We've been noticing members reviving some really old threads lately. This is 'necroposting'...please avoid doing this. Old threads ran their course and after a year or more they're better left alone.
Feel free to post up a new thread with the subject matter you'd like to discuss. Sometimes members move on and the OP may not be around anymore and posting up a question to an old thread may not get you the answer you're hoping for.
Edit: Bobster is laughing at me, so I should probably explain that threads that have no posts for more than a year or two would definitely be considered 'dead'. Threads that are years old and still active are fine to post in. No one will be 'in trouble' for necroposting, it's more of a housekeeping issue.
