Newbies bump old threads because they don't look at the time and they'll still get a response from members, it's not like a chat room where their messages might not get read.
I think the only place where bumping an old thread is acceptable is when the thread was created by you to suggest a project you were looking at/working on and it got some good interaction.
Topic: Bumping old threads or topics? (Topic not updated) - page 2. (Read 317 times)
I created this thread because as I saw here in Forum that newbies/older users bump old Threads so that they can reply, without knowing that thread is created a long time ago.
If we want to reply to that specific topic we must look First at the date when the topic is created, we must read the reply above to avoid duplicating the reply, and last we must read the whole thread to prevent off-topic replies.
can we bump the topic even if it's created a year ago?
In my opinion, there are two things why we should/shouldn't bump old threads.
First, it depends on the topic, for example, if that topic is not useful or all about asking then we must not go further or let it active for how many years if the topic has been already answered. Or your reply May report as Spam.
2nd if the topic is very useful as an update for the statistics and activity of the forum then we must bump it until the present time.
If you have an idea why some users still humping old Threads then Free to comment.
[Edited] as I observed earlier here in the forum after I created This thread that many newbies bump old threads is this a new trick? Or what?
I saw not once, twice but it's almost 10 times I encounter this.
