As something has been going on lately in AG's development...Don't know what in the world the developers are doing to the site, the most recent posts and their timings on the main forum page have gone wonky, wacky, crazy etc....
As a result some old posts that should stay dead under all other posts have been coming back like zombies from their graves...Some people have been posting on them, thereby resurrecting them.
Please do not do so! It only brings back unwanted unnecessary threads. I think some of the mods have already locked these threads...
I agree 99% of them are dead and buried mostly because they have been answered but 1% might, hard to phrase, deserve to be posted in. I looked at the tail end of the sections at threads that haven;t been posted in for ages and some looked ok but I don;t like necroposting so I agree with you.
Because of the odd timing in the main forum page, people click on the 'recnt' thread that is usually displayed by the sides. Unfortunately, the clocks have gone fritz and people end up posting in old threads which they think are new ones...
I know what you were on about you've started a simliar thread in the support and suggestions asking about it. I think Devoidless' advice is good. It is fun reading old threads though adds some variety
