    good morning to all ye good people out there,

    iPod, red in tooth and claw
    By now, everyone with access to on- or offline news media knows the new French law would stop Apple from stopping people doing what they want with music they've paid good money for.

    Enter iTunes and, "The chaps from Silicon Valley have been making a pile of cash selling their iPods off the back of this while the poor music execs have had to cut down on the white powder deliveries by some margin.

    And that thread would be a perfect example of why I don't post here near as much as I once did. You have to read through a dozen or more completely unnecessary posts to get to any of the relevant ones. If I were a newb, I sure as hell wouldn't want to wade through all the bullshit posts to try to find any info....it would take days. It's truly gone beyond rediculous in my opinion.
    And then there's the massive sigs running through the forum despite the sig rules. And it seems that an offensive post report concerning oversized sigs isn't a serious enough offense to warrant any action from moderators. I've tried a few times and gave up when no changes ever occurred. Most are Addicts who should be leading the forum by example, but instead seem to be a part of the bullshit post problem.
    The whole board has gone from an informational site to a giant chat room.

    @zippyd - i hear ya. i always crack down on sigs as i stumble across them. the chatting, yes, i cringe oftentimes when i see threads like that. i make the odd post that could be considered chat within a thread, like the one previous to this reply. However i always bite my tongue instead of constantly replying as that's what drags threads into endless chatting. The ppl doing it know who they are and need to do a 3rd person on a thread, any old thread from say 3 weeks ago or whenever and try to imagine what someone arriving here from a google search or wherever would think.. i know what i think when i google search (sorry dRD i do use your search function sometimes!) and arrive at a chat thread.

    we are gonna have to start being more strict about the chatting as it has gone to embaressing levels now. i know we'll get lots of complaints such as "it's supposed to be fun helping ppl" and i agree, but it always goes too far. My favourite trick if i had a 'fun' comment to make would be to make it (and make it very short), then the rest of that post would be on topic, and wouldn't encourage further replies of an off-topic nature. For now, i would hope the ppl doing it know they're doing it and reading this thread should shame them into ceasing the endless conversations..

    hi

    i think we should dump/delete every post and thread except guides etc so its empty and start fresh...

    get rid of all crap so no need to mod it, and get a couple new mods and off we go again, this time all posts covered governed by the rules all the way...

    the dawn of a new age, after...

    Yes. How else can you join and become an 'Addict' within 6 months of joining?
    Someone explain to me - how does that work?

    Both zippyd and the-OGS have valid arguments. But it seems to me that newbies don't bother looking in the old threads, they just make their own new one. Some are duplicates from different members on exact subject the same day. I can't say I blame them. I just checked the forum page and for the Shrink forum alone there were 8,304 threads and 63,557 posts. How daunting is that. Who's gonna look thru all that when most of us don't get past the second page in a google search. I came here and lurked for 1 year before making a post. I learned most by just reading the active files in shrink and nero. The off topic comments lightened the mood and even when politics got involved it was riotous sometimes. I'm guilty just like the rest now and then but all work and no play is pretty f**king boring. I can get that at work. It's hard enough to keep 500,000 cattle herded much less humans. Just my 2 cents.
