catfan 14,793 Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 I see many old threads just lately being resurrected on here. Is this forum that quiet ? or is radfordred on commission ? 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 I've enjoyed radfordred resurrecting old threads and yes, catfan, I sometimes find that there's not enough NOTTINGHAM content being posted on Nottstalgia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 I enjoy reading the "Old topics" when they are brought back. Back in the archives, there are some very interesting Topics: and when browsing we can still miss some really good posts. Besides it gives the new Nottstalgians chance to add their contributions. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJBrenton 738 Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 There's a term for bumping old threads, necrobumbing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Then why is the 'Search' feature available?. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 To help find members who get lost??? LOL 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Nice one, Ayupmeducks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 #6 I agree Carni. The archives are so interesting and when someone is new to the site it takes a while to explore all of the threads. Also members can add extra information to an old thread and this is valuable. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mercurydancer 1,104 Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Some of the older threads can be very interesting indeed. The older comments put the newer ones into context, which a search function cannot do. You also cannot search for something you didnt realise was there in the first place. I often find myself looking at the earlier posts on a thread which has been bumped, and often to mick2me and cliff ton's links too. Spent many happy hours doing that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,470 Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 The problem with the 'Search' feature is that it's limited to a certain time-span, unless you go deeper into the settings and specifically make it search further back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radfordred 6,284 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 I apologize, I just find it pointless to keep starting new treads? Most of the rubbish I post gets removed anyway. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,470 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 So how long do we have to wait before this thread gets resurrected? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 When this happens 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveN 1,118 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 I don’t think there’s any harm in resurrecting an old thread providing the new post is both relevant to the subject of it and not some unnecessary and stupid comment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I quite like seeing old Fred and his information resurrected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
