Re: resurrection vs. new thread

Both Ed and Andy Baker make very good points. I loved the thread the other day about congratulating CD on making the move to a web based BBS system and I found it hilarious that before the rumour mill was actually a physical piece of board. No matter how light-hearted or how serious the thread brought back is, it is still a piece of FIRST history. Karthik's recently been talking about the historical side of FIRST and how many teams either lack in appreciation of it or are not fully aware of it. I am not saying that bringing back old threads is a means to an end of this awareness, but it is something that definitely deserves some merit and by no means deserves to have negative reputation attached to it.

No one is flooding the portal with resurrecting old threads and most of the time people who post in these old threads dont simply reply with a one word answer. In fact, shouldn't we be happy that people are spending the time and effort to deeply root and explore through CD in the hopes of picking up a wise answer or two? Even if people's appearances have changed in that time span
