It's a context thing. A thread like the one in GD for Glitches should be revived, so that all the glitches are collected in one place. Something like "What's your favourite movie?" should be created anew.

Quoting Rupture Farms in my sig, I show my opinion :p

But seriously, this whole thread is pretty intelligent, but I feel like it's...not right. I don't know why. Perhaps stigma from past Threadcromancy is having a negative effect on me.

Rupture Farms 10-06-2007 06:07 PM

How's it intelligent?

Eh, fuck it all. Don't dig up old topics that haven't been posted in in forever, especially if they're only relative to when they were made.

Rupture Farms 10-06-2007 08:58 PM

You're saying The Simpsons was only relevant up until 07-14-2006, 08:19 AM?!
Idiot, wake up! The Simpsons is still alive, and there's no end in sight!
The same goes for Family Guy!

Seriously, look up on that stuff before you accuse me of shit like, "especially if they're only relative to when they were made." (I think you meant to say, "relevant". ;))

Not only are they relevant at the moment, but currently, they are easily the two most popular animated TV series' on Earth!

1. It was Family Guy, not the Simpsons.
2. The opinions expressed in that thread were atleast a year old, and probably weren't up-to-date with current thinking, besides, if people kept digging up and posting in the same old threads, then we'd get nowhere except cluttered.

Yeah, because people a year earlier had different thinking systems..:rolleyes:

If we dug up old ones, and ceased making new ones, then there'd be about half of the threads we have cluttered up in the forums now!

Dude, cut out the Thread Necromancy

Explain that..

*sigh* I retracted that statement, because I agreed with you, on the page before.

At any rate, yes, peoples' opinions DO change in a year or less. I know several posters from last year who haven't even been active this year. That alone is a change. We have different people, with different opinions. And since the original thread has drifted off into Oblivion, where nobody cares anymore. Might as well start off on a fresh slate.

Of course people's opinions change, (e.g. I used to think you were a good user.) but their thinking systems don't!

And for gods sake, it's not like we have to abide by what they said a year earlier..
Just ignore what they had to say, and post what you have to say.
Why on earth would that ever matter? I mean, it's obvious you don't read the posts before yours anyway..

And it's not "into oblivion"; have you heard of the "Search" tool?

Exactly. Make a new thread, so we don't have old rotting topics filled with baggage all over the first page, which is where most posters go to.

Or, ...or, ...ready? ............Keep the old one!
It's like throwing away a dog, because it's not a puppy anymore.

And anyway, aren't there mods who can delete the "rotting" posts?

Strike Witch 10-06-2007 09:47 PM

But it's not a dog, it's a pile of old text some guys wrote about a topic that hasn't been updated in a year or more.

Rupture Farms 10-06-2007 10:03 PM

I know it's not a dog. I never said it was a dog. I said it's "like throwing away a dog because it's not a puppy anymore".
Although not immediately, or immensely noticeable, there's a huge difference.

Strike Witch 10-06-2007 10:04 PM

My point still stands.

And why are you arguing with me? I'm not in charge.

Rupture Farms 10-06-2007 10:13 PM

I don't know, because this thread is for discussion...

Hobo 10-07-2007 01:53 AM

Seriously. Stop digging up threads. The occasional one is ok but this is stupid. Just make a new damn thread.
