So many threads started

[2nd chance]

Not sure if this goes here??

It occurs to me that every time I see a new thread started seeking information about topics that have been covered in here, either by stickies or general threads, there are still many who don't want to take the time to look up or use the search options we have here. (example-http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/413097-getting-verified.html)
And it seems that they just don't like to take the time to look, am I the only one that when I have a question I try to look it up rather than start a thread about it?? LOL...I know I started a thread to ask this, but I was just curious what you all thought.

It takes time to search this site. Some people may not have that much time so start a thread to get a quicker answer. Also if a person is not familiar with how to use search then the results are frustrating to go through.

I usually search before posting a new thread but I also tend to be a research junkie at times. A lot of people don't use search and on some forums I think it's very annoying but vaping is a very personal thing so I'm glad ECF and other vaping forums don't require searching before asking for help, ect. We all want to find what works for us so the discussions and questions tend to be very nuanced.

Also, Stickies. LOL No one reads stickies

I see it as a good opportunity for the newish members to help newbies out.

I don't know about you, but I can't stand when people post "google is your friend" or "use the search". Just ignore those threads if you don't feel like answering. There's probably nothing on here that hasn't been asked or posted before.
