In the old Miscellaneous forum there were many copies. But how does this matter? I can bet that 30% - 40% of the old Miscellaneous we're copies. Because of that we had to make a NEW Miscellaneous forum. This has been done so many times it even has a name, "The Copy n' Paste effect"!
The Copy 'n Paste effect
So here's what happens; first a new thread is made. One person takes an interest in the newly made thread and "gets" permission to make another one. As everyone starts to see this they think it's okay for them to make a copy! The old thread gets drowned but the copies are still there!
