Do We Need Anymore "Waiting" Threads?

My goodness. There sure are a lot of "Waiting" threads on this forum.

"Waiting for 27" Quad to SHIP thread"
"The Waiting to Ship 27 inch i5 Quads Only Thread"
"Waiting for Quad Core 27" iMac - Australia"
"Waiting for 27" Quad from RESELLERS"
"Waiting for 27" Quad to hit Apple stores thread"
"Are the quad-core iMacs in stock at your local Apple Store?"

With the rate it's going, can I start a "Waiting for 27" i7 with 8GB of RAM and Wired Keyboard to come in stock in Kansas" thread?

It's almost out of control! (especially the duplicate threads)

I agree... I enjoyed the big waiting for quads thread. The rest are kind of crazy. They should all be consolidated.
 
But are we going to be able to start the 'Waiting for 27" i5 to appear in UK refurb store' as an individual one before they are consolidated? 😛
 
Sorry mods -- I apologize for posting this in the wrong section.

Is there any way for you to "tidy up" the multiple duplicate threads in the iMac forum on folks waiting for the new iMacs? There's already a large thread going -- can they all be merged into that one?

Thanks,
Bryan

Mohan, that made me laugh, out loud, as in laugh in real life.

Also, FYI it's truck #, not "$" and I just saw it got rerouted back to Cupertino, so it's going to be another day.

On a more serious note: these country threads don't bother me too much, until someone posts that I got mine in country A on country B's thread.

One last thing, does anyone know if I can get my student, government and Apple employee friend discounts on top of the 25% for Black Friday, I really would like to pay 4% of the cost of an iMac for one. I'm glad we have an Official Black Friday thread, in addition to the two new ones we get daily.

We can try... as with all other new product launches, also please remember that it won't last forever. You can also temporarily block a forum if you wish to do so via the User CP....
 
1) Waiting for _____
2) Should I buy now or wait?
3) Which hard disk/monitor/mouse/speakers/iPhone case etc. to buy?
4) When will BluRay support be added?
5) Mac OS vs. Windows XP/Vista/7
6) AT&T is _____
7) How do I maximize a window to full screen on Snow Leopard
8) Should I jailbreak?
9) Why do Macs cost so much
10) What are your favorite apps?

As much as wee see these topics over and over and over, if we eliminated the above threads, I'm not sure MacRumors would continue to exist.

Hahaha. Great point. Also, it's a pretty self-correcting process; the threads that "the masses" deem extraneous simply fade into the ether.

Now to find the answer to 7) ...
 
Can someone please stop these "Waiting for... " threads? It's like the plague of the zombies out there. They're everywhere and they multiply fast. Pretty soon there'll be nothing but threads about iMac waiting times from every corner of the planet. People are even posting their tracking details for Christ's sake. It's just really very weird...

Even worse yet, they try to determine which flight their iMac is on when it leaves Alaska. Talk about weird...

The sheer number of "Waiting" threads is astounding and I'm very surprised that the multiple duplication of these threads is allowed.
