I notice that too...some guy named tiger beer from japan actually replied to his own 3 year old post just to get it back up again...like resusitating the dead...maybe just lack of new material..who knows?

Well, I suppose I've done that before too but I didn't think of that until I posted.

How do you know they're from Japan?

inthecut, why does your name, (and a few others) have a lighter shade of blue than the rest?

Prob cause we're evil...the bad people get that lighter shade here, but I wear it proudly...that light shade just tells you the poster is up to no good..

Usually someone new to C-D does a search for whatever topic they're interested in and joins in on whatever threads pop up on the search, not realizing that it's old, and then several other people respond because the topic is of interest to them even if it IS old, and then someone else gets all bent out of shape because it's an OLD thread (not saying you, flrpots, you just asked why) and why are people posting to it even if the topic clearly IS still interesting!, lather, rinse, repeat.

By the way, on my monitor, inthecut is the same shade of blue as everyone else.

It's part of the new City-Data "green" initiative. It's recycling.

Hey, that's my line! I always call it "thread recycling."

People who dislike the practice call it "necroposting."

FWIW, the folks who run the board approve of reviving old threads. If you don't like them, watch the thread list for the blue clock icons and you'll never be tempted to click a revived thread again.
