Well, the digging of dead threads is usually frowned upon and also a personal pet peeve but this is different.

^ I had no idea about either of these bits of information. Is it really frowned upon? As is probably clear by now, my position is the exact opposite of yours, Exo. How strange.

- so thanks, btw, for overcoming your personal aversion and entering into the spirit of the game!

It's a peeve when somebody digs up a thread say, for example, about Moby, just for the sake of saying "I like Moby!"

It's better just to make a new thread with a re thought out starting post.

Surely this never happens?

^ Well, if someone wants to post "I like Moby", isn't it better that they bump a thread to do it instead of opening a new thread for that purpose alone? Despite Trollheart's disbelief

, I suspect there are threads like that around. How many Moby threads do we need? I would've thought that bumping would save mods the job of merging - or is merging frowned upon too?

Nobody wants multiple Moby threads.

As a former mod, I can sympathize with Exo on this. We used to hate it when some Lounge thread in particular would reawaken after ten years and we might have to deal with something controversial again. Something like a James Patterson thread,though, we may not have liked it but we'd probably just roll our eyes.

And, Lisna, merging sometimes isn't as easy as it sounds. You have to determine if the two threads in question really are similar (as in copycats), and if it's worth it when you have to deal with more pressing issues like Spammers for example.

Now back to your regular programming
