Thread necromancy

Post by Medesha »

Hi,

If I wanted to start a thread and there's an existing one but it's over a year old, is it better to resurrect the old thread or start a new one? Thinking of a "gamers" thread and there's one called Gamers Unite! but it's from last October. Thanks!

I have resurrected a few threads in the past year. No one seems to mind. Especially with things like support groups, it might be best to resurrect, so people can build from previous posts. Not a mod, so y'know, I'm not an authority figure or anything.

If it's been that long you're more than welcome to start a new one. I hope you do, I like talking about games.
The difference between the truth and a lie is that both of them can hurt, but only one will take the time to heal you afterward.

I can tell by your avatar. :) That's Merril, isn't it?
