The way I personally see it is if the new post adds value to the existing thread (or if the original poster of thread is announcing an update to an asset, program, or similar) then it's not normally an issue to me.

Or do what other forums do and lock threads which are over a certain time since last posted to, unless the OP requests otherwise (perhaps).
Most of the time it seems to be newbs or kids who perhaps don't know better, the worst being a response to a 4 or 5 year dead thread proclaiming something is being developed which pretty obviously didn't make it beyond the drawing board!
I disagree ... If there is a 5 y/o thread, and someone has some important pertinent questions, or highly related input ... what harm does bumping an old thread really do ? Sometimes an old thread is very refreshing.

It doesn't waste bandwidth, or anything else detrimental to the forum ... unless someone bumps an old thread, to ask a lamebrained question, or to post: "Yo I really like this" ... "Where can I git' Anl's locos" ? Use your best judgement before posting. Sometimes an old thread is very refreshing.

The thread listing shows the original date of each thread. If old threads don't interest you then don't open them.I get so tired of people making new posts in old, many times dead threads here in the forums.
amigacooke;1555793...Any thread that cannot sustain interest will sink from sight regardless of whether it's been resurrected or not. Why discourage posters?[/QUOTE said:Agreed, and why spend time (= money) on forum changes when that money could be better spent on new TANE developments ?
