I would be, and AM gladly testing my own theories. However there are times when you need help with theories. Times when you can't remeber something and need to ask a group of folks to help. Such as;
1. Was there always a hole in Coltzans Shrine?
2. Does anyone have a list of all the weapons or armor that was sold in Battle Supplies?
Those are the type of questions it might be nice to have answered instead of ignored. I am just using mine as an example, but I have seen questions like this seem passed over time and time again. Instead, I see post after post on extremely off tangent things by the same members. These members also congratulate themselves over and over on these wierd tangents AND say that everyone elses ideas are inane. If you want examples let me know I can give you the post numbers...
Like Jas, I have been here since the first post and have seen ideas, theories and questions come up over and over again. Sometimes a question or theory will get a brief response and not much attention. The same question or theory may come up a few weeks later and become the focus of attention. I could make a page long list of the ones that have been focused on and fizzled out - left unanswered. I'm sure there are many more that were not given much attention and weren't answered simply because the answer is unknown.
I can't speak for the others, but I wouldn't intentionally ignore a question and have been known to pull questions from a previous split to answer them if I saw that noone else did. There may be some that have been missed, but it is probably unintentional. If you see one you think has been ignored, just repeat it or call attention to it in a post of your own, if you don't know the answer. We are all here to help each other out and most of us are
hoping for new ideas and theories... but we are also a little plot weary due to the long "time outs" TNT insists on giving us, and might be suffering a little burnout - so please cut us a little slack.

Yeah, I have to say more often than not an extra nudge will get a response. Sometimes things simply get missed. But to lambaste us all as "flirting teens" is just plain rude and unnecessary (and inaccurate for at least some of us who haven't been teens for years
).
More often than not, I know there are people who are better able to point folks where they need to go than I am. So I leave responses to them. I'm good at hypothesizing (though many people beat me to it) and in some cases testing hypotheses out (if it doesn't get overcome by my impatience
).
In the end, I think one needs to remember that you get more flies with honey [than with a flyswatter], and maybe to take things in the best possible intent (especially if we're strung out by the plot lulls, like now).

In retrospect, folks, I've been thinking this pause with nothing apparent going on in the LDP may have been TNT giving us ample time to map the scrolls. Maybe. Perhaps.
Of course since I mapped mine, this is obviously NOT true.
