Honestly do we need to do this?

**GroundZero3** · July 17th, 2003, 07:49 PM

okay this has been a gripe of mine for a bit of time. people bringing up dead threads from a year to two years ago

i understand we have new members coming in and reading threads but is there any reason why they need to put there .02 into the thread that no one has read in a while?

(tired from a reel big fish concert and exams

)

Sometimes it bothers me.. I just randomly read a thread today and was like "I remember something about this thread" and I looked at the date and was like "WTH" lol

are some examples, and plus these threads go up in the recent areas section and take away from important threads

I don't think I've ever really read old posts just for fun.Sure makes ya feel stupid to reply to a really old thread from someone you haven't seen in a year with how ya been......DOH!

Look at the date is all I can say

whats the difference if its one of those old threads or this one

But I do agree just bumping an old thread for no reason is a bit ridiculous...Gait_Keeper shame shame quite spamming those old threads to raise your p/c

rich i was giving examples of the recent threads that seem to awake from the dead

I personally dont see a problem with it, nor do I care.

Never understood the whole forum manners/rank thing anywhow. Post count means dink to me, anyone can run it up.

If someone wants to comment on something that happened 2 years ago, who am I to tell them that they can't/shouldn't.

One of the things I do like about here is that there isnt too much post count elitisim going around. Other places are much worse.

I agree with GZ. Please let the old threads die. They don't need to bumped. If you want to read them go ahead, but please, don't bump them back to the top of the forum where they take up space.

you just got done bumping them all

and I mean them all not just one or two

and yes GZ i know those are just examples but like i said what difference does it make if those threads keep getting bumped and bump new threads out the recent box or if this one does.

I'm not even sure why this is in the suggestion box

don't mind me i'm a lil grumpy today but come on

I agree w/ GZ also. I had one of my posts bumped yesterday and all that was said was... "good question" That's a buncha garbage. I get an email saying someone has replied to my thread, so I go looking for an answer and that's all that's there. It's one of the main old post bumpers spoken of here. Kinda annoying.
