My favorite kind of thread resurrection is when some guy asks, in 2009, how to use some piece of equipment. He's in a hurry because it's an important gig. And then the answer comes, in 2012: "turn the big knob to the left, hth" as if the poor fool has been frozen in time for three years waiting for the answer.
haha.

Ha ha , yeah I was just told to let others discover the bugs in win XP, and to stick with windows98 for now.
I agree with the OP, it's annoying to see a thread that looks interesting only to find that the info is 5+ years old. Especially when you are dealing with tech oriented threads like plugins, software, etc., it's frustrating because the old information is often just plain wrong considering how many versions have been updated since that thread was started.
I think a great solution would be to have not only the last post date listed in search results and the post listing pages, but also the thread start date. That way, those who do not want to read old threads that have just been updated with a single response 5 years later can avoid them.
So wait...people can't ressurect old threads...but people get all up in arms when they post new ones because there are already threads in existence for that topic even though those threads have been dead for eons? XD Thanks for the laugh!

You are just getting trolled on a necro thread that says not raise necro threads back up from the bottom?
The internet is not a nice place it is full of bored people who just want to see other people acknowledge their existence, sometimes you just have to let stuff go.

Never.
Also, sometimes normal people go on the internet too. Sometimes.

Thank you for this. I thought I was being funny, now I realize I'm just being an attention starved jerk who hasn't gotten over never having "made it" as a rock star.
As promised.... A year after the original post.... Drum roll please....
Can someone remind me what this thread was about? I think it had something to do with bringing back old threads from the dead or something like that. :p
Google search + the "Similar Threads" box at the bottom of every page is the source of this problem.
And hey I have learned great things from books older than this web site. Good information never dies, NEVER! Bruhahahahaha!
