Why is the TP2 generating so many posts by new members?

I'm seeing alot of new members in the "Re: Sprints matches Big reds TP2 price!" thread. Myself, I've always referred to ppcgeeks for the latest in ROMs, radio and unlocking help for the Apache and Titan, but I didn't register until recently to inquire about the TP2 pricing (for my other lines, my Titan is set up to do everything I want out of a ppc and I'm very happy with it

).

Curious what the community thinks!

It is generating a ton of interest because it's awesome!

Bang!

I used to post at everythingwm but they didn't have a specific "TP2" forum so now I'm a PPCgeek.

Well I mean new members aren't the issue
but things being asked for a long period of time and no searching can make ppc geeks in general an obtrusive experience

What you speak of is part of a bigger problem these days. People want something immediately, and expect someone to help them, without having done any of the heavy lifting or due diligence. I have much respect for the regulars and contributors, because without them, the platform isn't pushed and advanced.

I was hoping poll choice #2 "Consumers wising up/ tired of paying full price (especially given the state of the economy)" would have garnered a larger percentage of the votes, but it's sort of a flawed poll anyway. For the most part, when individuals seek out a forum based setting, it already shows that they are more informed over your typical consumer (or at least looking for an alternative). cheers to that

tired of paying full price should not relate much to this website...
