if you post in an old thread and then it gets closed for being too old, just make a new topic to discuss it. The problem with reviving old threads is suddenly somebody new is quoting and responding to something I said about the topic 15 months ago that I don't even remember saying anymore. Muchg easier to start a new topic and get fresh answers.

alternatively, if you want to post in a topic, and you see it's an old topic, just make a new topic to begin with.
