did no one notice this thread was from 2012 and brought up today by a new memeber with 1 post?
Hmmmm..
several people pointed it out, but in the grand scheme of things does it really matter? i answered anyways.......
I don't see the big deal either, if anyone has something to say or add about colored TP and Kleenex, does it matter when it was started?
well excuse me. It does matter. First of all, it would take hours and hours to go back to 2012 threads on this forum just to drag one up clogging up all the new posts. Secondly, the new poster who did seems to me must have come on this board and signed up specifically to "find" a 4 year old post. What if everyone took that much time to go back and drag up old threads? Oh yeah, they did on the old forums before the changes were made. You'd log on in the morning and find page after page of old threads dragged up by one person who posted something that day just to clog up the forums. So even though this was one this time, how do you know another "troll" isn't/wasn't testing the waters to see if they could do it and then do it all night long.
And people who do that get called out on it all the time. No need to be so snarky about it.
ETA: I went back and read through this thread and did see at least 5 people who pointed that out. Both of you posted after those posts but only when I posted it, you decided to make snarky remarks. Why?
According to others posts here, it seems possible to search a topic, and then have threads listed to which one can post. It doesn't necessarily take hours to find an old post, but can be stumbled upon quite innocently and responded to before one notices the dates.
How about rather than just assume that the OP is up to shennaigans, you just answer the topic or move on, without all the snark and accusations in your tone.
It's a post about Kleenex colors for heaven's sake. Quit making a federal case of it, until something 'bad' really does present itself.
so I just saw that an entire thread was devoted to posters bringing up old threads from 4-5 years ago and many of the people responding on that thread feel like I do. In fact one poster said you could be banned for bringing up all those threads and mentioned that some of the posters are not even active on these boards anymore, like the OP of this one.,
So while I merely made an observation on my first post, and then responded to yours, I'd hardly call that making a federal case out of it or being snarky.
You OTOH are here it seems all the time and give constant liturgies to posters that at times go on for post after post while you reply to all of them.
It's interesting that when someone responds to another's post, even if only once as I did, they are told to move on, get over it, quit making a federal case out of it, yet when the accuser does it, it's acceptable.
And as for someone putting something in a search bar and thus finding an old thread, yeah, if they are specifically trying to find something, but it seems pretty odd that a new poster would type in kleenex in a search bar to see if there are any posts on that subject and then make one post. and regist specifically to talk about the burning topic of kleenex and then leave after one post.
Frankly, I don;'t need your approval on what I think or my suspicions on anything or anyone, I;ve had my say now perhaps we can all go about our business.
I'm done with P.C. Just say what you mean and mean what you say. It's easier.
