I agree with you. It was a bit of tongue in cheek comment.

Playing devil's advocate, IMHO, I'd put some sort of statute of limitations on the search. I mean, if I have a topic I'd like to post and I think it's interesting enough that it deserves its own thread, and I do a search to find out someone posted it back in 2005, am I to assume we can never talk about said subject forever and ever amen?

I'd probably add an addendum to say do a search to make sure it's not a current trending thread or one that was posted within the last six months or so. Plenty of new members are added in three years time if the forum is interesting enough, and new members are more than likely going to discuss things that some of us long time members have already discussed in the past.

It's just a thought though. A forum that's new user friendly is one that will thrive.
