You've apparently been here 2 months. Get back to me in 2 years to see if 1. you're even still on here or 2. if you've been driven crazy with the repetitive posts. It's one of the main reasons I've started disappearing from this forum for weeks or months at a time.
And just in case you want to get on to me about this post, be aware that I've helped many people on this forum doing all the work for them in searching and whatever else on many occasions. I'm not heartless. I just believe people should use their brains. (I know, what a crazy thought that is!)

i like to be non confrontational but i gotta say the "search first" comment is so old. yes everyone (mostly) knows you can search forums. if everyone searched forums before posting, there would be no posts. the forum would contain the original 100 or so posts and then everyone would just search those for what they need. and then there would be no posts for you to bitch about.
like it or not, people like asking questions, people like giving opinions, and people like to bitch about the first two.
i bet if i had searched, i would have found a post just like this telling people to quit bitching about posting redundant questions.

OMG this is awesome. I was looking for a thread just like this and luckily when I put "bitc41ng about search" in the search bar, this thread popped up. How awesome is that?
Actually I ride the fence on this. I dont think i have ever said "search for it" but i may be mistaken. While I agree some take the "search first" comment overboard, there are times some people ask question on a specific thread that has been asked earlier on. Probably the most famous is the tire fitment one. I mean really, how many times must PAWPAW write that 305/55-20 fit a stock 4x4 with no level on a stock rim. I think he's up to four...... Gotta take each question differently and if your gonna post in a thread, read from the beginning.

You've apparently been here 2 months. Get back to me in 2 years to see if 1. you're even still on here or 2. if you've been driven crazy with the repetitive posts. It's one of the main reasons I've started disappearing from this forum for weeks or months at a time.

I kno instead of getting mad and leaving the site because you see some words that make a thread that can get you mad / annoying, consider anger management or a different place to observe and be better than that. Honestly how bad can a truck forum get you mad to leave for months. Hopefully you were bangin ur significant other and let out your rage of novice forum posters that don't kno the rules like you do after years of reading stuff you already kno. Get a life , hobby, sport, or something.
I'm tired of ppl saying try the search button. I've tried it a million times on my iphone and my microsoft computer. It doesn't work.
I've been a loyal fan of this forum and have bought max tow mirrors off another member of this site. I love this site but I can't wait till ford comes out with another model so we can all together as forum friends ban together as one and be mutual friends. Against a common friend / enemy.

good to see you have been on that long and helping people. nice to know. don't really care you have been here two years. just because i have been here two months doesn't make me new to forums. just means i am new to this one. it is on every forum. people want to get your response to their issue regardless if it has been hashed over 1000 times. yes i get the search function and i use it, just don't tell me to search. they figured out how to get on here and sign up. most likely they know how to search too
