New thread or bump an old one?

[CrazyCatLady]

Thought I should check the board's etiquette on whether I should be creating new threads or bumping old ones if I have something that might fit in there? Xxx

I'm not sure Maybe:

If the old thread is very long, and besides you can think of a different or much better thread title, or what you have to say is somewhat different in some sense, then consider creating a new thread.

If the old thread is not so long, and what you have to say is not so radically different to what have been said already, then consider bumping the old one.

Thanks. That makes sense. Just wanted to make sure there were no rules against bumping old threads...or that I wouldn't get in trouble for starting new ones xxx

There are rules against double posting...

Maybe you should bump that rules thread.

I like it when people bump old threads, it can unearth some very interesting discussions that I'd forgotten about

 

[KLS52]

Me too...and I would think with regard to VV, none of the threads are all that old yet, anyway.

I love bumping.

I don't like when threads that are 5+ years old or something are bumped and the OP is long gone but I'm not annoyed when threads earlier than that are bumped. I just find it pointless to bump a ridiculously old thread just to give advice to someone who has obviously not going to see it since they abandoned the site.

^ I don't even mind that. Even if the OP isn't around, it'll help someone else who never saw the original thread

I love bumping.
