I would quote the previous posts but I have a feeling it would start to get silly
Yep you're probably right about reading at least a few pages back before you post, I tend to do it anyway to prevent me looking like an idiot (the edit button is also my friend).
It's the reason I've given up on the neobards for plot relatedness, I just get fed up of the million people (ok, maybe a slight exaggeration) saying "lyke PNG!!1!" and then saying something completely obviously unrelated. And it wasn't just one board either, it was like every idiot who saw a mention of something would make a board on it without reading the several pages of posts which pointed out the board maker was wrong.
(Side note: At least the letters on the beach theory can be forgiven because the boat is at least
on mystery island but some of the ones suggested for the altador plot were ludicrous. I still haven't fathomed how anyone could connect a random parrot on mystery island that has been there for aeons with a mini plot happening through a portal in faerieland.)
And don't even get me started with those who post without reading through the very thing they're posting about, like the fake "altador plot is finished" news post. I mean seriously, the number of boards about it and it was like "and read three paragraphs below... there you go"
*deep breath*
Sorry for my nini rant, I'm a firm believer in actually having something useful to add to a discussion when posting.
