The Thread Shall Rise Again !

I think we have to consider more than the original post.  Another factor should be the last previous post.  If a zombie thread has been resurrected, and interesting comments made, then I think it is okay to post.  On the other hand, if the last post was several years ago, let it lie in peace.

To me, it's all about whatever the op was trying to get to.

"Show us your Heller builds" or something like that, however old, is not a Z thread. As long as a response makes sense, it only adds to the subject.

"Need help finding a Heller Spitfire canopy", is not worth responding to after say a year, and is a Z thread. If the poor guy hasn't found one by then, it's too late.

 For me, it depends if its relevant. Mustang re-opening the weirdest kit thread is relevant because we have new members and poeple may well have added new weird kits to the stash. And its getting replies.

Replying to somone who was asking about AM parts for a kit they were building 15 years ago, chances are the OP has moved on since then.

 

 

 

Thanks for those replies

I used to check the thread author's FSM bio for the date of the most recent post.

Unfortunately, I see that is no longer possible with the current FSM forum software

But... if I did want to get my wife to agree to a $229.00 kit... I would make her a nice dinner, watch a love story with her, maybe a foot massage and then...... beg!

believe me I would if I could, but alas it is no more!

Now I never said there was one, but if there were one, this would qualify. On another note, I wonder if he can revive ol' 229....

 

Bugs ya, doesn't it?

"Don't mention 229. I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it..."

If it hasn't been replied too for "years" yhen just make a new thread

 

 

 

 

Would a couple years be considered "years"? I just saw another thread that was revived and the last post was Nov 2013. And it's being called out as zombie thread. 

 

Edit: I know I will use my best judgement, and I don't expect to ever revive a thread. Just like to know everone else opinion.

Bish, 

That was what I was thinking too, "Show me your stash threads". Something along those lines.
