I don't think I've ever started a thread in these forums before but here is my moan for today.

Please stop replying to dead threads!

Seems like I've been reading a lot of threads lately that have been resurrected from the graveyard by someone who thinks replying to a thread that has long since past into the depths of the forum's servers and hasn't seen the light of day for a couple of years is a good idea.

I just got sucked into a post about Behringer and their "tubes" from the main forum page. When I went back to the start of the thread the first post was in 2007 and the last post was in October 2007. Someone, today, thought it would be a good to post a reply to that last post.

Where the hell do these people find these threads and why do they think that replying to something 3 and a half years old is useful?
