As far as posting just to post goes that is certainly not limited to the resurrection of dormant threads. There are new threads every day that could easily fit into that category.

Well, thankfully, your opinion means squat to me, along with your snarkniness.

To be clear, resurrecting an old thread when you have something to add really isn't the issue. But when I see a couple dozen threads that are appearing as "new" because someone posted, only to find out that the person had nothing to say but "good post," it is annoying.

Then again so are the people who post just to be bitchy, but that's another thread.

I'm just curious on this, since it does seem like a pretty good solution.  The only problem would be you couldn't update the thread if the time had lapsed.  Like if a verdict comes in on a trial that was mentioned in Politics and Religion or somebody did find a solution to the problem that they came here for and six months later wanted to say things were going well.

The 'annoyance' for me is when someone writes out a thoughtful caring reply that obviously took time to do, without realizing that the thread is months or even years old.

Well and the reality is if you have a new thought or event on topic of that thread that's a few months old, and you start a new thread on it, you will get responses indicating hey, we already discussed this. I'm not sure what the harm is in opening up an old thread with new thoughts. I do agree opening up old threads to say "yeah great post" is ridiculous, but then again people new to the boards don't know how the system works, it's not the end of the world.

Status: offline 		What Laurell said. How often does some new person start a new thread when there was a similar discussion half a dozen times already? Back in the day when LA was Links Queen, it was great, she would just nail em with a macro and all would be well.

If a thread comes up and is a few pages old, I really don't look at the date, I just figure I missed it the first time, and if I have something to add, I post.

There's two way to look a thread bumping:

(1) The past is irrelevant and has nothing to offer us today;

(2) Posting on an old thread might meaningfully bring it back to life -- let the readership decide if they want to go there or not.

My thought was, please, please, lets not rehash that anal bleaching stuff again!

My take is: resurrecting an old thread is not a big deal, (and responding to a new-old one is perfectly acceptable), but that's not really what happened here.

Many, many threads on a whole slew of random topics were reborn. I'm assuming the bumping was just to give the newbie a thread count of hundreds in a matter of days or hours (and perhaps in her mind--instant kink-cred). We'll have to see why that's so important to the thread bumper.

I waffle over the thread necro thing. On the one hand, there were some great posters on here years ago, and re-reading their stuff is cool. But what if someone necro'd taptaptap?? Can we AFFORD to lose that much of our lives again??

There is valuable insight in those threads you are advocating they discard... it seems more reasonable that when you are in Rome, you do as the Romans do...
