My ASEAN Free GPS Map Project

Agreed. I feel that the forum is still new and we can control the flow. As it stands, some threads have run to over 72 pages already and the topic is supposed to be where we download the free map. I noticed that this is a huge problem for newbies to catch up on issues or questions they may have and have to sift through dozens of pages just to find enough information to string together. That being too much of a hassle, they post questions but these may have already been answered in various threads. Part of the problem also comes from us as we 'tumpang' threads to voice questions and deviate from the original topic instead of beginning a new topic.

Can we work together to avoid this?
