| Topic: Reading Old Threads.... | |
|---|---|
|
|

Some times, when I have too much time on my hands  , I try to read threads where the topic subject is interesting, funny or has that something which caught my eye/attention... And often, the date of posting/replying will be like a year ago or even couple of years ago lol... Would YOU respond/reply to a thread which is old or seems to have run its course? Knowing that you may not receive any replies or further conversation in that thread? (because you came along after the conversation finished a year ago lol) ... I have posted on old threads but in my opinion I would agree it is better to start a new thread on the same topic, rather than repost a very old thread, and see fresh ideas and opinions from current Minglers on the subject. |

I agree to you Duttoneer . New Minglers must be given a Chance to post their opinionas well , becoz each persons level of Mind may not be the Same. It varies from person to person . |

I have posted on old threads but in my opinion I would agree it is better to start a new thread on the same topic, rather than repost a very old thread, and see fresh ideas and opinions from current Minglers on the subject. IMO, I think its better to revive an old thread with many replies. New minglers can always jump in and post their thoughts on the subject but also have the opportunity to read what has already been posted. The age of a thread does not diminish good wisdom on a subject. Sharing wisdom enriches us all. Sometimes enlightenment can be found by considering different views. Sometimes old replies can be very funny. Sometimes a new reply can open discussion in new direction, with new considerations. |

Fishing
Fun game. Actually 2 different versions but I don't think there are enough (different) people on at one time any more to make the second version fun. The potential of "Flooding" at times can be a p.i.t.a. caveat. |

That's true, but if you are going to comment on a very old post it may be the poster has left Mingle, so it does not give them a chance to reply to your comment, which is perhaps a little unfair to them. Do many Minglers read every post when a thread has a large number of posts, I must admit I don't, just the original OP and the most recent few dozen or so, but that's just me. |

Obviously if they left they are not interested in discussing their subject here. read every post when a thread has a large number of posts, I must admit I don't Neither do I but I do read enough to get and idea of the subject/topic at hand. Just because the OP has left the forums doesn't mean the topic isn't still interesting. Many of the threads with the highest number of comments have to do with issues which stay current. EX: the gun debate or abusive relationships. On some threads which have been revived you can see the changes in attitudes over the life of the thread. You can also see the similarity of older posts to newer ones. Sometimes new ideas are offered which can make someone actually change their minds on a subject. Its all very entertaining. |
