What happened to all the forum activity/traffic? Lurkers get in here.

Maybe it's just my perception of recent times, but some newer members ask questions without searching (researching) the forums for previous posts that could answer the questions. When old topics get re-hashed, the guys who used to be helpful, get weary of telling the basics over and over. If you are new, read, read, and then read more to see if your questions on break-in, or glow plugs, or fuel %, have been reviewed in old posts. Archived data is valuable...I feel that some of the most valuable resources on the board have gotten away from answering questions because the info is already out there...

i agree totally...but
im not new to the site but 90% of my questions arent answered in searches. sometimes i like to ask you guys questions to see what you've done or what you think works best. reading through past threads can get pretty time consuming and boring. sometimes its just quicker to throw down a "quick question" thread. Its also nicer (when there isnt smarta$$ remarks) to talk to some1. case in point, i had some question bout my eight buggy the other day and some1 replied with really useful tips and even threw down a link that helped me even more. so, how hard is it, REALLY, to trpe a one-liner saying, "check this thread", or, "check this link out"....does it really make you that, "weary"?
