What's the point of replying to threads that are years old?

[Sexy Sandy 69]

I see that yet another thread 'cim danger' first started in June 2012, someone has posted on this thread & it's now on the 1st page again, how many pages did someone troll through to get to that post? Is there not enough interesting & current posts to reply to? Why open a thread that is 3 years old?

Mods is there any chance that posts, say more than 12 months old, are locked?

No point really,usually trolls bump old threads but sometimes someone goes surfing and bumps them,anyway if the thread is not attacking anyone or is informative I would not have a problem with it.

I answered second
I did so because as I said in my reply I want to know if thinking around owo/cim in mouth has changed with what seems to be an increase in ads offering BB anal
I did not see those ads before and now this week on a site I am on regularly there are 2 easy to spot ads offering that
Seems very relevant to me

Why not start a new relevant thread with a new title, so that the thread addresses those ads & issues? I'm not going to read an old thread of 58 pages to post a reply.

I was wondering the same.
Some person joined yesterday & bumped a few really old threads with not very useful comments!

I totally agree. There are a couple of massive threads that have been dormant since 2012 and have now suddenly appeared at the top of the forums. It makes no sense IMO as many of the contributors are no longer active on here in some cases. Also for those who resurrect these threads, do they really think people are going to wade through all those pages to reach their post at the very end

[Oh Kevin]

yes he should just have started on a new threads on the Joys of CIM

[Clueless]

More valid contributions on the old ones!

Well, mods should take action when old threads are revived.

New guy probably found this site through google search. Somebody should start a welcome thread.
