Whats so sacred about old threads?

A lot of people here, have a tendancy to spam new topics that are similar to old ones. Sometimes oldones from years ago. I think the threads on page 40 should have a special meaning and reason to be kept, but a whole bunch remain.

If they were deleted, then new members -along with old- could make new topics without having everyone forced to read the first pages that ended up killing the thread, just to get to the recent post. Unless, they want to restart the thread -in a way- after the most recent post, but thats asinine.

Someone, has truly spammed up this new thread in a bad way called "Movies you like". Others participated, but he persists on having complaints and arguments said. This is BS in my opinion.. There are only so many people here who make rules, and he's not one of them, yet he persists on bashing people for things that seem to break what he thinks should be a rule.

Let new conversations start!!! Just cuz a thread died 6 months ago, shouldn't mean we cant start a new conversation about it! Upload the first threads on FTP if they are so special, or archive them from a different server location that dosnt hoard up HC's space. Or simply keep them where they are.

I dont see a logical reason for people to complain over a new conversation just cuz it was held once before.

Are we seriously forced to revive threads on page 40 if we want to start a new disscussion just because of the annoying complaints? Complainers are running this place a little to much if n00bs, or regular members have to resurect aincient threads to start a new disscussion. These, old threads are nothing SPEcial!! There seems to be nothing eloquent about them, so why force people to use that as a core to a new disscussion?

When a member sees a thread on page one, that has died years ago, a member is less reluctant to get into an active disscussion about it because its already died.

A lot of new members arive here over months and months, and forcing them to look everywhere is wrong. Forcing them to use old died material, inorder to have new disscussions, is wrong.
in some point of views, mabey, the more bennificial ones???


I can see some instances like the age thread, in a way.. But who really wants to do the math, when the post was made, who the member was, how old they are now ect.. Favorite color.. lol toss thread, but still colors change over time, and creative awnsers can be fun. Theres more room for creativness from the beggining anyways.

thats cool , dont delete the threads.. But I dont see how this gives people a right to cry when someone starts a new discussion.. I can see if one had just died, or is in progress, but I find it way more annoying when little mosquitoes are crying cuz someones starting a disscussion, and the little mosquito thinks the old history, and thread that died, should be revived like just the same as reignitiating a historic discussion.

I dont care if it's revived or not what I mean is people always come on here & read the old days.
It should be left as history of HC it dont have to be revived.

Celfious do you have any idea how many, "Movies" threads HC has?  

We can't just create new threads and ignore the old ones.  The old ones are their for a reason and we can still use the old ones.

Most Noobs don't care, they just create new threads.  That's bad, we want to help the Noobs.  Maybe if they read the older threads they would understand more about HC.

V:03 final

trust me i see both of your points. I agreed with aculious before hand. There is a certain history which shouldn't be lost so frivilously. (although the thread title may infer otherwise on accident)

Dingos point, though.. Is not invalid. It is opinion, which is opposite of others opinions.


So then, a n00b has to read 50 pages of threads to know if they can start a new thread, with your opinion. Secondly, with your opinion, we must ALWAYS start with dry ground. Ground which has already been walked on, posts already established, sometimes over 5 pages of posts. This also means that, in order for people to carry on with the 1 year old discussion, that its best to see the posts in the prior pages. Otherwise, determine most recent "active" posts and try to fit a post in there.

There is a reason why those threads arent revived so often.. Which brings me to my opinion, once again.. Its easier to start a disscussion in a new thread, vs an old thread.. Well, it would be easier, if people didnt spam it with their complaints. If it is so just, to complain and everything, why not let mods close the thread? Why dose the thread have to be full of your complaints, and flames that are all over HC.

I rather start new disscussions, way before I would want to see your complaints. Mabey a Mod needs to say its not really your place to complain or make the rules. You all even turn it into Toss sessions, your not even responsible about it.

Mabey if, Val says "use the old threads" first of all, he'd be disaproving the point, that its easier to start new disscussions. It's more enjoyable to start fresh (when people arent filling the thread with annoying complaints).. So, if he disaproves that point, and says "Use the 1st instated threads even if their on page 50", then it would be best if members dont complain in the threads, and just let a MOD send it to the wastelands, and post the original threads URL. Mods are Mods for a reason, and its not nessesarily all fun, leave that responsibility to them rather than filling up HC with complaints that ruin any potential of a new disscussion.

I would see a definate need for a sticky thread with all general thread topics. Age, color, music, movies, favorite number, favorite artist, favorite type of art, favorite games, ect. .

Keep in mind, theres so many thread ideas possible. To refuse a new disscussion, is to limit threadmaking possibilities by as many threads as there already are. If I made a thread called "Movies discussion" where the whole point is to discuss movies, you lamers would start flaming sayin theres already a movie thread. Where, the new topic[/i[ suggests discussing movies, not saying your favorite ones. Yet the mosquitoes persist with no relinquishment.

Not many probally agree but i think the history should be there for those to read even the tosses & all,So everyone can see howsettled we were & how it was before etc.

I see a way to promote harmony here.
HC should have a thread search function.
For thread title and post info.
Then if I wanted to start a new topic, I could do a search to see if one's been done before on a particular subject.
Then I wouldn't have to wade through 40 pages of old threads and nobody would complain.
