Let sleeping dogs lie .... Basically , I think by commenting on a post , I am actually replying to the OP..... and likewise so do the other posters ....so if the thread is seven years old .... the OP is probably long gone ...so wats the point ??? If you liked the thread so much , be original and creative and start a new thread of your own ... it does not suit you to piggyback on someone else's creativity.... just saying !!! Hiya again Slim gym, You know that thought went through my mind too, the fact the thread starter may no longer even be a member... I like the thought of originality too, although in some/many cases that may not be possible... |

It depends on the subject and what kind of mood I’m in whether or not I post a comment on a really old topic.  @Slim....... the only problem with starting your own topic is that the mods usually direct you to one that’s already in progress. Not sure how far back they go with them  Hiya Coolchick Dee, Mmmm speaking for myself, I only come online if I feel like talking, though in some cases I think to myself... There's not enough free time to post my answer... or maybe I think... A short answer won't suffice or do the topic justice... At times like that (sorry but) I simply throw the towel in lol  |

If you liked the thread so much , be original and creative and start a new thread of your own ... it does not suit you to piggyback on someone else's creativity.... just saying !!! Yup, gotta agree with this. I see the forums as an ongoing conversation. If a subject is months, or years, old, and OP is long gone, what's the point? Hiya mototowndowntown, I hear ya, but sometimes though, before i realise the thread is old, I've already submitted a response, only for someone else to come along and point out the topic finished 5 years ago lol

Totally understand ... I mean for creative purposes ... such as for the undiscovered poets on here ... it could be enlightening to re-post some of their works for new Minglers to enjoy .... but otherwise.....try and come up with new ideas etc ... I don't think the Mods think that 7 year old threads are " in progress "...... in progress to me is .... current or at least 6 months old .... @Slim - it solely depends on a person's interest in reading old threads on poems n not all are really interested in poems, I agree N when a person is able to relate the pain or an emotion expressed in the poem with his/her past or current situations, that person tends to appreciate the efforts of that poet, not bothering whether a thread is new or old! Who knows, if that poet is still in mingle, it would really bring an inner happiness which remains unmeasurable☺ These can be ignored if it doesn't interest oneself n assumptions on making new minglers enjoyable doesn't go in hand with this  hope new minglers have lots to enjoy other than these  |

It depends on the subject and what kind of mood I’m in whether or not I post a comment on a really old topic. @Slim....... the only problem with starting your own topic is that the mods usually direct you to one that’s already in progress. Not sure how far back they go with them Actually we only use the first three pages to direct members too if the Topic has already been posted... If the thread is older then that we leave it to start a new one.. Hope that answers some questions.. And the only time we will delete a thread that has been brought back up, is if it is now against the Site Rules... At times if we delete a response it is due to it was just about the OP that is no longer active..Therefore no reason to bring it back.. |

I have responded to threads when I know they are old. I may have something to add that nobody else has said.

Until hurting anyone's feelings Have A Nice Time Thank you Robin I completely agree with the (not) hurting anyone's feelings bit... I feel it's not neccessy too, and doing such things never makes you happy either or diminishes the hurt... |

I have responded to threads when I know they are old. I may have something to add that nobody else has said. Hiya CatInIdaho, I think that's good as it adds more value/info to the thread, since it's a fresh perspective, view or opinion that wasn't mentioned by other members... |
