I've pissed some people off.

So recently i dredged up two threads from the deapths of 05/07... i think.. i dunno, they were old.

These threads showed up while i was searching for particular items.

Someone gave me negative rating points ( lol, im -22 atm) for the bumping which leads me to this question poll.

Which is better?

i got a red today for a post i did on 24 june 2006

And now for a serious answer:

It depends if your post added value to the old thread, or if you just posted because you thought it was an interesting subject.

ouch i vow to not do that again tonight.

-23? Fark, you better have a bit of green to balance it out.

Personally I think this is one of those things were the anally minded was foolish.

Either way, what's the odds. If the previous thread has germain matter, extend it in the light of new knowledge. Otherwise start a new thread.

Simply BUMPing a thread for the hell of it will invoke the ire of the mod's.

Actually adding to a thread "should be" different, but you might still invoke the ire of the mod's.

Either way, what of it? If it adds new value then we are all the better for it. If it be but because he thought it interesting, why should he not be entitled to an opinion. Where in the rules does it say "Speak now, or forever hold your peace" ?

It's not even as if anything on the site COULD be very old. For Heaven's sakes, it's not even been running ten years yet. Even the oldest thread is less than that, a microsm of time. What really is the difference between commenting on a post two days after it was posted, and commenting two years after it was posted?

Do you realise how hard it was to have a serious thought for me tonight? And i vowed to not have another one so I won't respond by agreeing and accepting i may have mis-worded.

And I won't say that my intention was to differentiate between adding value or upping ones post count.

bum pooh farty pants.

the 'bebo thread' post was a bit pathetic, but i see ixion posted just after you, so of course he will defend you!

I agree on that one. I didn't realise it was old till after

**Ixion** · 28th May 2008, 20:47

Bebo thread ?

EDIT: Oh, I see. I didn't notice the year , just saw June and assumed it was this month. Or maybe I thought this year was 2007, one loses track after a while.
