Seriously, the word "newbie" is associated with someone new to whatever the entire forum is about. In EF's case it's "AAS Related Topics". That does NOT mean that a newbie to this form is inexperienced on all the basic elements found on an internet forum.
In EF's case ...you can't really bitch about people starting new threads without searching for an existing thread when the user must buy a Platinum Membership just to be able to perform an intelligent search prior to posting.
It's also hard for someone to make a decision on purchasing a Platinum Membership right from the start without being able to search the website to see if there is information available that is actually worth the membership cost.
It's a catch-22 situation and not necessarily a "Noob Problem". If a noob can't do a historical search ...then expect "Anyone ever do an oral only cycle?" treads to pop up on a daily basis.
