idea
mods, i have an idea... ive noticed that there are a TON of people who dont know how to post properly when the server crashes, and then we end up with things like quadruple posts that bog the server down even more...
so my idea is:
how about in each thread there is a sticky explaining how to properly post so that these massive multi-posters dont kill the server?
just a thought.

Yeah, the server crash post whoring is really annoying. I've actually seen it spread over pages of a thread.

People just need to do like I do...use the preview button to see if they're post already went up before clicking post again.

but Parra chan, you should knwo most folks dont care to actually see if teh ptopic is alread y posted,
that and the first few posts are probably posted simultaniously, so technically they are probably unique and tied as First Post,

If the servers crashed/crashing parra, you don't want to risk it crashing again by trying to looked at the thread to check do ya?
I just post till it accepts and then if i double post i delete the newest one.

how many people (read: n00bs) will read those stickies?
