve the problem better if we can just sit down to a World tour or something and then I'll shoot some nice, juicy squirrel and field process it on the spot and throw the meat on the fire...We will have a good eat and things wil be better...

    So ROXRAN, you think maybe a poll having to do with juicy squirrels will help?

    I just wanted to say that the Yao or Hakeem Thread is the worst thread I have ever seen on this bbs. I am totally speechless about the garbage that is being spread in that thread...

    I can't believe that thing has turned into a 10 pager...

    I like the "Brand should sign the MLE!" thread the bestest. I'm gonna start a "Kobe should sign for the minimum!" thread to display my ignorance for all the world to see. What? He's under contract? Well, I'm sure LA would GLADLY trade him for MoT and Moochie. What? He wants HOW MUCH money? I'm sure he'll realize that Houston is a fantabulous city to live in and that the Rockets are so TOTALLY on the way up. He'll definitely come here for the minimum then. If not, he should die of gonorrhea and rot in hell, too.

    I think LHutz should hold a posting seminar for n00bs. We also definitely need more polls on squirrels, shooting squirrels, eating squirrels, and pictures of squirrels with bongs in their mouth.

    The threads in the Rocket forums are silly and redundant.




    Now, if you will excuse me I'm going to go start a realgm.com 9 team 73 player trade thread.

    THREAD ACCEPTED
