Default Hitler Posting

Yes I am aware that before I start, my Hitler post is probably a Hitler post.

However for all you lot who keep putting this after most threads start, how about get a life? Sorry but you do realise that you have clicked on a post that you already knew existed, just to reply to tell everyone that you have seen this before. Isn’t that a little sad?

This forum has been going for a long time and a lot of original/long serving members is still on here. Yet because of the popularity of the bike there is a hell of a lot of regular new members.

So what if someone see's something that they haven’t seen before and decides to post it? Do you really want them to use the search function to check everything before they decide to post? If you have nothing to say on the subject then don’t bother. Simple really. Half of the stuff posted on here I haven’t seen before and It's quite interesting.

Also regarding the search function... There are a lot of recurring subjects such as GSXR front end conversions, ninja shocks etc etc but you know what? Some people don’t realise there is a search function, especially if they are noobies! So why post a reply that doesn’t help anyone? Just point them in the right direction and tell them that it been covered before, tell them about the search function or if it’s a subject of your expertise, tell them the info they are after.
Or just don’t bother typing anything if you are just going to ridicule them for not knowing how the more intricate parts of the forum work.

Sorry to come across as a bit ranty, as it’s just not who I am. But I’m sick of reading a post I’m interested in and half way through, it being derailed!

I agree.

I'm not a long serving member of this forum, but I flick in and out quite regularly. It would probably just be easier for those that reply with helpless rubbish not to type at all. Those that are interested in whatever subject that has been 'Hitlered' can talk all they like.

It is not compulsory to read every thread, or click every link and you hardly miss precious moments of your life by seeing (sometimes) a selection of interesting photograph's/bike's/story's again? Broadband speeds arn't like old school dial up, so you don't have to wait around to find out what you already know.

In 'real life', if you overhear another conversation about something you've already discussed or heard yourself, you don't interrupt them and call off the whole thing just because you've already stored the info, do you?

What he said +1


I don't get the chance to read every post, and it really doesn't bother me if I see a similar one a few days later!

Live and let live

True but it's funny when people get confused/annoyed by it

It is a little boring when people keep posting the same things over and over

Then dont read them, dont click the thread, just ignore it and leave it be.

The hitler stuff is starting to get annoying now, but I'm taking my own advice and ignoring it

Yeah it may be boring if you have read it before. But they may not have seen it before? Just dont reply, or look at it in the first place if you realise you have seen it before?
