Question about old threads

Hi, I'm a newbie on this forum. I have seen a lot of interesting threads that are super-old, like more than 10 years. Is it ok to resurrect a prehistoric thread or is it better to open a new one? I don't want to come here and first thing I do is piss some moderator

 

Poke those threads, mate.
Never seen anybody object to such.
I like people dredging the vault.

 

We are usually pretty forgiving on here...fairly mellow. If I could presume to answer this i would say that its encouraged to resurrected old threads rather than a new one on the same subject...it keeps the info in one place.

 

I usually open only old threads I have started myself and nobody had answered them or there is new data to add today, or they are close to 20 years old. I think some of them deserve to be reopened. At the moment I take info bits from books I have read so the source is also mentioned. But for instance I think the Kursk thread never dies.

 

Some great old threads I wouldn't mind seeing again.

 

Thanks guys! I also think it makes more sense to continue an old thread than to create a duplicate on the same subject.

 

The 'search' function is always a good idea IMO. I often resurrect old threads - we've had some very knowledgable members here over the years who have shared some excellent research. Also, new books and research have appeared in intervening years, so it's good to update.
