What's Up With All The Recent Thread Necro?

[rcadden]

Anyone else noticed an insane amount of thread necro lately?

I'll see a new post in the "Latest Posts" box, click on it, and then realize that the OP was from like, 2018, scroll through 4+ pages of comments to find the one dude who revived the whole thread.

Anyone else notice this lately?

I see no issue with this. It means users are using the search function. If they don’t, they get flamed.

@Sparky1352 fair point, and I definitely agree. Just seemed odd (and kinda new).

But yes, the more use the search box gets, the better for sure.

Oddly enough, none of the resurrected threads are "what's the biggest tire I can fit stock"
