I thought we just read what we wanted and when something triggered a question or response we posted, I never thought that it made any difference how old the thread was.

I feel like you just have a vendetta against me, which is weird because I donāt actually even remember any interactions except for that one thread where I suggested your comment might be an overreaction. If you really took that much offence at that, that makes you sound a lot more ātriggeredā than me.
Bumping old threads doesnāt upset me, itās just something that is discouraged on many forums, and that I personally can occasionally find mildly confusing (but am also fine working with if itās considered fine to). If thereās a consensus that itās preferred over new threads Iām completely fine with that, just felt like having the discussion, particularly since Discourse does tend to make it easier to accidentally not notice the age of a threadā¦

Contributing to or commenting on an old thread is not the same as merely saying ābump.ā
Old threads are as good and relevant as any, depending on what you are doing at the moment. Any substantive contribution to this forum is welcome.

Never advocated for entirely preventing itā¦ Just when someone does something like reply to a 3 year old WTS thread, itās probably accidental. Probably also the reason /r/flashlight has a monthly BST thread instead of a BST megathread.
Hello there! I am not an active user of this forum (literally I have only one thread) and this question makes me wonder if not mine topic triggered those thoughts))) I think not but I can agree that similar off-topics which can contain some not forum theme-related things can be undesirable for some old forum users.
Anyway, I hate Reddit because you canāt ask a question in older locked threads which leads to creating new threads for really simple or stupid questions. IMO bigger mega threads with some type of ātable of contentā (which kind regular forum users are creating eventually) are much better. And more friendly to new users, because you just can ask a question in thread instead of creating new (which will replace bumping old threads). And on different forums, I never was annoyed by bumped old threads and never understood bans for that.
Maybe creating a poll could better show if old threads are an issue? Itās always easier to participate in a poll than in conversation.
Iāll add my 2c
Prior to the change over to discourse blf had necro threads. Generally speaking it doesnāt bother me.
Sometimes I like it when new , more updated information / products are added to an old discussion.
Other times i wonder what that poster is doing by raising that thread. I guess this is the type of necro that youāre talking about here when you say āaccidentalā revival. Meh, some people shouldnāt have a car license but yāknowā¦ accidents happen

Donāt take it personally, Iāve accidentally bumped old threads myself - in your case then perhaps it was understandable, maybe just me assuming āeveryone knows the current charger recommendationsāā¦ which I now feel, fair enough there

My 2c: Maybe because I am used to this forum. but I personally think that the ability to resurface old threads is a great feature. I actually love it. Thatās something I really dislike about Reddit for example, where the focus is only on new threads. new threadsā¦ new threadsā¦ resulting in shallow threads, shallow discussionsā¦ Only people who get replied to might notice the thread in their inbox. It will never get to the top of the list.
Candlepowerfurms locks threads after certain timeā¦ so you canāt even edit a comment, which also sucks. I have threads (like the: your favorite flashlight of 2023 etc, or my Eneloop thread) that I canāt edit ā¦ even after only a few days have passedā¦ So the only way to update something is to reach out to a mod, who has to unlock the thread/post. Thatās annoying in my opinion.
I like that SB has added some messages where a post hasnāt been replied to for a whileā¦ thatās pretty helpful I guessā¦ This can also be seen when somebody comments, who hasnāt been posting for a while.

That someone in a public forum has an opinion that differs from mine would only be unbelievable to me if I believed that everyone was obligated to or inclined by nature to agree with me about everything. Even if that were the case, which it is not, I wouldnāt assume their opinion was the result of being ātriggeredā when they had explained their opinion calmly and rationally, as was the case in this instance.

You can always tell when things/topics get a little bit slow around hereā¦

Thats different. If the thread has been going the whole time itās not necroposting, the post wasnāt dead.
3 Thanks
It makes it more interesting if it was dead for 10 years, that means it is still relevant, the context is still valid.

I think bumping old threads is fine - it makes sense that all questions and comments about a particular light are in one thread. Some forums only allow one thread per product and lock all the others and I can see the value in that - I think itās much better than the current system here where 10 members all create their own review thread for the same light with 10 separate discussions following.
2 Thanks
Got no problem with anyone Necro bumping ANY Oldlumens threads, his stuff was/is still relevant today.
Yeah, a āIs that flashlight still availableā from a 3 year old thread on something that was well priced is annoying but it is bound to happen.
Bottom line āRead what you likeā and the rest is just ā¦Water off a ducks back.
Besides the traffic helps our owner, so rock it kids

Bumping or rehashing old threads is, to me, almost always welcome. I cannot say the same for some of the new threads. Keep on reviving old threads and I will keep on checking on them.
Micro managing others behaviors is borderline narcissistic. JSRN right now.

I donāt have a problem with replying to old threads, sometimes the information is still relevant and the new post adds to that. It used to annoy me when someone would post an answer to a question that someone asked years ago and the original posterās probably no longer even a member but, someone else might have the same question.
Sometimes the new reply doesnāt add anything useful but thatās not a feature unique to new threads.

My daughter says it all the time JSRN Dad. Just Saying Right Now. I add another right now to the end of it to aggravate her. Itās just kinda stuck with me I guess.
