AIBU To Request That Zombie Threads Are Not Resurrected?

[mrscrimbobash]

Can it be a permanent sticky or put in the 'Talk Guidelines'?

It's bloody infuriating. Same threads EVERY year.

If threads which get repeated all the time were banned there would be no threads. Mumsnet would die.

I don't think MrsCrimbo means not discussing the same topics, that's inevitable. I think she means posting on very old threads.

No I don't mean repeat threads, I mean Zombie threads.

Zombie Thread= Threads that are a year old or even older and somebody searches the archive and posts on them which bumps them up to 'Active Threads' again.

Some old threads are worth resurrecting occasionally though. They're very funny.

I will hunt you down and bury you in s if that happens kim!

Classics or relevant threads that are being discussed fair enough, but a lot of it is just dreary old day to day things with new posters coming on to say 'Oh me too!'

I wish that threads could be locked after a period of time, it's easy enough to link to a relevant thread rather than bump an old one.

Thought you meant actual zombies. Mumsnet wouldn't be the same without discussing zombie plans.

Sorry to disappoint Scrubber. There's a poster called Zombie who often posts in a zombie style- t'is very funny.

I posted on one last night, didn't realise it had been resurrected. I agree, it's really annoying.

Apart from the one where someone posted the only reply to their own thread like a year later, that was quite funny.

Can we have a ban on people telling us how to post on/use Mumsnet please?

No, I won't always read all 7 million pages of a thread before I post.

Yes, I will sometimes resurrect an old thread if it seems relevant.

Yes, I will only post on AIBU, Relationships and Chat because they're the only boards I'm interested in.

Just bookmarking this thread for next year.

Oh it was a pram review wasn't it Schro?- my sides hurt from laughing. She never came back either even though we tried to hunt her down!!

Proud- Naw.puts foot down

Yeah it was, bloody hilarious. :o

How embarrassing would that be!

I just went through every Pram thread this year and can't find it. Thought it would be obvious due to number of posts.

I know it has been linked on threads latelyish. Will try and have a search.

Oh no, i've been sucked in by Classics. No present wrapping will get done tonight!

I trust IamtheZombie has been consulted on this?

I can't find it.

And there is no way I am even going to venture into classics, I'll still be there on Xmas day if I do!

She'll likely be along soon anyway Bumping, the last time I shouted ZOMBIE!! on a zombie thread she appeared on it right after me!

Yes I despise it when zombie thread are reanimated! Always catches me out

Wonders if milkbottle has been waiting in the wings for three years just to make this post...

Why do some Zombie threads have a Zombie warning on them (from MNHQ) and others don't? Does anyone know?

YANBU

😆😆I normally get cross at zombie threads but this had me in stitches.
