Resurrecting Threads: New Accounts, Please Read

[Bridge]

It's okay to resurrect a thread, so long as it is on topic. It IS usually done by newer accounts because I assume they have google searched the topic and, wanting to respond to the thread they discovered, made an account to post. Another idea is they have gone on the profile of someone and checked out their created threads or posts, read it, then feel the need to respond.

Resurrecting isn't a big deal, as long as you are on topic. It IS strange to see someone revive a conversation months or even years later, but it's better than them making a new topic and using unnecessary space.

It's not really a problem but it is strange to see people like UnseenLegend ( NL ) necro threads from 2006 with confusing posts that contribute nothing to the topic at hand. It kind of disrupts the forum's balance to have really old threads promptly and uselessly resurrected, IMO.
