On the Revival of Old Posts

[KABQ]

New User: Has anyone done x?

Old User: This has been done to death. Use the search function.

New User uses search function, asks question in relevant post.

Old User: You know this post is two years old, right?



Seriously, though, there have been a ton of old posts brought back from the dead recently. Anyone know why?

Maybe people are figuring out how to use the search function.

Bringing back old posts is way better than cluttering the forum up with unnecessary posts on existing topics.

The mods might be consolidating stuff too.

Better to have all the info in one place rather than scattered about.

Seems to be a lot of people on here lately even with older join dates but just now getting their Bronco’s or for that matter just getting them ordered and wondering how long until it’s delivered and why aren’t they getting scheduled.

Yes, and it’s one of those conspiracy theories.

I often point out how hilarious they are and honestly like seeing older posts either hold up or how they don’t to the changes in time.

In the end, think we vets shouldn’t get too upset when the n00bs get in here and either get lost or confused, or don’t pay attention.

If you’re just joining this train, there’s obviously a difference between them and us as far as enthusiasm, so think it just comes with that part as well.

These are the guys who I was for telling about 3 years ago; they see us, see how ”cool” we look, then want to look like us. I like it when they DO like us and go wheel, get into it, and help to further the culture.

Hell, all Jeepers ain’t zealots telling the gospel up on the mountain for damn sure.

New User: Revives 2 year old thread offering what they think is relevant and useful info in order to help OP

OP: Banned

 

[kodiakisland]

Sure are a lot of banned members here. Wish we had started a RIP thread with the reason for the ban.

I hear you OP, perhaps it's with Ford finally getting Bronco's out the door and into more people's hands it's just inevtible? Or, the 1st round of orders were to the seasoned wheelers who were waiting to pounce on getting an order in, and now more mainstream folks are arriving? While I've been here for a while, (checking out the "new" Bronco), it wasn't until recently I decided to downsize from the Raptor to a new Bronco. While I use the search function frequently it can lead to disappointing results and when you have (very relevant- but 100 pg. threads) it's really hard to try and read through all the "stuff" in those threads (an example - suspension upgrades). Nothing is ever perfect and I think some of us have grown a bit critical and quick to jump on noobs who are just coming into this forum. This is NOT aimed at you sir (OP) as you are genuinely asking a question... IMO, I'm happy to have new ideas/questions coming into the forum as many folks fade after getting their Bronco build honed in. Just my .02 but we were all noobs at one point

Better yet we could have a whole "banned from B6g" forum! And truncate all the old threads there!

 

[Brian’sBronco]

The older threads being brought back up don’t usually bother me if they are relevant to the current discussion. The posts that seem to irritate me are the ones that can be in an existing thread already on the 1st page and then you have people replying to that one and we two discussions about the same thing.

The similar threads at the bottom gets me sometimes, you scroll, click and bam
