Let's all do some digging on WP and see how many dead and buried threads we could revive

No thanks. I don't want to get banned or have WP flashbacks. You can if you want.

Is bringing up old threads against the rules? I see people do it. OR does "dead" mean something besides old?

Bringing up dead threads just for the sake of doing so is against the rules.

Necroing dead threads isn't explicitly against the site rules but it is generally frowned upon by mods and other members and it may be considered 'spamming' which is against the site rules.

People invariably start quoting and responding to people earlier in the threads that have long since left the site and they wonder why they aren't responding. It gets silly. Mods may lock such threads if there are newer variants of the same topic or if they have been bumped for no valid reason.

-edit- I should had explained myself better and isn't talking about bringing up past conflicts or drama or anything like that but more like threads that sounds like fun :/

If it's a hassle for mods and is frowned upon then maybe it's not a good idea and I should stop doing that ...

Its "christen".

Not the noun/adjective "Christian".

The verb for officially declaring the name of a baby, or of a ship (and breaking the bottle of wine on the bow), is "christen".

Jeeze!

Chill, N.P.. Not everybody is a walking dictionary! :lol:

Divine Mercy image! Are you Catholic, Mr. Oddball? I'm just nosy. You can tell me if it's none of my business.

It's okay, I might had touch on a pet peeve of N.P. :/ I'm not really religious, despite how much I want a loving God to be real, and is more or less Scientology ...

I guess you could say that I believe that God is an alien who gave a monkey some brains to mine for gold and other material from this earth
