    don't we do that already?

    Personally I think it is a silly idea. far better to have 500 threads with 2 posts - WITH SENSIBLE TITLES - rather than 1 thread with 250 questions and no chance of finding the answer you need.

    Sensible titles? Wish that we could eliminate the word HELP followed by umpteen exclamation points!

    I agree (as is usually the case) with Dave. Unfortunately the sensible titles issue is a tough nut to crack, given that there are a great many OPs without the prerequisite jargon to pigeon hole their issues. We have enough threads (non-recreational) which stretch out to ungodly numbers of posts, as we try to draw out the information needed to help resolve an issue. At least with the regular posts there is a prayer of successfully searching for tags, without having to browse through a nearly endless loop.
    What if we just consolidate all of the forums, and threads into one thread? Sorry, the devil made me say that.
    Volume and repetition do not validate opinions forged in the absence of thought.

    I think certain words like HELP, for instance, should not be allowed in a thread title. Didn't we just have a thread with that word all by itself for the title?

    I think the titles should have a very brief explanation of the question, and followed by a tag that shows what kind of thread it is like:

    ex:

    [Suggestion] Why not do this?
    [Help] Do this in Autocad?
    [Solution] How to create this thing on Autocad
    [FAQ] Blocks
