With a tip o' the hat to Lady Shadow I feel like the odd one out here. I don't see the problem with resurrecting old threads. This is a site for mental health support. Each of us is at a different place in our personal journey. I might have heard something a million times, learned what is being said a long time ago, but it might be brand new information to someone else.
A suggestion for those who dislike old threads being being reactivated - skip over the thread. |

Okay I wasn’t even sure about posting in THIS thread. There’s pros and cons to both reviving old threads or not. And everyone’s definition of “old” is different. I don’t think 6 months with no replies anymore is old.
If one puts “unanswered threads” in the search field, pages of threads come up, some years old. Maybe if someone started a thread in 2014 and nobody replied (or even if someone did) AND the op hasn’t even logged in since 2014, then maybe purge threads like that. But the downside is that other members could benefit if it is revived, interacting with one another….OR it could trigger. If I see something I want to comment on, I post. I don’t notice dates, I focus on CONTENT. And I glance at the members in it. The date is too tiny for me anyway, especially on a tiny screen. I recently posted in a thread that at the time had no replies. The op was pleasantly surprised, saying they didn’t expect a reply. Others responded. Someone revived an old thread of mine from 7 years ago and it became active again. I didn’t mind but others probably did. I’m glad I don’t have to make this decision, if one will be made. That’s my take on it, take it or leave it. ——— Posted directly on site using iPhone __________________ Call me "owl" for short! Hmmm....looks like some good tips in here. "Okay, enough photos.
