Thank you

I saw a few posts recently locked down with this statement from the admin... what gives?

So we are encouraged to use the "search" feature, but when we find something that we feel the urge to respond to we should not if the post is over 3 months old?

If someone shows an interest in our post that is 3 months old, they should stat a new post and link it to our fabulous post rather than respond to it?

to me this seems a bit harsh, and for what purpose? to create more and more posts? to jam up the servers? to make it seem like there are thousands of topics being discussed?
I just don't get it, im not trying to stir the pot, I just don't see why an admin should care about the start date of a topic and actually lock it up because its old.

The reason being, at least as I see it, putzes do not fucking READ the dates and begin replying to ancient (in net world time) posts by people that don't even come around anymore and it gets stupid and confusing as hell. Like trying to argue with a dead person.

Status: offline 		Thank you sweetheart for clarifying this up for me, I was also puzzled at the dedicate ?= etiquette.. Just shows if people pronounced words properly they are more likely to spell them properly too and avoid confusion..

Why would you feel the need to respond to something that is already over?

If the topic is important to you, start again... a lot of those older posts can answer questions for many, however, sometimes those questions are not answered by ancient history and need fresh perspective on how it relates to the new OP.

YMMV

I really don't see a six month gap as ancient history, and reactivating a thread allows people to see previous replies on that topic.

Status: offline 		I'm too lazy to look at the dates of posts. If someone responds to an old post and I want to respond then I do so. I admit though that when I post on here it's not really to help anyone or to be helpful in some way..it's simply because I have nothing better to do or I don't feel like doing what I should be doing instead...pure entertainment value.

While that scenario happens some of the time, it isn't all of the time. I responded to a thread started quite a while ago. I knew the date of the thread before I "resurrected" it. The thread topic had to do with a preference and why individuals had that preference. It was very simple and was a thread I felt could be picked up and continued at any time. I can understand some threads that might involve time sensitive subjects or those related to the OP or posters who are no longer participating on collarchat/collarme, but not all threads are like that. So it seems overkill to me to say "oh no, you can never ever ever resurrect any thread older than a specified date."
