General Opinion about threads that have been done before...

Every time I start a thread somewhere I worry if it has already been covered (and assume it has) so I apologise. And start the thread (because I want it to be fresh and not tacked on to the end of a huge thread, and stuff…)

In my latest thread I am fed up of apologising so I type

Which, afterwards, I thought might piss at least some people off. So I decided to start this thread to A: apologise for that and B: ask if it actually bothers people if someone starts a ‘done’ thread again.

The thread I started was Weird things you believed as a kid.. I am sure that topic has been done before. And I will have a look for one, but It was something I had just thought about and went a head and posted before I thought about looking to see if it had been done before.

Unless it’s something uniquely personal to me, I usually do a search to see if it’s been done at least in the last few months. A thread like the one you mention, my general rule of thumb is if there’s been a similar one within the last two or three months, bump that one, and if it’s older or really really long, start a new one.

Almost all of the threads i’ve started since I became a member have been done before. I usually research the previous threads, post any comments/questions to my thread.

I wonder if there are any threads that HAVE NOT been done before on the SD Forums.
