GAF, can we talk about googling instead of posting a thread? #1

Lately, I feel like half the threads I see could actually be resolved by the OP googling the question they ask in the thread. Why does everyone feel like they should just post whatever shit they think of as a new topic on gaf? That would not fly back in gaf's earlier year.

Because they want insight from Gaffers? Discussion?

OP should google 'discussion' instead of posting a thread.

|OT| as far as the eye can see is much preferable, right? With 5 posts for the OP, with meticulous graphics and page layout.


|OT| thread of stuff
Witty |OT| thread title of Serious Bidness
|OT12| of lengthy important discussion
Official Thread |OT| of obscure art

The specific threads are also escaping me at the moment, but I know exactly what you mean. It's one of the things I love about GAF.

Recently? This isn't something new. It's been happening forever.

People are not good with computers or googling or find answers.

Personally, me using Google is like my grandmother using the remote control to the TV.

I don't really know what I'm doing, and I don't seem to get results that people who swear by Google seem to.

But surely, even if the universe was static and infinite, most of the stars would just be too far away to see, so the sky would still be mostly dark?
