Just that really, it's annoying me more than it should

I did this when I joined mumsnet in 2004. It was because I googled the subject, found a relevant thread and didn't look at the dates. As a newbie I didn't know about Zombue threads and was shy to start one of my own.

There was one over the weekend where the same poster went around reanimating stuff.

What I have noticed is that it's more often than not the really long AIBU threads that get reanimated, you don't really get a thread with four posts on suddenly revived.

Who knows BIWI? Personally I can't tell one User2316546541321 from another

Is it always the same poster?

They think they are funny. Then they get to watch and laugh while everyone berates a long gone OP from 2012 or before.

Then people argue that 'on other forums' it's totally the done thing to resurrect dead threads from years ago and they can't see what the problem is.

But at least I get to post this

Seriously I just don't get what they get out of it, very strange..

Because whoever does it is a prize twat and should be ignored

Probably because they know it's annoying and are hoping to get a rise/see a thread like this.
