What's it take, maybe four or five seconds to open a thread and look at the OP date? You're not losing out on a large amount of time or anything. And the threads that do get dredged up don't typically stick around at the top for any length of time. They might get one or two replies the majority of the time and then they fall back into the depths. And then, if it does receive a decent amount of replies, then that's because a discussion has arisen, and isn't discussion what these boards are for in the first place? I really don't see why it's a big deal.

for some topcs a new thred will do but reviving an old one is better IMO. no need to make another thread when we allready have one with info in it. many times the date on teh thread really does nto make a difference

temporarily ban those who are doing it for laughs. there are some great technical posts on this forum that some people may need clarification on and would have to "bump" the old thread up to have it answered. sure beats the hell out of 20 of the same thread coming up and being answered over and over, though that seems to be inevitable.

ok you are getting way out of hand with this, if it needs to be done once and a while that is ok, but you are abusing the system and you are going to ruin the way that our community of technical information operates. you are pissing everyone off and they are all going to jump on this autolocking bandwagon. relax please for all of us including yourself

maybe temporary bans are in order to stop this problem, but i still stand by my statement that autolocking technical threads will severely hamper the communities ability to function - for technical sections at least

nothing wrong with those. its often times interesting to see outcomes to things posted a logn time ago and get updates on things.


its the lounge, its ment for random topics, there is nothign wrong with revisiting old topics to get updates and spur new discussion on the same topic.

I agree, I see nothing wrong with it. I think those that get pissed about it might need some more real problems in their lives

Who has gotten pissed? It was a suggestion that the owner of the site liked. But hey, thanks for helping drive home the point that it is needed with your recent shennanigans

The bottom line that has been proven clearly in this thread is that people shouldn't bump old threads for no relevant reason. Doing it just to be an *** or thinking it is "funny" or just to prove a point is very uncool and simply shouldn't be done.

this is what i posted in another thread in the lounge. it was sort of in response to one of dangalla's posts.
