Thread: Why revive threads anyway?

  1. #1

    Default Why revive threads anyway?

    Why is it that people occasionally revive old threads that are on like the 20th page of a forum? Who reads through that many pages of threads? And for a more universal topic, how deep into a forum such as General Chat do you go?

    I stick to the first page, mostly. If it's not on the first page, it's not worth my time anyway.

    Default I GO AS DEEP AS I GO INTO THE JUNGLE.

    I have the urge to revive some of NANNY MANUS and Levian's threads along with some other people I dun wish to reveal.

    I normally read until a thread catches my attention, if that means it's on the 20th page, then I read through all of them.

    Bfff! Nothing at all in General is ever going to be worth your time.

    I only stick to new posts because new stuff is active, and activity is what makes forums interesting. Not stiff, lifeless junk from halfway down the first page.

    Feel free to look in the Archives, or as I like to call them the Zanarkand Ruins. Lots of classic things ^_^

    yeah I used to do that when I was younger, I'd be inactive forever and come back and see something that was so old and post to it. I just figured since I wasn't there to post on it before, then why not now.
