I dont disagree with you that starting new topics is a problem on forums. I moderate a few myself. My point is there's a better way to curb that behavior than to come into the thread and [expletive] all over it. I mean you guys DO want traffic to the site, right? You're turning so many newbies away. I do not understand what you are talking about with regards to starting threads. I didn't say anything about curbing that behavior.
