<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2302671, member: 19463&quot;]I typed what follows below as a reply to the old thread on books that was brought back after two years of inactivity.&nbsp; I realized that my replying to it was a violation of what I was suggesting we not do so I am starting this new thread to encourage we do what we can do to eliminate the revival of old threads.&nbsp; Just my opinion:</p><p><br /></p><p>Again I find myself in a minority opinion on the matter but this sort of confusion could be prevented by the owners of Coin Talk by limiting the time we have to reply to old threads.&nbsp; New members may want to look at what was said here two/five/ten years ago but they do not need to reply bringing back a thread.&nbsp; In addition to situations like post by our deceased friend there is the real possibility that things have changed since we all posted.&nbsp; It would be quite possible to start a new thread on the same subject which the rest of us could update as we saw fit.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>All that is required would be all threads to be locked 6 months after the first post or even after the last update which would allow individual&#039;s marathon threads (Oki&#039;s Hardian threads come to mind).&nbsp; I know some forum software packages offer this feature but I do not know details of the one used by Coin Talk. For the record, I don&#039;t like these long threads either since I have to plod through twenty pages to find what I said/showed previously when the latest update returns to a subject covered long ago. </p><p><br /></p><p>This only happens occasionally and also could be handled if we all would pay attention to the dates on threads before we bring back the long gone posts.&nbsp; If you feel the need to discuss something from an old thread, start a similar new one for the benefit of new members not around for the old one and for the current feelings from the old crowd who are still here.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>How do you feel?&nbsp; Has this been addressed by the list owners who decided not to save us from ourselves?&nbsp; The Ancient group (hereafter known as the &#039;more trouble than they are worth bunch&#039;) did get a change separating us from modern World coins.&nbsp; Is this a way to improve this forum which we have come to consider our home?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
