    Hmmm I noticed the same also. I've posted in a few P&R before they were all moved in mass and the only reason I participated is b/c they started in general chat. As far as a solution for it I dont really have a great one. I just feel maybe these posts shouldn't be moved so hastily to allow time for a few people to notice them. Some of them are just hot topics that should stay in general chat for a bit.

    for the most part when threads are moved there's a 'Moved' announcement in front of it that you can still click on and go right into the thread. I haven't always used it and I apologize for that but I will always do it from here on in. you have to understand though, threads need to be moved because people pleaded for their own forum, now that they have it threads pertaining to issues they would discuss need to go there............

    Someone said it earlier but theres so many useless threads started here that need to be moved to the crap section. Those aren't really topics that can be discussed, or that even have potential, but just random chat.

    Understandable. Guess I'll see how the "moved" announcement thing plays out then.

    Cmon man...you seriously dont think some of these off-the-wall posts shouldnt be moved to another section? Let's see.....I think I remember the thread "I had toast for breakfast". And there were some other ones that just don't make sense. And just out of curiosity you open them only to find out it's exactly about what the title said. IDK...I'm just saying I get tired of filtering out so many useless threads in general. Not as bad as it used to be but still.

    Who really gives a fuck what anyone here has to say? I mean, it's a fucking internet board!
    That said, If you don't give a fuck what I have to say, then ignore it and move on... but bigger than all that, people have kicked your goddamned back in for some of the shit you say, and you of all people have the audacity to ask if I think anyone gives a fuck what I have to say? Deal with your own situation first, before you start worrying about mine...
