Being a n00b here, I'll try not to preach. I have had my wrist slapped for not using the search function once... once.
I agree that there are MANY of the same old posts everyday here. If I see another " My Rosie won't eat " post I'm going to scream ! I come here to learn. I have found that AB is governed my a drastic law of diminishing returns. I see the same questions ALL THE TIME. In fact, even worse, many posts degrade into a chat room about nothing.
IMO the main problem are the hobbist themselves. VERY young people are attracted to this hobby, and many immature adults ( insert <edit> here ) People that have no intension of adding anything to a conversation but just like to post to feel oddly significant.
That being said, How do we solve this problem ? The only thing that comes to mind for me is having a room like the " watering hole " Where you either have to be a paid member or a high rank of post ( or invitation for that matter ) for " Expert Questons and Discussions " The n00bs can read them, but they can't post or add threads...
