On the Revival of Old Posts

[Bikeric]

LOL
I do prefer the community here to the Toyota sites. Over there if you ask a question they tell you to read the Service Manual. They’re too old and crotchety to help you out. Here, we’re just old, which is actually kind of nice. Minimal teenagers hanging out on our Bronco lawn.

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

Yup, I think this is the answer. Just look at the recommendations at the bottom of this thread that I got:

Newest is from Oct 2022.

Maybe they switched to a new AI or algorithm to generate the similar threads based on topic relevance that is weighting recency less than before?

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

This is a really good point. I get immediately turned off by a thread with 2,700 replies (looking at you, every Kicker Key thread, suspension thread, or wheel and tire thread).

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

LOL, I noticed that too...

LOL, get ready...I'm pretty close to having "waded" through most of the suspension upgrade threads and am going to post/ask questions about my (sometimes waaaay misunderstood) interpretations...

Having said that, don't know where else I could go to possibly receive the level of education on all things Bronco, builds tips/tricks, wheeling in general..for all the faults this really is an informative and helpful forum...

I may be an OG at this point. Started Oct 2020. I had a few responses of did you use search in the beginning. Then someone mentioned using Google and not the forum search. Really helped the relevant search.

I Recently had someone ask for a link that was posted 10 before mine. You know what I didn't do? Point out that they can find it on the post. What did I do? Replied with a copy paste link to their question.

How much skin off your nose to just answer the question and not call people out on the fact that it has been covered extensively?

I roll my eyes many times on here when I see some questions but then I realize that not everyone has been on here every day for the last 2.5 years.

You can always post something like this

Think I wanna re-animate some of my old threads……

Particularly that one about the mythical Bronco6G Bourbon!

If I could only figure out how to find it again??? Hmmmm

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?

Last week I saw a post and thought boy I don't remember that one.

Guess who resurrected it......................Ford Motor Company bot to congratulate someone for buying a Bronco>>>>>>> IN 2021 !!!!!!!!!!

Even the OP said wow I forgot about this thread and posted his own Bronco then.

Oh, yeah! I totally forgot they were supposed to give us booze and all kinds of cool stuff. My dealer pretended to know nothing about it.

Use the Search button

But seriously search on post made by you and you can limit it to a time frame of when you though you posted it

I got a $500 gift card which was much better than any worthless swag

It shouldn't be that hard. Just click on your the "Threads" under your profile stats. There are only 17 threads that you started.

You and @Felix808 are hilarious! I was joking….. maybe.

Yeah, think I’ll do it just to see how the new folks around here like the joking and banter we used to do before we got our rigs.

Those were the best of times and the worst of times.
