Silly newbie misconception...
« on: April 27, 2009, 12:44:35 PM »

So before I learned how the moving of posts works, I noticed a ton of posts by Bob Wessner that looked like they were always getting moved and locked.  I thought to myself, man that guy seems to have been here a long arse time and he still puts nearly every post in a crazy wrong place, he must be nuts!!!

Heh, turns out he was MOVING them, not posting them.

Usually after some member notes they are in the wrong forum and reports it. A common one is someone posting a question in the Tips and Tricks. From what I can tell, they are "looking" for a Tip or Trick to solve their dilemma. In reality, that forum is collect Tips and Tricks proven to work.

Well good ole' Bob doesn't have "old timer" above his avatar for nothing!  He always had delusions of grandeur when he was younger, so we let him keep thinking he's in charge.  He's (mostly) harmless though  ;D
