Honestly, in getting tired of 1+ year posts being bumped, rather than bumping a dead thing, make a thread about it. Surely there might not be rules about it, but it would be better for the rest of us.
Could it be that its just im used to the old thread rule that it applies for me here? But nontheless, when I browse the modding discussions and I see a new post, I go "Oooh" and I see the latest reply only because of a person asking something absurd.Personally if the topic is the same, it should be in the same thread which then proves they atleast research for it. Most just make new threads and get told "there is a thread on that already". Can't win.
I mean sure it would make sense, but what if there was no answer, what then?
