This is literally two pages back, on page 563, if your default settings are 20 posts per page. But that wasn't my point.
When people really want to know something, they ask the question sincerely, without any negative premise. Something like "Hey guys, this game hasn't been updated in a while, what's going on here, any news?" It will not be any trouble to answer these questions without any “snarkiness,” even if this question has been asked several times the last month alone. As you correctly noted, not everyone has time to read the thread; maybe it just might be inconvenient, for example, a person is on the move and reading on a small phone screen, but wants to know the news.
Or this endless stream of the same questions about "can NTR be avoided" even though Ocean has answered this question several times. The search function here is a bitch and many people aren't familiar with it or don't even know it exists. And that post with the dev's answer is in my bookmarks, so there is no problem sending the link to a person who is really interested in the game. For many people it is very important whether NTR in the game is forced or not, and I understand this perfectly well. But when a person asks a question from the position of an NTR (or anti-NTR) inquisitor, I cannot read this as anything other than an invitation to an argument.
The same goes for “abandoned questions.” Seriously? Doesn't every abandoned game on this site have a wonderful "abandoned" tag next to the title of the game's thread? Did anyone manage to post a message but couldn't read the thread title? Sorry, but I don't buy it. Okay, there are still plenty of games here that are updated so rarely that they could easily be mistaken for abandoned. But then don’t be lazy to spend a few minutes and read a couple of pages of the game thread. In 95% of cases you will understand perfectly what the current status of the game is.
You (I don’t mean you specifically here, but I’m speaking in general) of course have every right to say "piss off, I'll ask what I want, in the form that I like best, who are you to tell me what to write?" Totally fine, but than I also reserve the right to comment on what I want and to choose the undertone I like without feeling like a jerk
A day ago, some guy asked exactly the same question in the BaDIK thread and received: “Yeah, it is abandoned, now get the fuck outta here.” But we don’t do it in this thread, because we are people of culture
P.S. Sorry for such a long-ass post over something so minor.
