Will these forums become redundant?

[skydog 2]

As I read the forums now it seems that the usual first reply to a question is "do a search".

So my question is simple:

Will the forums become redundant when every question has been answered before?

and if so when?

I predict that at 2215 on October 9th, 2008, all possible questions will have been asked, so HH can just install a bot which can direct all questions to previous answers.

Isn't this a repost?

Every forum that I have ever been on has plenty of redundancy. Usually it is from a new user that hasn't bothered to do a search.

With this sport and the amount of questions it brings for new jumpers, you will see a lot of repeat questions and arguments on here...and it was that way on rec.skydiving as well. It's always only a matter of time before another AAD, RSL, wingloading, etc thread pops up.

Or you can be super tacky and make posts under a different username cause you're a coward and don't want anyone to know it's you.

Baaaawaaaaahaaaa Quade...

The Bonfire isnt, and wont be redundant. As its a place to socialize, it doesnt really matter that issues have been discussed.

As for the topical forums, well, some issues have been beaten to death SEVERAL times... but there will always be new products, techniques, issues to discuss IMO...

Yes. They already have but we don't care! New posters come around all the time so the same questions may be asked but the answers are always new and different.

Ok, here is smart ass answer number two

the probability is given by
The t-distribution, with n degrees of freedom, is given by the equation:

f(t) = [ ((n + 1)/2) (1 + x^2 / n)^(-n/2 - 1/2) ] / [ (n/2) (PI n) ]

So there is your formula to tell you with 95% confidence when the posts will become redundant...

don't ask for a further explanation, cuz, I dislike statistics

Equipment changes......all the time
Techniques change .....all the time
The experience pool grows bigger......all the time
Attitudes change.......sometimes

When I first came to these forums....I had the same questions that many had asked before and yet alot of people are quite prepared to pitch an answer knowing full well a search will 'probably' answer the question.
THAT attitude is what keeps people coming back to the forums....

Nothing wrong with getting the 'latest' views on common questions anyways.....keeps things fresh

They already are. Too many people use them to gain attention. They ask questions that...

a) ...put the spotlight on them.

b) ...they already know the answer to.

c) ...they don't really care how others answer.

d) ...every other person on the planet knows except for them.
