The fact that they are old may provide the answer.

I don't know why admin do not just lock all threads that have not been posted in for say 30 days and this would prevent the problem. 🙄

Some old threads can be revisited for the right reasons.

Yeah, I use one for clan recruitment, I bump it so I don't have to re-write all the wonderful ideas I had the first time, other folks added helpful suggestions like click on threads.

It's against the rules. Bumping old threads threatens the solitude and sanctity of RHP. You must have a very good reason to post a comment, for instance, some timely update, or maybe a new insight. You will see this constantly throughout the forums. Be respectful.

Providing it is for the right reasons I can't see any reason not to bump an old thread.

You can't write rules about it.

PRO TIP:

If you are bumping a heated and controversial thread for lulz or bumping it to cause confusion it will be closed by the mods.

If you are bumping an old thread because new info came up and nothing controversial is going on it will PROBABLY stay unless you've got a record of bumping old threads.

There is no way to type up all moderation decisions. I'm glad to answer questions and clear them up.

Want to cause confusion? Take someone's g2 pawn with a Bishop sacrifice when you're already behind in a chess game!~ There are no rules against THAT!~

Is 13 the minimum age expected of forum users or is that the audience age requirement?
