What should a new member do to join in the conversation?
If your like me then you have heard almost every conversation/topic that can be thought of about Fable or TLC and even Fable 2.
A good bulk of these have taken place over a month ago. So what is a new member to do in this situation.
- Bump the old thread
- Create a new tread of a similar topic
- Read through the entire site before posting
- Bugger off we only need five active members.
- Sit quietly an don't say anything.
Obviously (I hope) the last three were tongue in cheek and the real options are the first two.
On the flip side
If a new person wants to discuss a topic that we projectego veterans have discussed to death, what should we do in response
- If they bump the old thread leave them be unless we have something we can add
- If they create a new thread direct them to post in the old thread.
- If they create a new thread post links to the old thread for more insight
- If they create a new thread repost our own post from the old thread.
There have been more than a few occasions when I knew there had been a thread on the subject and I either could find it (Or more likely don't bother looking
)
Now if they bump an old thread with a spam comment (Off topic/Does not add value to the discussion) I can see informing them of the Anti-Spamming Rules and perhaps how they are considerably more annoying when put in old threads.
I don't want this to become a place where all that is discussed is old ideas but I think there needs to be a better way for new members to join in the Fabley discussion
Todd 
) is that they should just post a new thread. Well just either put in a link to the old thread or repost some the better posts from it 
or say something that's been said a hundred times if they'd only bothered to check the search function... I mean, we already know that there's going to be a dog, and no, we don't know when the release date is, and yes, we all know Todd smells funny...
