Have noticed an increase of posts on old threads

[Mrs P]

Have noticed an increase of old threads being bumped, and some members pointing out how old the thread is, of course we always want new threads created, but please keep in mind that when members use google or any other search engine and the searches come back to an old Ology thread members (usually new ones) will register & reply to the threads. Some old threads are very informative & we can all benefit from that, let's be supportive, specially of the new members, if u have something constructive to contribute please do so.

Thank you for that. I know I was going through my ritual of looking at the trending posts and formulated a well thought-out reply--then I noticed I was replying to a 10 year old post. I felt like an illiterate ass...

I just find it odd almost all of them, if not all, are from the year 2004 only.

I have noticed the 2004 time warp. I didn't really look into it, but I assumed someone clicked on the "oldest to newest" button and started replying. Not even sure if it can be done....

And necroed by the same member.

It's usually pretty clear when someone is trying to get more information from an obscure subject, so they bump an older thread - but there have been a few times where it's a specific person bumping old threads with one-line comments completely irrelevant to the topic. Either way, as long as questions are answered I'm happy.
