It is just an aversion on this board. On other boards it sometimes results in a ban. For instance, I used to play 'Cybernations' and I got banned from both the forum and the game for posting in a topic that had been inactive for just 30 days. That's a VERY extreme example, but my point is that it is proper etiquette not to revive old topics....UNLESS there is a relevant update to that topic.
Sorry to extend this old thread.
Of course, like they say, when in Rome do as the Romans do.
I must say this is the first time I have run across this convention. But I've led a sheltered on-line life I guess. My participation in boards, starting in about 2001, has been limited to flight sim boards (quite a few of them actually) and I was a moderator of a very active one for a number of years.
Bottom line, though --- if that's the way things are done here, I'll do my best to adhere to it, and I certainly hope there will be a little leeway if I start the odd thread that evokes the reaction "Hey we dealt with this 2 years ago!"
I don't want to p*ss in somebody else's soup.
