@M1sf3t I didn't mean devRant specifically, just in general. Various forums, Reddit, etc.

C0D4662245yGrave digging is usually frowned upon when notifications are sent out, no one from that old thread is going to remember anything without re-reading it.
Creating a new thread doesn't annoy people + sparks current information from the wider community instead of those only within the original thread.

What's wrong with reviving/bumping an old thread on a forum? It seems way more efficient to me to continue on one central thread. I hate common rules like "don't post in a thread that's a year old, start a new one". Why not keep the conversation in one place? What am I missing?
Isn't this already how we (properly) do email threads? I always go back to find the last email when I send a follow up to avoid breaking into two different threads with two different sets of replies.
