If you find an old topic that you wish to “resurrect”, please start a new thread. The reason for doing it that way is very simple. The people who were on that thread my be gone or may no longer be interested in the subject. If you begin a new thread, you may get a fresh perspective.
We leave old threads in plain sight, because people often come to ask a question. Rather than starting a thread on something that has been discussed, the person can go into search mode and find the discussion, inform himself and move on.
If the last post on a thread is more than six months old, it may mean that no one is really interested in that topic. If the last post is over a year old or more, the posters may have moved on.
