Well you may as well just use the old thread instead of creating a "dupe", because if you're going to create a new one then the old should get locked to prevent confusion and conflict having duplicates of the same thread. Basicly in my opinion you may as well just skip all of that and just use the old thread and bump it up.
I believe everyone including me uses the term "dupe" wrong also, as it means a post that has been made mulitiple times due to a internet hiccup or page reload.
I also agree with your blog fully though, I just have personal thoughts and own reasoning that I have learned while using the BB's if that makes any sense. Lol
Don't argue with idiots because they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
Admins sometimes don't do their job. They're like, swearing is allowed here. EXCUSE ME, no. That's an example. Zoey and Chris are very responsable admins.
If anyone takes this seriously, I've found a new job. (Miiverse story thing)
