I am impressed that every now and then an old thread pops up with a new comment. Some threads are 6 years, 7 years or older. Nice to know Hubbers are still interested enough to comment.
Problem is, a lot of the info in those threads is way out of date. New people could get entirely the wrong idea.
Most of those revitalized old threads are the "Name three things to do with your toe jam" type. Hubbers are still bored. Is that something to celebrate?
Personally, I find it rather irritating Kenna. Most forums have an automatic thread closure after a specific period of time. Only wish HP would do the same.
I agree, most of the time it's spammers reviving threads that should have remained dead and buried. I think archiving old threads and making them read only is a fantastic idea - but we shouldn't be commenting on threads that old. Start a new one already.
I beg to differ. New people and see what HP did in the past, so understand the platform better. Each individual is on a journey in HP. They can learn and create.
The thing is sometimes the fourms show me stuff from years ago mixed in with current stuff. I know better to than to comment but it is like the system wants you to or at least read old stuff.

Are There Any Rules?The Forums allow the community to complement each individual Hubber’s talents and interests. We hope they provide a living...

I just noticed that Matthew replied to a question from a Hubber and immediately closed the threadThere used to be an unspoken policy on the forums - a thread was only closed if things got too heated and unpleasant. I hope that policy is not going to change, for several reasons. For one thing,...

Bump our own threads 5 or 6 times within a few hours just to get people to comment on them? (When no one else is paying attention to that thread)

I was just curious. I have not seen a lot of hubbers that have been here at Hubpages for over two years..perhaps they are too busy hubbing away!

Dear staff, is there anything that can be done to the feed where I can choose not to receive notice of hubs shared by other hubbers? There are people who share every hub they read. If I want to read a hub or follow someone I will. I don't need to see all those hubs of people I don't even know in my...
