<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2305118, member: 19463"]If you look at the posts that said 'yesterday' on Dec. 25 you will see they say 'Thursday' today and will say that tomorrow also. Next week that same thread will say Dec 24, 2015. If you need to see a thread demonstrating this, look at the one on Tom Cederlind which was started on Dec 17, 2015, which was until recently Thursday or Yesterday or Today as appropriate. The software used by Coin Talk has many good features. This is one of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>No one is proposing deleting old threads just to prevent adding posts to them when they are over a certain age. New people are encouraged to read old posts and start new posts on subjects that they find of interest. What we do not need is a post saying 'nice coin' on a thread from 2010. For that matter, I'd prefer no one post to a thread that they have not read in its entirety up to that point since many questions asked have been answered before a page back. Certainly we can ignore new posts to old threads and will be written off as unfriendly like some other venues or have to go back and see what was said several pages back so we can give a proper answer updated or repeated as appropriate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
