Through the friendship and trust that this thread has developed is where I would guess 75% of all the news comes from. The Evo thread is 10 days old, and announced???? The Incredible is a non announced Phone and because of this thread we have specs and pics through trust and friendship. I have read every page of this thread. This thread didnt have very many problems till about....well when the first time we got shut down and that was resolved as when news is slow people tend to get off topic. Now for the latest gauntlet that this thread has gone through is an influx of new posters to this thread. If all you want is confirmed news on an unannounced phone good luck. Even before April Fools there have been many fakes. Every phone site is basicly watching US here on this wild wild west thread. If you just want the news that is confirmed or rumer look here HERELet me just say that according to the thanks that are posted under the "keep thread as it is" vs "lets trim out the chit chat", the thinks for "as is" is probabaly 50% higher in votes. Go back and read to confirm if you want. But even if that is the case, what is the purpose here? Is this "Official Incredible" thread meant to be a chat room or a place for people to go for information? I think this forum is broken. I think the people here are fantastic and hugely appreciate all of you, but this is just broken. Literally, there has not been one piece of real news in about a week. Yes, I have had to read through 70 pages to learn that?
Can we just have a thread of news and a page of chat? Surely the admins can see the logic there?
Now for all those that think "screw it, majority rules". lets just think about racial prejeduce for a moment. Does majority rule justify prejeduce? (bad with spelling, so forgive me). When this forum was created, was it created as a chat room or a place to learn and share knowledge? If all the threads continue like this one, This forum will not survive.
When I do web searches, I pick links from reputable web sites. Motley Fool used to be good info, but it changed and is just a bunch of garbage, with only an occaisional nugged of truth. That is what this has turned into. Why aren't moderators scrubbing this? Why haven't they taken the real content and moved it to a separate thread and titled this the "idle chat thread for bored people".
I guess I am getting overly frustrated. Sure, I can just leave. But there aren't any other threads here that post the real news, so I am forced to read through all the chat, just to fine that one interesting bit of news each week.
venting... venting... etc...
I am going to ask teh admins to reconsider where this thread is going. enough is enough. Flame me, crucify whatever. I really don't care. I just want to be able to go to a place that is serious about getting answers.
Take a lesson from the Evo Thread. Takes me 5 min to unravel. Billsmed and Twospirits do a fabulous job of keeping more on track.
Finally, even I have posted useless blather here. for that I apologize. Most of the times I have, it has been out of annoyance that there is nothing to read about the Incredible.
Sorry for this being long. I just feel like those that are expressing this concern are getting burried by other "more popular" posters and kicked to the curb.
I am personally done here and this is my parting post. I am now going to dedicate my time to the Evo, since it is a much better phone and much better managed forum thread.
Again, I think the people here are rock stars, but I want rock music, not a bunch of out of work musicians chatting about what could have been.
I hope you figure it out. Sorry if I upset anyone.
Take care

as this is where all new things are posted. I have some skillz just not new info on phones. But the "friends" I consider here will have access to all my resources first. BTW if no request for friend just means I might have missed something. u can send me one. Also I look at what people "thank"
Just my $.02
Don't, because good things are coming your way, we promise.
