That question deserves an answer. I've never been too thrilled with the policy, but I remember it being explained enough somewhere that I was satisfied. I'll try to find it for you, or maybe another staff member can recite it.

More or less. Good typing helps too.

Del, I wouldn't mind reviving this because I realy wanted to post in it. My scanner was broken and I finaly fixed it.

Edit: So, basicly if I want to post my hand I should make a THIRD topic about it instead of just using the old one? I dunno...that doesn't make sense to me.

[Dingo Jellybean]

I never really mind if someone brings back an old topic. It actually saves server space to bring up an old topic rather than make a new redundant one.

I never hold it against anyone if they bring back a topic that's even a year old, I never understood why people would get so angry about that. Oh well.

Threads would never die if we allowed that. There would be hundreds of ongoing topics in GC. My head would explode before Unne's did. I say close them and that's what I'm going to do.

Also, why the heck are people looking at the twentieth page of General Chat?

[Citizen Bleys]

I've discovered a wonderful little solution to this problem. Now it's a little unorthodox, but I assure you I've tried it, and it works.

It's called not giving a rat's floppy tonker. If you don't care, it won't bother you.

[Del Murder]

I think you meant to post in the 'Getting Involved' thread, 'Mark'.

[Lon611]

hey!i type well, just because i say because "bcuz" doesn't mean ppl (people) can't understand me. gramatically, if you can understand a person verbally, nothing's wrong. then again, we ARE typing. so i apologize. but still, u shouldn't be put down cuz ur manorisms r different than some1 else's. nex post, it's all slang typing!!!lol

True. Just because some people find the notion of typing with their feet or noses amusing, doesn't mean we should think any less of them!

[Lon611]

ok, dats it, im sik of ppl mokin how i type.from now on, im slang typing. if ppl don't undastand da way i type, den 2 bad *gets kikd by staf memba*. i do find typin wit my feet ratha amusin, if i du say so myself. ne1 wan me 2 teach u da ways of slang typing. it's easy:don't think, or be stuk up, lol. i jus kno i made a lot of enemies wit dis post, but i honestly don't find pikin on sum1 very amusin.

[Calliope]

I think people who revive the old topics don't realize that it is a bad idea.

I think Amanda will be able to vouch for my notoriety when it comes to reviving old threads, and I seriously don't think it's such a bad idea.

A lot of the time I'll read a thread and it won't apply to me, or I'll have nothing interesting to say in it, and if that thread still happens to be around months later and I can post something tangible in it, why not?

If you don't want people to revive threads, get staff to close/delete them more frequently. There's enough people here.

[Meat Puppet]

If they have something interesting to say on the topic, why not let them? If they're going to revive it with a smilie yeah, that's bad; but I'm sure there is some situation where they're bored, and reading all the pasts posts and see a thread they like and say "Dang, I wish I was here when that topic was made!" And, to save everyone from re-typing their posts, they save you work by bringing that thread right back.

[Lon611]

can a "hot" thread be deleted?i don't think it should since it;s so popular, even if it does get outta hand, just due to the fact that its so large, theres a lotta valuable opinions in there. i apologize about my last post, it was in anger...forgiveness is the attribute of the strong, remember?

[Del Murder]

Those threads don't get deleted, they just get closed. People can still view them.
