I'm not here to take sides, but it always makes me chuckle to see the following two scenarios play out:

1. Person searches the forums and finds a post that relates to his/her problem, finds that post was never resolved and replies with a follow up to it. People immediately flame him/her for "necro'ing" said post.

2. Person doesn't bother to search the forums, posts a topic that has already been discussed ad nauseam. People immediately flame said person for not bothering to search the forums and post to a thread already created.


I especially feel for the "soul shriven" forum members who come here looking for help and get nothing but salt from a community that should pride itself on assisting other members. These forums are not the most user friendly and I find the search function cumbersome (at best!). I feel my blood pressure rise 30 points every time I have to use it, so I tend to be a little more forgiving when I see a post necro'd or a new discussion started on a topic I've replied to ten times in the past six months.

@Octopuss I think you got your answer somewhere in the posts above, but I think enough people petitioned to get the vouchers made account wide/bankable that ZOS finally acquiesced to their demands.
