Oh yes, many times. I think the amount of responses has a lot to do with what time you actually post and not neccesarily the topic of your post. I have even had a post deleted, which had over 70 replies (for I thought breaking guidelines)and there is another post almost exactley the same as mine that has been allowed to stay.....go figure, I think Mylot seems to make the rules up as they go along at times.

I don't want to think that they stole it, maybe they just have the same thing in mind. But sometimes I do think that they just change the question a little bit so as to make them look cool as if they really started their new thread. Anyway I just want to enjoy this community and be mature enough to handle situatio such as these. In a day the question " Do you believe in God" appears probably more than 5 times daily, but I wouldn't bother to worry about that. But thanks for noticing about the multiple threads that are being posted over and over again.

that's true, I have started some that was like others in some way, and I didn't know that there was some like it already out. But some of them are so close that it's hard to believe that the people made them up. Thanks for responding.

I don't think the reason is that they've seen someone else's post and copied it, there are so many people here that the threads get lost. Also, I'm sure if others are having the same problem, but I find the search option quite unhelpful at times, it seems to search the tags people have submitted rather than the thread title, so if people put in tags that are only partially relevant, when another searches it brings up a stack of threads nothing like what they are considering posting.
