Yes, I'm yelling
I just got zombie threaded! 
It's bloody ridiculous.
You don't always remember to check the blasted date on a damn thread. If a thread is in active convos, it is natural to assume it's not FOURTEEN BLOODY YEARS OLD! 
Can't you lock threads after a certain period of non posting? I mean, if a thread's been dead for 3 years - do you think people want to start up on it again?
Or at least attempting to post should trigger a "ZOMBIE THREAD" alert.
"This thread has been dead for a very long time. We have all moved on. Do you really want to bring it back to life?"
