Since the dawn of the fora there have been one thread after another that discuss the exact same thing. Luckily there is one button that could end this: The Search Button *Heroic music*.
However. For as long as The Search Button *Heroic music* has been there so has peoples refusal to use it, so thread after thread someone has been forced to point out the existence of The Search Button *Heroic music*

This is a thread dedicated to those people. So I ask of you all: Share with us the witty and clever ways you yourself, or someone you've seen have pointed out the existence of The Search Button *Heroic music*

There are no witty or "cleaver" ways to point out the search bar, because those comments are overused, and seems to be commonly done by sycophants with little tact.

Also, I think you could of used the Search Bar [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.126349], yourself. (Yeah, I know, I know.)

Found that one and I apologize for my formulation, what this thread is supposed to be about is not whether or not you're pointing it out to people, but how you point it out. And call me optimistic but I believe people have hinted to it in a lot of subtle ways which in some cases can be regarded as witty on/or clever, funny even.

Sorry about the confusion. And thanks for the welcomes :)

Nagging about 'z0mg srch bra u moronzzz lulz' is never good, unless you say it in a matter where you are right about exactly the same topic being done before AND still answer the topic. Rather than disregarding it because there was a topic about something vaguely like it three years ago...

I find this thread ironic, because I seem to remember something similar to this awhile ago.

OT- I like to post a list of links to similar threads, but I almost never report, unless it is a repeat thread AND is about Halo, HL2, or any combination of those two.

The best I've seen was in a thread about pickup lines: "Hey baby, do you know how to use the search bar?" or something like that. Credit to whoever posted that.

Breaking into the offenders home and write "USE THE SEARCH BAR" in their pet's blood. If they don't have a pet, I always have a lamb handy.

Haha, I can't believe I did that, thank you for pointing it out though. This really isn't my day xD

Or I can come up with a bad excuse for what a cleaver remark is. Everything needs more cleavers.. Right?

....I'm stunned. Normally pointing out peoples spelling errors results in blood baths. For everyone. This is.... bizzare....

yeah, the elusive search bar.
it has stopped me from asking hundreds of my dumb questions. which in turn has prevented dozens of people from having to tell me about the search bar.

Search Bar people annoy me. Sometimes threads SHOULD be repeated. Not everyone sees every thread ever.

also true, but if it's a question you should always search first.
example; i found a great article, i believe it was called 'omg thar is no girls on teh intrawebs' by searching to see if anyone had asked the question, 'why do girls not tell you if they think you're attractive?'
fun topics like 'best level design on a game' or 'poll: who hates twilight?' should be repeated regularly so that people can reconsider what games they liked, thinking critically about why; and remind us all about the impact of twilight on the nerdy community.

Oddly enough people flame me more for posting this pic when I do a thread o_O
