6 year old threads to be restarted? Especially when the origianl is goady in the extreme?

Just dropping in to quickly answer the question about having a zombie thread warning at the top of threads.
We did actually have exactly this back in the dim and distant past but feedback from users was that it was off-putting, especially to new members arriving on a thread, perhaps via Google, for the first time.
It made people feel like they couldn't or shouldn't get involved with a thread, it seemed. So we decided then to move the warning to the end so you only saw it if you were actually posting on a zombie thread.
We do see the argument for warning at the top of threads, too, but just thought you might be interested to know how that came about.
We will pass your other suggestions over! As ever, we can't make any promises.

Hi all,
We find that in leaving threads open, people can return to post updates and such.
We really have no plans to change this at the moment - so sorry.
If a thread happens to be reactivated after a long period of time and is causing stress, please do report and we'll be more than happy to take a look!
