BAS you shouldnt whine about bumped threads, sounds as bad as posters who cry about how this place isnt is good as it used to be. It's not very unbecoming of you. IMO the forum is what the members make it into, punishing posters for posting is bad idea in general but if you are going to go after people go after the people that take away not those who actually contribute or make an attemp to or mix up the monotony. Boo on you I say.

How can you not enjoy the bumps? I personally love them. Think its going overboard to delete them

Just set up a forum option that prevents threads that are older than say 6 months from being bumped.

In other words, write a script that flags each thread that is 6 months, 7 months (or whatever) and prevents them from having any new posts added...

Problem solved.

I've been saying this for years. When a bumped post is in a thread that contains a thread title unrelated to his new post I don't want to read about the new stuff. I want to read the stuff about the thread title. That's why I click it.

I agree with BAS. He's been bumping too much lately. So much so that I go elsewhere because I don't want to read topics that are years old only to find one new article totally unrelated to the thread title.

Easy fix. Trip Advisor, is a good example...close every post after a year.

Some of the bumps are Ok.... but would be better served as a new thread if they are that "newsworthy"

What if Pujols hit a home run off of Mike Mussina on his birthday?

I like to see the names and avatars of posters from way back...and the exchanges, some of those were interesting. It was a much different and simpler time.
