    Do you search before posting?

    Please vote.

    This isn't aimed at anyone, just thought I could get some replies on the matter.

    Even though I'm a long-standing member with memcached installed sometimes I really don't search and I think I'll get a better answer if I just ask.
    Not for the sake of posts though.
    Thanks

    It doesn't give you a tracking cookie nor display ads, yes.

    I usually use google to do all my searches by using the "site:" paramter. And I rarely use the forum's bult-in search due to fact that it's slow compared to google, i have to wait 30 sec or so be able to search again and the results are not always accurate. However, I always search before opening a thread. I don't open threads for popularity, posts count or other ways to "clutter" the forum.
    Thanks

    Not just on this site but on almost all the forums the moderators have problem with re-posts and repetitive questions...

    The following comments are just too funny to read...Sometimes they lead to inside jokes...

    I'll be honest...I do a lot of searching first but if the search results are too many I'll ask...

    And there are lot of people who are ready to help...Anywhere...
    Thanks

    I think you should add a new option:No, I use the ask anon button

    Just saying...
    What does a scene tracker tell to a general tracker?
    You're so 5 minutes ago...



    Thanks

    It's the first thing acutally to do when you need to find something , the second task is to ask in the forum somewhere :)
    Thanks

    I always try to use search before posting. However, it is not working very well for me. I am not sure if don't know to use it properly or some improvements can be done here.
    Here is an example. I do search for a word demunoid. The search results show one thread that has 186 pages. Am I suppose to go through all 186 pages to see what the forum has about demunoid?
    Thanks
