Not in all circumstances. If it's more than a couple years old, someone will likely make a comment about reviving ancient threads. In that case, I'd start a new thread, reference the old thread as background (or say something like, I know it's in this ancient thread, but...), and let the moderators combine if they wish. There's a fine and fuzzy line between a healthy thread revival and an ancient thread revival. But this post is just my opinion, based on what I've seen on the forums.
