Don't worry about it too much. And if I came across a bit too blunt, I apologize for that, because I don't want to scare away new forum members.

Welcome to the forum :)

Well, hope this thread is not too old.  :-)  In some forums they "lock" threads after a certain time period so you can't reply to them anymore.

Although I've never quite understood the point of this.  It seems like if there's old information on a thread, then it's sometimes useful to update it with new information.

And if it's too old to reply to, then it seems it should be too old to appear on Google search results.  For me, there's nothing worse than hitting an old forum thread page from Google with out-of-date information and not being able to reply with corrections/additions, and knowing that future visitors will see the same misinformation.  At that point the thread should probably be deleted or archived and hidden from search engines or something.

Anyway, just my random opionion...

I agree you should be able to reply to old threads with corrections, addition or questions. But bumping several dozen threads to the top with mostly comments like 'I agree" or  "I don't know" doesn't fall in those categories. It just adds noise and displaces newer threads from the first page.

I suppose ideally when you post to old threads there should be a notice to ask whether you're really sure that what you're contributing is something worth beating the long-dead, long-decayed, skeletal remains of the horse a few more times. And perhaps for good measure limit such topic-necromancy to a few threads per day -- because I don't expect everyone will answer that question truthfully (if at all).

Or, thinking back, starting up a new thread, the first post of which references the old. Then again, perhaps not.  A sea of one post threads would be forum death!

The way I see it, if a thread's been there for ten years, chances are it'll still be there in a week, a month, a year. Rather than posting in a few dozen threads now, you can make a note of anything you have in mind to say, and come back from time to time to dig up another couple of old threads. Anything that's not worth keeping in reserve for that long probably wasn't worth posting in the first place...

If only it were that simple.

I suspect- because I occasionally feel it in myself-  there's the seeking attention/affirmation element in posting. That sort of behaviour doesn't really listen to/ care about such tests.
