I've created several threads about the same topic here at EoFF, but they have been made over a period of many years. My point is, if we left these revived threads open, there wouldn't be as much opportunity to create a new one concerning the same subject at some point in the future. Then, we'd all get bored and run out of ideas for brand new threads, and we'd end up with an overabundance of crap; IE - "Which Greek God/Goddess are you most like?"
At least I think that would happen. Think of it in terms of the real world. If you were having a conversation with a group of friends and then moved onto another topic, you wouldn't suddenly start to talk about the previous subject again in an hours time. Why not? Because nobody would have any clue what you're talking about, they probably wouldn't recall many of the points/observations made in the discussion, and it wouldn't have as much meaning. I like to follow threads all the way through, and if an old thread has been revived with 30+ replies and I haven't been following it, I won't even bother to look at it.
