"Repost" Rangers
New "rule" suggestion -
If you feel the need to call Repost, find and post the link to the original (Staff excluded of course). Especialy in the Lounge. We have a lot of new members that may not have been here, or bothered to read back, 6 months ago.
I personally don't feel it is very welcoming, polite, or appropriate to "scream" repost at some newbies Lounge post unless it'* an obvious repost, inappropriate repost, or if you're going to go through the effort of finding the original.
Suggestion/Rant over.........

What!? And ruin all the fun they've been having with me??
I agree that some new members could be intimidated by that. Fortunately, I'm one who takes it all in stride.
I do agree that if you have the memory of a repost it wouldn't hurt to do the search and include the linky.

I agree with Bill and John. With 2005 being the last year of the Bonneville we need to hold on to all of the members we can.
But then most of the time when someone says repost it is all in good fun.
This is an interesting site and gives an old guy a different look at the younger generation.
