Old Posts and/ or Threads

there seems to be a proliferation of old threads suddenly being responded to. Some are over a year old, one was three years old. WTFIGO ?

whats amazing is all of these old threads are being found by new posters. I can't find a thread from yesterday !

some are so old, they have rules in the post that have changed, making them obsolete.

New posters, welcome to the forums, we love your input, but please, when you do your searches, before you respond, look at the date of the original post. Feel free to start a new thread.

oh, and for the record, I think we have covered power strips enough for one day.

1) you can bring them

2) they should be new/newish

3) they can't be surge suppressors.

rant over

for now

Would it be wrong to start bringing back old discussions just to annoy BAK? Big SmileWink

I agree with deleting the threads that haven't been active in a year or so, because they could contain misinformation that was correct when the thread started. Cruiseline policies change, and it would be too bad if a person followed outdated advice and had something taken away, such as bottled water or alcohol etc because of "our" answers. If the thread was locked, they could still misread the information and think it's correct.

ME too

I love our non cruise related thread. It's been a great way to get to know each other on a more personal level.

I do believe a lot of people read through a lot of this but don't post. I also think some OPW post thinking it's like Facebook and they are going to get an instant answer. They don't come back because they didn't see an immediate response.

I like having that thread and the "Midnight" one too.

I agree with BDRebel, maybe lock but don't delete. Many of the older threads have good and interesting info.

But this is really no big deal. If someone resurrects an old thread, so what? Easy to let minor things get under our skin. There are worse things that can happen in life like never being able to cruise again.

Thanks Ctav and Debbie. It's funny how it grew. As I stated... It's a place for us to chat about other things.

Simon would be nuts to remove that ...true mutiny would result ...

That's an active thread no matter how old it is.
