I am actually curious to know what was the biggest topic of discussion here at Webmasterworld BEFORE Google became the biggest thing. Microsoft Windows software bugs?
Altavista
Sometimes I find it suprising the way all of us keep an eye on Google.
Really? I'm not surprised - google supply 80% of the webs search results!
Did this place exist BG (Before Google)?

AV was certainly the hot topic in the "other place". I was not here in the early days, but i think that by the time i got here WebmasterWorld was the first place to really see that Google was going to be big, even though it was a relative newcomer at that time.
Yup. Could be cut down a bit if some members took the time and effort to read current threads about a given topic instead of dragging on their own soap box.
Duplicate threads are a real pain in the Google forum, especially about updates. It is hard to manage for admins, mods and all members alike. Too much noise for the signal. This laziness/ignorance is getting on a lot of people's nerves (mine included, does it show? :) ).
Also, some members will post anything in the Google forum. I guess they have yet to discover the rest of the board.
>>- The number of Google forums
I believe we need another Google forum. It has been suggested many times here : New to Google.
Google news forum should be restricted to members who passed some kind of basic test...
...otherwise, we are running in circle. Sad to see.
Let me rephrase :
Posting in Google news forum should be restricted to members who passed some kind of basic test...
I would leave it read only for all members who did not yet pass the test.
