repost repost repost repost!!!!!!
Whats the deal with people saying 're-post' all the time if 'they' have seen something before!!!! Why do they feel the need to let people know that its been posted before and what do they get out of it! 
It must be the most stupid and most pointless thing to post EVER! 
Do these people think that everyone in the world should have seen it before or something!?!?! Come on people, get a grip!!!! 
Sorry but it really gets on my tits!

It's because people like to point out they have seen something before, as it makes them feel "bigger and better" than the person posting the video, picture or whatnot, in the vein of "I'm better than you cos I have already seen this and you haven't, you fucking noob" mindset.....
Pretty damn pathetic really

Watched em, thought they were cool vids, then the next time I saw a thread with the same vids, I didn't watch em.
Pretty simple really.... I even somehow managed to resist posting that I had seen them before. Amazing I know, but somehow, I managed.... I dunno - it's strange. It's somehow so much easier to just hit the back button than click on REPLY TO THREAD, then type out how you've seen it before, and click POST.... Maybe it's just me, I dunno

9 times out of 10 you get a thread called
"wow watch this" or something....
how do you know what it is, or what the video is untill you open the page, click the link, then you realise its the same video youve watched through other reposts of a similar title 6898767 times before!
does my nut!

1) read the replies below. Often a complete giveaway as to the content of the video
2) Even if you DO click the link and instantly realise when the page loads you've seen it, why continue to watch it? Just exit the page, and hit the back button on the thread. No reason to post about how you've seen it before, no reason to bash the poster for not having seen it before...
Christ, how shit would a forum be if no-one dared ask a question in case it had been asked before? And no-one bothered to share links to pics and vids they had been sent or found, incase someone else had done it already.... Be no point to being part of a forum at all!
And anyway, somewhere, someone down the line is gonna click on one of these repost threads and watch a video they haven't seen before - even if a thousand other people already have, and when that happens, even if it's just 1 person - the thread has served it's purpous.....
And if all the above fails and you're STILL "doing your nut" over it - go and get laid. Then reposts will probably be the last thing on your mind
