Why do people get so annoyed if old threads are bumped?

There's nothing wrong with bumping a thread to avoid making a duplicate and you actually have something to add to the discussion.

It's bumping ancient threads for no reason and just saying "wow this is old" or something stupid and pointless that is frowned upon.

bump.

Bumping old threads - easy way to bash noobs that requires little to no effort.

I always thought it was freaken illegal to bump any old thread over page 5 of any forum. 😂

Depends if the thread was stupid to begin with, others need to be bumped to add in new stuff so they don't make dup threads.

there's really no reason at all to bump an "old" thread. If the thread is more than a few months old......just start a new thread. Look around this forum. 50% or greater of the users you see posting joined within the past year or less. KMC has a huge turnover rate. People come and go all the time. That combined with the number of forums people drift in and out of leads to new members constantly being in different forums. If you bump an old thread, a thread more than a few months old to the top you are either:

A. adding a post just to bump it up for no reason whatsoever.

or

B. attempting to engage in a conversation several months old ....a conversation in which 50% or greater of the people who were participating are no longer here to participate. No point in replying to their posts if they are not here to reply to your reply.

just start a new thread.....one where members here, today can all come and engage in conversation. no need to tack it on to page 42 of a thread made in 2004 by a bunch of guys who aren't even here any more. As a rule, I break it down by quarters. If I search a topic and find no posts made about it in the past 3 months.....I start a new thread.

Uhh, no. Duplicate threads are frowned upon.

I think a third of your posts, must be telling people that they've created duplicate threads.

They're trying to hide their past mistakes?

Probably closer to 1% of my posts ermm

Not my fault people make the same threads repeatedly.

Yeah, it's fair enough to draw attention to it. However, a lot of the times I've seen you do it, you've been rather rude about it.

Because I say "duplicate thread" or "search first please" and usually find the original? Okay then srug

bump.

It's nice to see old threads come back up. Mainly because there may be new information shared.
