Splitting up corns

Kel said:
Hopefully youngsters wouldn't notice it. I had a pair of 16 year olds that I separated at 14 years, in a vain attempt to stop the female laying. All that happened was that they both went off their food and wouldn't settle until they were put back together. Now that the female has died, the male is showing signs of stress again.

That's really interesting. I've never heard of that happening. Did you ever have problems with early pregnancy?

Posts that are 8 months old and on page 8 do not need to be brought back up to the top again, that's what.

This logic is the reason why there are always 100 threads with the same, redundant information on most message boards....


Besides occasionally swinging by here to pick up info on my corns, I also mod on a scuba related forum. Not only do we encourage adding to, and updating, already established threads, we are forever stitching related ones together. It makes it much easier to find and quickly read the information you are looking for.

No, my logic is sound. The reason there are 100 threads on the same subject is because people cannot be bothered to use a search feature.

Again, that's what the search feature and FAQ's are for.

No- That's "another" reaon there are 100 threads. By your logic (or lack thereof), if a subject hasn't been actively discussed in a while, no one is ever allowed to bring it up again. Fizox was asking a specific follow up question that wasn't answered in the original thread. The search feature has nothing to do with it, and I for one, would be interested to see if Kel responds....

LoL. This is funny. If a thread has not had a post made in 8 months, and it's as simple as 'housing 2 corns together', then no, it does not need to be brought back up again whether or not someone has a new question.

That's really interesting. I've never heard of that happening. Did you ever have problems with early pregnancy?

That was the 'new' post after 8 months of this thread being dead. Are you telling me that the search feature could not have been used to answer this question?

There is ZERO point in rehashing old posts to either comment on the original topic of the post, or to ask a question regarding the thread. Most rehashed posts have similar topics that are very easy to find with the search feature. Once the FAQ's are up, hopefully people wont post as many questions regarding the same 5 topics.

Again, i'm missing the point of responding to threads that have been dead for many months, or years, just to comment.
 
I'm going to have to agree with Scotty here...

What do you recommend, making a new post? Hmm....

This very statement is proving Scotty's point

This question was a valid one and is specific to that person only. How do you recommend he use the search function in order to answer a follow up question? Doesn't make sense Joe. As I said before, quick to jump you are.

LOL- I tried typing Forrest's specific question relating to Kel's snake into the search engine but didn't find anything...

Then feel free to refrain from commenting or participating in threads that hold no interest for you. Problem solved!
 
I agree with Scotty and Daniel on this, also. I also agree that SOME old posts do not need to be brought back up months later (i.e. - sale ads), but other ones are OK to add to. Why can't a thread have additional information added, Joe? It makes it easier for people to find the information they are seeking...all in one thread. It is good to have FAQ pages, but they aren't the "be all and end all" for gathering information.
 
Sorry guys, I just don't agree with you on this.

Forrest is new to the forums, which evident by his 11 posts. Chances are he did not even know that the post was 8 months old.

While his question might have been specific to one poster, that question has been answered numerous times by others.

Furthermore, do any of you know the last time 'Kel' posted? I do: 1-15-05. He hasn't posted in over 4 months. So, I suppose Forrest will be waiting quite a while for Kel to come and answer his 'specific question to only one poster'.

The phrase 'early pregnancy' returned all of these results in a search:
http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17224&highlight=early+pregnancy
http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20773&highlight=early+pregnancy

13 results came up, and there are numerous other threads that discuss the problems of housing two snakes together.

Like I said, sorry, but there's no way you're going to convince me that the right thing to do is post on a thread that is almost a year old, when there have been plenty of threads since then, a few on page one, that discuss similar issues.
 
Joe...not everyone HAS to agree with you! Quit giving people a hard time just because YOU think they shouldn't post. All of the arguements like this are getting OLD!

Terri, I never said anyone had to agree with me. I don't think I'm giving anyone a hard time, I'm debating an issue that pertains to the board---I don't see what's wrong with that.

I simply quoted what Forrest said, and said 'uh, you know this post is 8 months old". I was asked 'so what?', and explained my feelings on the matter. I do not understand what the big issue is about it. Some people feel that bringing up old threads is okay, I personally don't see the point. However, I don't think it's wrong to discuss why.
 
Joe...it just gets VERY old having EVERY subject debated. We are NOT in a debate club. Just give it a rest already. Not every issue is worthy of debating...or arguing about. It has become quite a common occurance for threads that you post in to become "war" threads. I personally am tired of that.
