I'm also not sure how your excitement about a possible event overshadows the fact that there are hundreds of these threads in existence. Or are you saying that your excitement level supersedes everyone elses, and therefore you deserve your own thread to bring nothing new to the discussion?

1st off. i havent seen this particular article Anywhere on this site...my apoligies if this is a duplicate thread

2nd. this is a FOURM! DUHHH your going to get a few threads on the same topic

3rd. if you are annoyed by thread topic...how bout you try this thing called not clicking/reading it. your post brought nothing to the discussion FYI. I was just trying to share some information that i thought was new and see if there was any legitamcy behind it.
 
530 threads have "Verizon" in the title, almost half of them in the last 12 months, so no, I don't think "hundreds" is that much of an exaggeration. Also that's titled verizon threads, that jumps to almost 1000 (sorry, that's actually 95K threads, 1000+ pages if you go into the discussions as well). Are 500-100K threads on a verizon phone necessary? How about all the ones that are from a friend of a friend of a friends mom who you used to sleep with confirming a verizon phone? Seriously, all the people who couldn't figure out that their phone only had one speaker got their own sticky, what about these poor verizon bastards?

It's also pretty ironic that you have this as your sig

Before making a new post, is it possible someone has already posted on the subject? Please search first., which was actually pretty helpful in getting those numbers.

I agree on a sticky. HoFo has one thread stickied and all Verizon iPhone discussion stays in that thread.

And why is my sig ironic? I haven't started any of these threads.

so whats the general consensus on macrumors? that it'll look exactly the same except thicker? i mean, its appearance has to be a bit different if the accessory websites made a own section for it right?

Well, it was more that if anyone bothered to look they'd see the (literally) hundreds of posts on the topic. You asked if my "hundreds" number was an exaggeration; clearly it wasn't. If I kept posting on my broken speaker, people would shut the thread down of move it to a sticky. Why are Verizon threads any different? It's not so much that the OP is posting about a Verizon phone, it's that, as has been discussed, there are many, many identical threads on here. Multiple wallpaper threads get merged, others are stickied, and others are shut down. I agree, I did come here to read the posts, it's just when you have, again, hundreds of threads on the same topic it clogs the boards and makes it harder to find "legitimate" answers to your questions. I may be being snarky, but I just don't understand why a new thread needs to be started if you're not bringing anything new to the discussion; post a reply to one of the numerous threads that are already in existence.
 
One could easily argue that new accessories is something new to add to the conversation. I believe this is why the mods don't merge the threads and why, in the past, they have merged many others.

If the subject is different enough, it seems they don't.

But I'm not a mod, I can't answer for them. Perhaps you need to raise your issues with them instead?

Oh, and I just wanted to see if you'd count them...and you did! ;)

Holy hell, man.
Whatever credibility you might have had on page 1 went out the window with your grammar and spell check on page 2.

Gecko, need more Domo.
 
LOL, you don't like the sexiness? I was trying to compete w/ rdowns.

This picture looses a little something in being sized down...

Its alright. It reminds me of Pink Floyd. Which is good I guess.
Is rdowns the one with the panties?

You crazy kids and your tasteful avatars.

Frankly, I was as shocked as you were; I'm usually much lazier than that :)
