Too Overcrowded!!

Posted by Ryan2828 on August 5, 2005, at 7:01:03

Due to the massive people on the internet and Google (which puts Drbob at the top) this site is way overcrowded, I used to get replies to my threads and now I hardly see any, what is the deal with the current situation, its all for themselves now!! just look at answers to questions they asked and not help anybody.

 

had to change name :(

That's an interesting question, whether fewer questions are getting answered now. But see also:

Dr. Bob, I've noticed the same thing. I think one of the problems is that at least on PBabble the same questions are asked again and again. That's because in my opinion only, new people join the site and are unaware of Threads that have delt with their problems. Effexor is the one that stands out in my mind. Maybe you could direct them to those Threads. I often suggest it myself when I know it's been delt with before. Fondly, Phillipa

Good point!

I try to do that on the Newby boards and suggest they look for an existing thread to join that it seems revelant to their question.

I think you should take this site off the Google search engine for a while. Lets remember billions and billions have internet now! and if you search you usually get Dr.Bob near the top, some people think they are the only ones using the Internet, but billions billions and trillions are searching google.

I think it's great when posters direct others to information that's already been posted. I think some people find it easier to ask than to search...
