After reading the forums of late and at one time myself being a thread maker.
All I seem to see are threads dug up from years ago.
I know a lot of people have strong feelings of what used to be but I believe being a relative newbie here, we get put off from doing new threads as they seem to go into oblivion very quickly.
I like new topics but feel the old threads belong to others and dont really feel part of them.
some of the topics are really good and could be repeated like a new thread.
I think it is better to have threads that people here presently can have input in I just feel it could be a bit off putting having pages already.
Am I the only one that feels this way?

Somehow ......... the older ones seem to be funnier :giggle:
The new ones seem to be far more serious ......... but maybe its just me

Sam maybe if a person is part of those times I can see how you could reminisce and look back with fond memories, for people that were not there at that time can all seem confusing.
I still think there are funny threads today. take hisandhers thread about the number count went from 0-whatever in 60 seconds. That really made me laugh there are some very witty people about today I feel.

I wasn't part of the old threads but I still find them funnier
I remember looking for threads that Davej had posted on ............ he was a nutter :giggle:

I like seeing some of the old threads being dug up especially when things get a bit serious in here and someone finds an old gem.
The problem a lot of people have is finding a topic that hasn't already been covered over the years. That said, there's a good mix of new and old threads running side by side and I think it works ok

I agree. And I think the last few days here in the cafe have been the liveliest and most entertaining for quite some time - I think that says something.

Problem being is that if an old topic has gadzillion pages already posted onto it then most of whats is able to be said on a topic already is. This then makes any potential new entry by anyone less likely because the like is already in there albeit 35 years old.
Yeah dig up the old topics for sure but lets fill it with 2009 entries

digging up threads i think is done sometimes just to break the stale mate of the forum, sometimes it can get bogged down with too many serious debate thread or too manyof the same threads being circulated .
sometimes its just a way of injecting a bit of new blood, or to bring a gem of a thread to the newer posters, and quite often the newer posters really enjoy seeing an old fun thread ressurected and have a good laugh about it.
Its fun to go down into the cellars of SH Towers and have a root and see what u can find and blow off a few cobwebs and add your own little touches and opinions to a thread.....and if it makes you smile....BONUS!!! :D :D

I couldn't care less where the threads originated from. It is the content that makes me want to join the thread.........not who is in it or started it.
Dave_Notts
I agree with Dave.
I'm not being funny or anything Minxy, but maybe you think too much and should just let people do what they want to do, if the threads are old, so what?
, more to the point, if it gains people's interest to come back and post, good on the rejuvenated threads :2fingers: As a relative newbie I find old threads as interesting as new ones, although I often only read the first few and last few pages of long ones. I know that means I may be repeating someone else's thoughts if I reply but who is going to castigate me for having a similar opinion?
I must admit, I'm hooked on the forums at the moment, so if there are old threads being regurgitated, they're still fresh and new to me. Until I start posting my own, I'm very happy to read anything that other people feel strongly enough to post whether it's resurrected or new?

I just felt that by this happening it could put new people off from thread making. I believe there could be a balance I just feel the forums were a little swamped with old stuff.
But I shall stop thinking now, and just go back to observing

Doe anyone remember a similar suggestion to this back in 2005 ?

Blimey........... I actually agree with Dave here. My sentiments too.
I agree with you a number of times. Usually when I have not written against your post I usually agree
. This is easily seen as we are both in the middle of topical threads :lol:

With the slow movement on the board recently, I quite like seeing some of the older threads resurrected. I hope that some of the older threads would inspire some new threads!
I can understand what your saying Minx but agree with others, what does it matter that they were from way back if people can still join in and have fun?

I hope that in years to come people dredge up some of my nonsense. That would make me smile in my pissing/dribbling stages of old age in the swingers nursing home giving the young ones a treat with my tattoos and piercings!! :silly: :mrgreen:
I don't really care if old threads resurface... some of them are belters and should be dragged up from time to time... like Dawnie's drawers! I mean what's not to like about that and how much have we laughed at Ian's expense?!
I think nola has done a sterling job of picking out the ones with some humour and lots of scope for us all to add our thoughts to them regardless of how old they are! I loved seeing posts of old, making me giggle and showing the banter that could be. It's not for knocking in my opinion, it's for embracing and taking some tips from because life is way too short for no nonsense! :mrgreen:
I think there should be a lot more live and let live and a lot less hole picking (unless of course it's the right sort!)

Here's how I see it, seeing as how I am to blame for Minxy's apparent upset.
I have joined a site with history, with a community, with a public forum.
As a member of that site I am genuinely interested in what makes this site tick. To me, that 'tick' - the lifeblood of the site - is a combination of members past and present and of forum debates/threads/posts past and present.
There are - as many have said - some genuinely witty threads out there. There are some great new threads being posted all the time and there are equally some bloody good ones in the vaults.
I like variety. I get bored of same-old-same-old. When I get bored, I do something about it. Sometimes I will start a thread (sometimes?! Okay, often!) and then other times I go and read old stuff and see if it piques my interest. If it does, I post on that thread.
Same rules apply surely as are trotted out far too often at the mo "if you don't like it, don't read it or post on it"? And as for the comments about good new threads dropping off the front page - well re-post on them. They'd be back at the top then! The forum is not all about the front page. There's acres of the damn stuff just sat there to do with what we wish.
We all make contributions to this forum. Sometimes I go foraging and dig up some old threads. I do it because they amuse me and they are generally well-received.
I probably sound like I'm ranting. But I actually believe passionately in the fact that this is and was a great forum. It is one of the aspects of this site that most surprised me. I did not expect to enjoy the forum so much - I joined the site, as most did, for gratification of a sexual nature. What I found as well was fun and wit and sometimes bloomin' thought provoking and emotional writing.
I'm with DG - I would love it if I popped onto the site in a few years time and saw someone had resurrected her Pervy Points Challenge thread and were having the same fun with it that some members are right now. Or one of Mrs Bone's funny games. Or one of your threads Minxy. I'd think 'gosh, good times' and, if I felt inclined, I'd jump back in again and post away.
Variety of opinion and of topic and of posting style is what makes - and, as far as I can see has always made - this forum a truly enjoyable place to be a part of. I personally think it is good to get a different take on the issues and, when there are less active posters than there are members of the site, the reactivating an older thread can introduce that different slant.
But hey, like this one, I'll also join in with the new threads; I'll even start a few no doubt.
I'm not going to apologise for enjoying the old threads and I'm not going to stop enjoying the new ones either.
Without sounding sycophantic, but in a way not caring if I do, I will continue to enjoy the multiplicity of threads and of posters and of opinions expressed in this here forum... I'll also continue doing what I came to the site to do too - between forum postings
If we were all the same, it'd be dull. Right?

I agree with the folk that have said that the content is the important thing. If it interests me or makes me laugh or I was part of it the first time around then I would probably post and if it does'nt then I won't. I certainly would'nt be upset if others were enjoying it though
