I say, before every THREAD that is made, it asks if you have serchbarred, and gives you a searchbar to type in to search the forum your in ( SG, NSG, BST ) Then you just have to click Yes, and you can make your thread.

Might help a little bit, at least it would remind the new members to search.  I think what happens is that the total repost threads get totally ignored or flamed, and those kids probably don't use NS much anymore.

it should require you to search if you have been on here less than a year not just ask you if you did

no, because then it's really annoying to everyone else. and it shouldn't be based on x number of days/months/years on ns, because people who have been on for a couple years still make mistakes...

this.

speaking for myself, i'm not the greatest park skier and haven't been a member on NS for long but whenever i create a thread (which is not often), i always searchbar before. what i wanna say is that it always depends on individuals if they searchbar or not, and it doesn't depend on that x number of days or anything like that

it would be sweet to have a popup that says "searchbar mother f@#$%!" before it lets you post a thread...just like the mousepad

my problem with the search bar and reposts is if you post something people knew about eons ago, but they named it something like "this kid is stupid", you won't find wow freakout 1.

for example. lol
