The search feature does work fine, provided you DO use it. My point is that people are generally lazy. I added a comment to another thread yesterday relating to cartoons. When i found the picture the first thing i did was search the word 'cartoon' and then added my post to the thread that arose that was most relevant. It wasn't exact, but it was close enough and bumped an old one at the same time.

Another thread was just posted (i'm not going to point it/them out) that 'I' believe really didn't need to be. There are several other threads on the same topic it could have been added to which would have bumped an older, existing thread, exposing it to newbies and most likely would still receive replies that the OP is looking for. All these new posts just clutter up the entire site.

It was pointed out a while ago by someone when an old thread had been bumped, which i had never seen, that just about every thing you can think of has been covered here on TC before. Besides current events, bars opening, artwork/shows, etc. i'm pretty sure that that statement would be very accurate. If you use the search feature properly and took the time to read through old posts, you'd most likely come across the answer you are looking for. Again, either laziness or people just feeding their OWN egos by receiving replies to a question THEY asked as opposed to doing some furthur study.

P.S. And LUKI, i wasn't aware of how TC is programmed. I know how to rant here, buy mugs of eBay, and search for porn :D, but that's about the extent of my computer knowledge.
