Lately, it's been like a disease on here. People have been re-creating the same threads over 20 times for the longest. |

And why the hell did you decide to start a new thread about it? Further cluttering of the board. |

Just to get on the people who do it all the time. It gets annoying that people don't take the time to look through the threads before trying to post a new one that mentions the same thing and people like you ignore it. |

Well the thing is, that these two similar threads that you started Detroitrise, have the same title. Usually it is not that apparent when there are two threads with the same subject. You can't expect someone to read through every thread to see if a specific FREEP article has already been posted somewhere else, for example. You just have to kindly copy and past the address for the other thread. |

Actually (as of Sunday Feb. 10) there's still 4 threads under DISCUSS DETROIT (outside of the megathread) that are titled "Christine Beatty". |

The problem with multiple threads on the same topic is that people are too quick to put something on the forum and too lazy to scroll down at least a day or two back to see if the topic has a thread already.
It's not that time consuming to scroll down a day or two and work your way back up to see if a topic you want to comment on has already been discussed. There are times I'll go all the way to the bottom of the site and work my way back up. If I'm not entering one of those threads, then it takes maybe 10 minutes or less to get back to the top. Patience is the key. |

LivernoisY, lol.
You reminded me of Cracker's the Corporate-Crime Fighting Chicken. 'Memba him from TV Nation? Crackers came here to Detroit. I need to find my picture with him...
Oops! I hope no one else has a thread about Crackers. |

I miss TV Nation. That was a fun series. |

YouTube to the rescue! TV Nation Reruns
In this one they hired an actor to move into a quiet neighborhood and try to act like a serial killer just to see how much they could get away with before neighbors called the police: TV Nation - The Serial Killer Next Door.
No one called. |
