Ok so i have a question
so in the rules it says "Please refrain from posting in month- or year-old threads unless you have something constructive to add to the conversation"
so if we post in an old thread, but say something of value it is ok right?
i was just confused becaue anytime someone posts in an old thread people are like "zombie thread" and im like "... i thought it was allowed"
thanks for the clarification |

I think if you add something with value, that's okay?
If someone brings an one year old thread up with "omg lol"
that's something with no value so I consider that as a zombie thread...
pffff lol, maybe a mod of admin can tell us.
I thought Sera said (not sure!!!!!) that you can post in threads that are less than 3 months...
maybe the "zombie rules" should be more clarified.

I'm not sure whether my post was meaningful or not but I deleted it anyway so I could avoid getting told off and being directed to the forum rules  I don't really think my post had much of a point anyway so meh

Haha yeah you should. They're really nifty and they take less than 5 minutes 
and bringing back an old thread is okay if you have something constructive to say.
Par Example. The Adalia Episodes. Everytime a new one comes out a thread is made to notify everyone.
Say for example 3 months after one came out someone had something to say about it. That's gonna spark off a new discussion, rather than just "OmMMGGiiZZllEE Thattts LyKkkEe WellllLLL GoooD." yeah that's acceptable.
As for people saying Zombie Thread. We all do that. Well I know I do. Just 'cause it's wierd seeing the thread again. It doesn't mean we're telling you off.
If we were telling you off for bringing back a Zombie Thread we'd be like "Zombie Thread, there really wasn't any need to bring this thread back. Please remember only to bring threads back from the dead if you have something constructive to contribute. Pleasethankyou "
As for Salvador. He pretty much pwns.

Salvador is totally my boyfriend.
And yeah, pretty much what Nat said. Don't dig up anything six months old to say "oh I agree" or "yeah that's funny" because there's no point. We can't build a discussion off that. If you have something new or interesting to add that you think would be worth talking about, it would be okay to bring something back. Use your discretion here, peeps.
But yeah..please don't dig up super old threads from like, 2005 or whatever. They'll just end up taking up unneccesary space.
