But it's a pretty normal thing here to see zombie threads revive so I understand the OPs concern. If only Alex enabled a feature that auto locks threads that have been dead for a certain amount of time.

I think it has become more frequent recently due to the lack of new discussions.

Very very few people actually dig up old posts,usually(with acception to the corona post in the news forum)once a post is a month old,people usually forget about.

It's considered in poor taste as an unwritten rule of online forums,that it's in poor taste to dig up ancient threads,people occasionally do it but it's rare.You don't see a lot of old threads accept for sticky's and some of threads in the games forum and also some silly threads in the random forum.

Other than that old threads being dug up is rare,I don't think anyone is reading any of the old threads your ashamed of.

BTW I'm glad to see your from Denmark,there is a lot of Danish on my father's side of the family.So don't worry it's all good. 8)

But pragmatically it doesn't actually happen that much,in today's morning run through I have checked most of the forums not all but most.I have not seen any old threads on the board so far,that typical,I rarely actually see a ancient thread on the board,once in a while but not usually.

I have that problem too. I'm just so worried that someone from my family might join WP and start to figure out that Joe90 is their own family.


Why would anyone else in your family join Wrongplanet?

Her brother got diagnosed not long ago, and she's complained about him over the years. I remember the time she said he yawned extra loudly just to annoy her. :D
