well it would be sort of difficult, not to mention annoying, for all the mods to go back and close all the old threads. but sometimes if people want to know more about something, and they see that its locked/closed, they'll automatically assume its completely redundant and not even bother looking into it and create a new thread which would make an even bigger problem.

Reviving or bumping threads are completely fine as long as it is relevant to the topic at hand. Topics do not expire. Bumping old threads doesn't automatically make it bad. But from what I observed here when people bumping threads, it is usually idiotic, completely irrelevant, spam and/or old news that's been already posted.
Hope that helps.

i agree, most of the time when threads are being revived, the posts are very idiotic such as that ken_r34 guy quoting something that someone said more than a year ago and disagreeing with him. thats just plain stupid.

QUOTE (maxidrifter001 @ Today at 11:06 AM) | If you want to be with the forums for a while, I suggest there shouldn't be a shout box. |
Is that a veiled threat? If it is I have no tolerance for it. Especially since the man has a point. A shoutbox might be good for clearing up some of the garbage posts that crop up in the threads about random BS most readers might not care about.

Shoutbox disabled for the moment until I can find a better way to implement it on the board. The way it was setup took up too much head room and I wasn't happy with it. You can still find the shoutbox by clicking Chat on the top menu for the meantime.
