Is there anything we can do to stop this annoying trend? So often the front page gets a ‘new’ topic on it, you look into it, and its actually 2-4 years old and has generally run its course. The new post in said thread is…not to insult posters, often spam, or repeating an answer earlier in the thread, or correcting people on info about the game that came out like a year after the thread was made.
I really don’t think the people of 2012 need to be told the Rookie died. Especially in the universe forum where most of them have read the book, or at least heard the news.
Can’t the IT guys put in some barrier to submitting posts to threads where the last post has a date of like… 6+ months ago? That feels pretty generous. If they reaaaly need to revive a thread maybe give mod’s some power to bypass this limitation.
