Just remember to report the spamming.
It's not like anyone should say that on-topic responses to an old thread shouldn't be there if the thread doesn't really have a time frame.
Obviously, if it's about the introduction of the original Mac mini, report the thing, but if it's about how many songs you have in your iTunes library, it should be fine.

C'Mon... I've been here like 4 years now... you should know I post before I don't read the thread.
Yeahbut. The first thread is funny. I don't know who or what gackt is. So that one is stupid. I say lock it. But the first has made my boring day a little lighter (even if it was a spammers fault)vniow said:

as vniow generously pointed out when I got some (good natured) banter for accidently starting a thread that was similar to one that was around two years ago. That was in Community too. Sometimes it's like looking for a needle in a haystack when there is a big gap in time, and the threads use different wording.
My duplicate thread got merged with the old one so guess that still applies.
Edit: Apologies, duplicated message when I edited it.

I prefer the term "bastardliness".
I agree. Depending on the motive and the subsequent direction of the thread, thread resurrection can potentially be annoying. If the discussion still stays within the scope of the thread topic and it either enlightening or entertaining (or both) then I'm not so bothered by it.
With that said, I also have noticed a lot of thread resurrections as of late.

It would have been funnier if that's all you said, but I digress.floriflee said:
