Does it annoy you when people post in old threads?

If anything, I'm more annoyed by people complaining about "necroed" threads than the revival of old threads, themselves.

Drives me insane (because honestly, who is going to read through a 96 page thread?), but I can more or less understand why people do it and on some level, I understand the appeal to a less cluttered forum. But people who post in old advice threads and unnecessarily controversial ones are the absolute worst. Some threads just need to die from natural causes in their sleep.

Edit: The irony would be in the fact that the post previous to mine was made 4 months before I posted this, so technically I'm guilty. But my annoyance stems most from the fact that they get bumped up from out of nowhere to overwhelm the newer threads

Yes and No. But more often Yes. Well actually I don't care when OTHER people do it, I just won't do it myself. My poll answer totally doesn't apply to what I actually want to say here, lawls.

It's different if it's a thread that's really general that comes down to personal experience, subjectivity, what's new or whatever. Something you can always talk about without caring whether it's an original thought or not. Then it's usually fine. That's why I like this forum, the discussions are very introspective.

If it's something that involves more intense discussion or debate like the news or politics or philosophy etc then I just avoid completely, cannot be arsed investing in that. I don't like being presented with an idea, then having to scroll through everyone else's past ideas just to make sure I'm not simply repeating what Joe from 2009 had to say about it. I can debate- especially with the time I have on a forum to formulate my points- I just refuse to be wasteful and risk churning through what's already been churned through a few times over. That's why I generally don't like those subjects when talking to people.

no, because sometimes the threads currently available fail to fascinate me and it's nice when an intriguing old thread makes an appearance

What emerald sea said.

I love that this thread has been repeatedly bumped from the depths... hehe.

How delightfully ironic :d

No, I'd rather see old threads bumped up then multiple threads about the exact same thing.

Actually .. it annoys me way more to see new threads constantly being created to re-hash the same topic.

The ENFJ+INFP thing has been done to death .... I really wish someone would make a sticky out of the whole ENFJ+INFP "he loves me, he loves me not" question.
