Oh the irony Grin

Whenever anyone posts "it's half term" I'm always inclined to think it's bored teachers, not teenagers.

Allenetall · 28/05/2024 16:12

Of course you are right! It just seems to happen with bizarre regularity... Perhaps it's parents losing their minds?!

It's half term...

I've never really understood that train of thought. Is MN really a site that's on the radar of school aged people let alone one they'd be interested in trolling. Most of them probably haven't even heard of it.

Surely there must be more interesting sites for that age group to annoy

MermaidEyes · 28/05/2024 16:03

I've got a load too but no one appears to have actually posted on them in years. Very strange!

CostelloJones · 28/05/2024 15:57

This is just page 1 of my AIBU but they are all appearing active with no new posts?

sorry I really didn’t want to resurrect one it appears I have fallen into the trap of whatever troll is doing it.

I have reported and will stop posting on any!

Yep it’s really odd. All the Zombie threads don’t have any new messages but are appearing in Active.

It’s not just you- there’s another with Zombie in the title not posted on since 2021, and it’s in my top 10

It's getting boring now zombie posts

This has got to be a first - a zombie thread resurrected moaning about resurrecting other zombie threads 😂

Totally! It’s like a freaky hall of mirrors! 🤯

Bobbybobbins · 10/11/2022 22:09

This resurrection is very meta 😆

Diverging · 10/11/2022 22:07

Haha this is funny.
They could lock threads if they didn’t want it to happen.

DripDripDripSugar · 10/11/2022 21:48

Not sure how they can ban someone for doing something that is permitted by their own forum. If they want to stop it they should put something in place to prevent it happening.

@DripDripDripSugar That's like saying people shouldn't be banned for posting racist remarks because the forum enables them to do so...it's totally flawed logic.

GoodnightGentleBoris · 10/11/2022 21:51

They locked the thread tonight which was about paying for tap water in restaurants in 2008!

FOJN · 10/11/2022 21:49

I saw one of these threads where the most recent poster was just commenting that the thread had come up in "I'm on" because they had posted on it years ago. I wonder if it is a single poster resurrecting zombie threads or a glitch at MNHQ. I haven't had a look to see if there is a thread in site stuff which might shed more light on it.

PeekabooAtTheZoo · 10/11/2022 21:49

Presumably they are making new Gmail accounts and using those to create new MN accounts faster than MN can ban all their accounts.
They really need a hobby.

NadjaCravensworth · 10/11/2022 21:47

Why aren't @mnhq not locking the threads

Loics · 10/11/2022 21:45

It's annoying, but I've said before that I do feel a bit sorry for them. Not hugely, but imagine what your life must be like if you get your jollies resurrecting old threads in MN - not all that great.
It's so unoriginal as well, not even a witty troll that makes you laugh, just posting crap on old threads.
