Why are we not allowed to create a thread when someone else made it a long time ago. I mean it is almost impossible to see if someone has made one already. Ive tried using the search function but over 70 pages of results come back

Creating a thread that has been created multiple times is what gets it locked.
It is not held against you when it is locked, we just like to keep things organized more.

I just also want to say, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Zenny and I have gotten really good at the Search function, lol.

Also, when a new thread is created with stuff that has been already discussed to death, some of us kinda cringe with boredom. So we tend to either not participate in the new threads or just repeat what we've already said. But sometimes fresh ideas in older topics can be a lot of fun, especially since JKR keeps providing us with new information in interviews. Smile
