So, let's say a thread started by... HOOTERS got revived. This will likely confuse several members thinking he got unbanned and started posting, but when they open the "new" thread, they find out it's a revived thread. So they got excited over nothing. That's another reason why reviving old threads is bad.
"omg whos HOOTERS? Was he here before? Is this a threat from the CK's or something? Im scared and confused!"
