I'm not sure if people are just not searching though the BYOAC site for help or what. It seems like for the past month or so every few days I see questions about "DOS vs Windows?" or "What is the best Frontend" or "Do you use Daphne?" etc etc etc.....maybe it's just too difficult to find what you want on the site. |

I surely hope this isnt going to turn into the usual emu type message boards where they bash people for asking a question. IMOP - Thats what message boards are for. A person usually having a busy life... needs to find an answer quickly, and ask it via a message board. This is not limited to board only... you see it in many professions and everywhere you turn. Sometimes its just more efficient to ask the 'know it all' rather than do some deep searching for that needle in the haystack. Surely this site isnt all that complicated... but as Ive said... its just a matter of time for most. For those who get upset at multiple post of the same Q's... Just dont answer them. No reason to get upset for nothing. Quite simple Imop. |

There is no harm in asking a question again because someone may have a new insight that wasn't covered by the original thread. There are after all only so many questions you can ask about arcade controls. Also, I do find the search function on this board a little hit and miss. I've sometimes had trouble finding my old posts if I search using more than one keyword. And I'm sure a lot of newcomers miss the fact that it defaults to only searching for posts made during the last seven days. |

I personally don't mind seeing the same questions asked again. As time goes on things change. We devise better or different ways of doing things so it doesn't hurt to keep a fresh perspective. I've only been with this board for about 6 months but I've seen several situations where someone comes up with a new trick or finds a new product. This changes the way questions get answered so there is some benefit. However, to jump start newbies it might help to assemble an FAQ. |

1) If they didn't, then the board would slow down and stop completely. 2) People wouldn't build things for the community (because they wouldn't know what people are interested in) 3) There wouldn't be anything new (or as much) because there wouldn't be people talking about them.. and last and most important. nobody would ever ever know whats the best frontend in windows is... ;D |
