has anybody ever discussed this before? i'm finding it kinda annoying that people don't tell a coder or iconer that they're hiring what they're doing in the post.

e.g.
im looking for a coder for my new game, its a sci fi game and i'll pay u a fiver

before i get involved, i want to know what the game is aboot

am i being too fussy?

People are overly worried over others possibly stealing their ideas. So they opt with keeping the project a secret from all who are not associated with the project.

Of course, such an ideology could possibly hurt your ability of attracting talent. Fortunately, you can simply toss a person a page and ask for more information. If they refuse to provide you with any, move on.

Darn, my archrival replied before me!

I find it annoying you can't reply to ads anymore.

You're not the only one.
You can, it just goes to their pager, is the idea. If this hasn't been working out as planned, that would be a bug, and could do with being reported as so.
