Relax.
Its not that the post doesnt belong in the General Forum, is that he posted a similar thread on the hardware forum
http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=58690Its not a rule of posting, its more of an netiquette thing.
Its only one BBS, the is no reason to post similar threads on two forums. Believe it or not, each one of these threads cost HTC money. Only a few cents, but add up all the unnecessary posts in a year, and thats a substantial amount of money.
Also, theres the confusion. People make a reply on one of the threads, but not in the other, and two different threads spring up from the same message.
Also, there is a limited amount of thread displayed on a single page. Every time you make a new thread, another one is bumped from the main page, thus it loses priority, and that discussion dies. Its called board spamming.
