Increase of utterly stupid questions/posts!
Is it just me who's noticing the rise of posts and questions that are plainly silly or by folks who are just too lazy to search the forum or the Internet for the simple answers?
The reason I point this out is that it drags the content quality of the forum down. My intention is not to upset any individual and therefore no names need be mentioned. Nonetheless, I'll be putting on my flame suite.

I thought it was just me thinking that... You are absolutely right! Thank you!

That Inter-Google thing is something really fascinating. You ask something and you get lots of answers! Really worth a try!

Does it really bother you that much? This is an open community that should welcome newer folks that are excited and buying and or modding their p-car. While I agree that etiquette dictates that they search first, sometimes people forget to do it. In most cases, there are plenty of folks that remind the OP to perform a search. For most of us, annoyances like this are insignificant compared to the challenges of life.

But if you are able to register on a forum like this, than you certainly are able to do a google search or a forum search before posting.
Just as an example, without wanting to insult anyone:
Topics like "does anyone have a picture of an amaranth red 991" are a bit ridiculous IMO, allthough I try to stay friendly and help people, but at the same time giving them a little humoristic hint of the ridiculousness of the topic. Typ that same question in google and you get lots of pictures...
People are sometimes just to lazy IMO!

Don't get me wrong... I like to help people or give an opinion about whatever it is. But sometimes that kind of topics do not add any value to the forum itself and just make it a bit messy and confusing IMO. You get lots of topics with the same subjects, while it's better and more orderly if you can find the information you want in just one topic about a subject.

couldn't be more clear. Just one result after your search. Exactly what I was talking about.... That makes it all much more orderly Suzy991
