[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes revived threads usually start with 'bumping this thread' instead of starting a new one with the same topic.

If there was a way to indicate a thread has been bumped, one could benefit from old and new information.[/quote]

A lot of times it's not "new" information. It's a debate that's been discussed and beaten to death. Swimming with Dolphins When Pregnant has been debated ad naseum (for example). No need to bring it back to life.[/quote]You can't compare ridiculous threads to informative ones.  I frequent the College Forum which does revive threads.  If you're discussing Utopia University and want to know about recent DC experiences or need current information/opinion, bumping has advantages vs starting a new thread so those unfamiliar can compare then and now with the old thread.

Again, a comparison with dolphin swimming to a revived thread comparing old/new medications, for example, is no comparison.

I can live with reviving or not reviving.  One can always do a search and start a new thread if wanted.[/quote]
