The Thing is though, He's right.

People don't search for a thread, that shares their opinion or idea. They just repost the same idea, "My weapon system got nerfed, now I suck, Counter nerf Y so X can be better etc." So as a result, instead of having one good logical thread, you have many smaller threads with semi-strong arguments all over the place. This makes sorting them even harder, and is why PGI asked for more volunteer Forum moderators.

How many friends can you name, who know how to post the Textlogs of Mechwarrior when it crashes? My guess is 0

People don't read the posting rules, and conduct, they just Rant, instead of thinking of the reason and summary of why PGI did X

By the way....what is K town?

People can't argue these days... emotional arguments Everywhere.

This is very naive of how internet forums work.

It's not like you preserve the discussion when you have a 200 page long thread. All pages between 2 and 199 inclusive become dead information. And what does it matter if someone wants to frame their ideas (many of which ARE completely unique, contrary to your suggestion) in the OP so that they can begin a discussion with a specific bent? Are you one of those people who thinks that General Discussion should be limited to haikus and urbanmech threads?

Roadbeer has lots of legitimate points in his post, but the new thread gripe is CATEGORICALLY NOT ONE OF THEM.

ROFL... are you just trying to bump your own thread or are you looking for a flame war?

Assuming you are literate, you can read what I wrote. Stop looking for a fight.

[Timuroslav]

So, your response to someone's thread is to make a new thread?
Sounds like Spam Noobzorz

youre feeding a troll, looking to argue with said troll (IE looking for a fight) bumping his thread accusing him of bumping his own thread and looking for a fight

Trollception!

Here's the thing:

I don't do this. At time of writing, I have posted 825 posts and 16 topics.

If even I think this complaint is colossally r*****ed, then what does that say about it?

You don't know me, so I'll help you out. Anyone who's read my postings knows that I take each post on it's merit. If it's a good post, even if I don't agree, I'll give it the measure it deserves. If it isn't...

Well, I'm a self-identified troll. I've been known to troll IGP, PGI, Developers, Mods, Staff, Volunteer Staff and posters like you. The only people I don't troll are those with less than 20 posts (By that point, you should know your way around the forums).

So, if you haven't been paying attention, I'm FAR from a White Knight.

Ah, you are mistaken. I'm not looking for a fight. Any response to my post would effectively prove my point.

Oh hey, the guy responded, proving my point correct. He can, in fact, read, and was just fishing for an argument. Mischief managed!

This thread is creating just the polarizing content PGI is looking for.

It's less about #'s of post as much of Content.
The Original Poster was observing a lack of content awareness, I agree with this after browsing the MWO forums for a healthy argument. I agree with the Lack of User forum Content awareness.

btw Not to attack you or anythign but
any good number of those posts could have been made or ramped up in the Meme Thread

I'm not doubting the contribution in arguments; I'm doubting the FOCUS of the content
