I for one am glad that threads with similar content get merged together, they get in the way of other usefull threads.
I came on here a couple of weeks ago and there were half a dozen threads in active topics with pr1.2 in the title, not to mention all the extra overclocking threads started because people either cant be bothered or dont know how to do a search,
speaking of which the excuse "the thread is too big, how can i find anything in 3500 posts" is ridiculous, does knowone use the search within thread in thread tools.
I think a tutorial on how to use the forum would be a good idea, if people want to post they must complete the tutorial.
