By the looks of it one or more PBP's are at a loose end!

Yeah. Just report them and hope someone with actual authority to ban is still awake.

Manchestermummax3 · 08/11/2022 23:18

It's the same person doing it on each one. I mean, I've had many a boring nights over the years but jheez!

WomanWomenGirlsFemale · 08/11/2022 23:18

2012 seems to be a favourite year for them 🤡

drpepperwhatstheworstthatcouldhappen · 08/11/2022 23:18

Imagine being that bored and pathetic.

TattiePants · 08/11/2022 23:20

I just keep reporting them - their username is a bit of a giveaway! They must have an incredibly boring life to have nothing better to go than resurrect 10 year old threads on MN.

I've done a few. What a sad little person they must be to trawl through so many.

they just resurrected one from 2007......

Gallathea · 08/11/2022 23:30

Can someone explain to me what custy / custardo is about?

I read the page with the raging text message 3x before I realised it was a zombie and I still don't get it

Orangepolentacake · 08/11/2022 23:31

The one about a fight over MSN should have alerted me to how old the threads are….

Gingernaut · 08/11/2022 23:31

2007 theads have been resurrected by this gimp and people have been dumb enough to reply

The Active Threads board is swamped

No need to insults, do you really read the date on every thread, every single time?

Would be useful if MN could auto colour threads over a year old or something

Gallathea · 08/11/2022 23:33

@Lentil63 don't know about pbp
Zombie is a thread that's been brought back from the dead aka really old

They post a warning at the bottom of the thread saying it’s an old thread.

@Lentil63 PBP = previously banned poster

picklemewalnuts · 08/11/2022 23:34

@Lentil63
previously banned poster

Thread that was v old/dead, been resurrected.

Maybe it's shows more clearly on your device but again...I think a lot of people react to the post content, not the detail in the page /post format

picklemewalnuts · 08/11/2022 23:36

Doesn't show on the app.

Tothemoonandbackx · 08/11/2022 23:37

It's Niteewotcha, on all the ends of the old threads putting YABU/ YANBU, bit of a cunt really 😂

Strangerthings4NW · 08/11/2022 23:40

I just don’t get the point of it, what’s he trying to do?

Tothemoonandbackx · 08/11/2022 23:43

@Strangerthings4NW liven up it's sad little monday evening no doubt 😂😂

picklemewalnuts · 08/11/2022 23:45

Attention seeking.

And because the correct NightWotcha upset him.

Gingernaut · 09/11/2022 00:12

drpepperwhatstheworstthatcouldhappen · 08/11/2022 23:34

The first person to reply to an old thread will get the warning before they press 'Post'

Everyone after that poster, won't see it as the last post is fresh.

Funnily enough, yes. And the OP's updates. So I don't get sucked into a zombie thread, repeat what the first 509 posters have or miss something OP has said that changes the point / tone of a thread.
