So what am I supposed to do to find out what somebody discussed TWO MONTHS ago, huh?
Look through ALL of the topics, and ALL of the replies to those topics over the last several months to find out if noone has posted the information I want to discuss? It could be way inside one of the many topics and it would be too much to have to look through all of that. Seems like taking more time than I have available.
I suggest instead some system in the PGC Forums where a cross-thread function will inform which topics have already been discussed! In this way it would be very easy to avoid repeating old topics, for I do not do that out of ill will at all. I simply have no way of knowing in a fair way what has been discussed in so many topics, do I? So stop cursing me, it is not my fault!
Would be nice to see some sort of information field or automatic system which could help people to keep track of what was previously already discussed. This could be done by some sort of programme which kept track of all topics entered and keywords of the topics discussed in all of same. Then once a user entered a new topic, with the aid of said programme, the PGC Forum system would automatically deny the entry of any topic which had a specific title or keywords in it that the programme had already "seen" (to abundance) previously. This would help especially new members and make the Forum overall more attractive and to the point discussion wise.
If at all possible to implement, this would help a great deal. People can´t sit and go though so many topics to find out if something was previously discussed in order to avoid posting it again. If I am away from the Forums for, say, 5 days or longer, There is suddenly many new topics which have already been discussed. Do I have the time already to go though all of these in orderto avoid posting something in them again? I don´t always! Would require that every Forum member was on the Forum every day, to keep up with all the topics and the replies so to avoid saying again what someone in the accumulated topics and replies has already said.
And if you thik this is idiotic, I will just give up alltogether explaining it. I am trying to avoid posting the same things even though it may not seem like it. For instance the topic here I just posted: I have NO way of knowing it was posted two months ago. I could not find a topical headline which said it was, when I looked. And to look INSIDE each topic and at ALL of the replies to it to find one specific place where somebody posted a link to the website which I linked to in this topic is too much to ask! Such a link to said website could be anywhere in thesea of replies!! Too time consuming. That is not how I see fun in being in a Nintendo Forum!
