Exactly. Sometimes if something becomes relevant again, I'll bump it. There were always many "reasons" why it could be bad. Someone said bumping a thread that had banned members in it is drawing attention to them. Othertimes its just because it bumps newer fresh posts off the page too quickly. I don't to it to annoy, although to some, seeing a thread on the first page started over a year ago is always annoying.MEH. You will see a old subject come up in a thread. Then go look for the thread about the subject and give it a bump. Or you will see a old member posting again then go find a old thread he made and pump it.
Yes I can see how it would have something to do with the subject of the day or what have you. But it can make things worse some times.
Anyway I think its something we can all work on together.
I always figured, what's the point of having such a deep and rich history if we can't relive some of it from time to time?
