old-ass thread resurrections

[NoCage]

I'm usually away from the forum days at a time. The "view new posts" option is my friend. Lately, several new posts have resurrected some really old original threads. In some, the most recent post is 6 months or even a year after the previous post. I think I'm looking at a current topic, only to finally look at the dates and realize it's history. I'm not really pissed, it's just slightly annoying... and wastes a little time. No big deal... just something I've noticed. Thanks.

It would be helpful if in the main view of new posts the original post date was included.

It's a down-side to resurrecting a slug of old threads. I'm asking folks to exercise some reasonable judgement, pay attention to the last date of a thread, and don't bump old stuff because they think it's funny or "interesting" but outdated.

I think this is a shorter term phenomenon and will subside.

Guilty as charged... :black eye:

With my current task at hand, I am reading EVERY post in every thread from the Post Pool and moving them to the proper forum. And in this forum it is read-only until they are put back. And There are only a couple so far that i felt was worth reviving . oster_oops:

I will not do this anymore.

Some of the "Northern" folks are probably spending more time on the board because they are out of riding season.

Some subject matter is just too good to let fade away, like the auto-retracting kickstand topic.

That one always gets people riled up :lol: .
