There have been several attempts to address this in the past and it seems that in every instance they are scorned by other members for the effort. What a shame to lose long time contributors this way. Historically, TC threads were about 80% tiki related and 20% non-tiki related. I know on some days, that seems to have flipped - and that doesn't include the redundant posts. I'm very happy to see the moderators here make a pro-active effort to improve TC and return it to its former glory. Not directed to anyone specifically, but we should all make an effort to reduce the number of redundant and stupid posts. And in many cases, THINK before posting.
