I'm now finding this very amusing. Many of the old threads are getting responses... probably because newer users don't pay attention to the dates. I mean responses that in no way would be remotely relevant... It's actually hilarious now. Sorry to bring this up again... but seriously it's looking ridiculous now.
You have users responding to 15yr old threads that haven't had activity for nearly that long... and by those posts..most of those people are actually expecting a reply to some kind of inquiry or question. At least it's amusing for one of us... as it might not bode very well if users aren't getting responses they're expecting. Just an observation. It's no longer as annoying by any stretch... when I'm bored I just hit on a few threads of any given forum...and sure enough there'll be an oldie.. it makes me laugh.. haha.
