Why the old threads being resurrected?!

I think it's because nobody was putting new threads on. I kept the site on my computer all day yesterday and there wasn't much activity. Todays better anyway.

It's not rocket science.

No It's ROCKET MICK, our Spiritual Leader

If people want to know what people's Top 10 Bands are they don't need to spend 3hrs going back through the archives to see if it's been asked before. They should take a bold step, and ask it for themselves. It's not difficult.

then you run the risk of people saying WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE!#@!!@#!@#!@#!!@#!@$$%@#!$

Can't win for losing ;)

I seem to recall someone having a wee rant about it a coupla weeks go during the main thrust of the top3 thread invasion, may even have been some of the wags above.

BTW Liam, for once you and I are in totl agreement

some of those old threads have posts from me from a year or so before it says i registered.

i'm playing with your minds!

Yes, I admit I've resurrected a few old threads.

It's because I find it interesting to look back at what people were saying 3 or 4 years ago. Sometimes, I've felt I have an opinion that can be added to the thread.

Interesting to who exactly?

Me.

Explain it in words of one syllable so that we can all understand. WHY ON EARTH do you need to know what any of us were doing with our social lives - re: what gigs have you got coming up? - thread from three years ago. That's one hell of a pointless exercise Mr Owens.

You said you'd forgotten about the Glastonbury play. I'd remembered it getting good reviews. By chance, I found it being mentioned in an old thread. So now I can ask someone about it, and I can read what people thought of things at the time.

To you, Mr. Jarvis, it may be pointless. That's fair enough. But to me, I find it interesting to read things like this. It's a version of history, one that is rarely discussed in history textbooks.

get a bird and do some goosin.

that's why i never log on, on the weekend!!

To be honest who really gives a fuck what threads are posted. Tescos, Top 3 or whatever I don't mind. Its only a messageboard ffs.

So why feel the need to resurrect it? I come on here for a bit escapism. I don't need to be reminded what I was doing, or who with, three or four fcuking years ago. That should be of no interest to you whatsoever. Or what anyone here was doing with their lives. If you're interested in seeing what gigs people are going to, you started a new thread, you don't waste half your day going back over old threads to see if someone's asked the same question again, surely.

What you were doing 3 or 4 years ago is not of interest to me. It is the threads that deal with opinions from the time that is of interest to me.

For example, there were threads about Doves, where people were asking if they were going to be huge. I find things like that interesting. Views from the time. It would probably be different nowadays. Probably the same with an Interpol thread, or the book thread.

You mentioned the George Michael thread. I thought there were some cracking replies on that thread. So I put my own in. Saved time from starting another thread, and kept all the witty replies.

You come onto NOOL for escapism. That's fair enough. But I want to explore the history of it a bit more.

Then I must have been thinking of something else then. I stand corrected.

The voice of reason.

and here i am, thinking lickmodem from tampa had actually returned.

Although, to be fair Christoper, no one really cares about what you think about threads of 4 years ago.

Take a chill pill guys...

Maybe the resurrected threads are bringing back memories people want to forget, maybe that's the problem....

Ah, Liam. I was wondering when you were going to rear your head.

You once used the term 'I don't seek popularity' and I think that applies here.

I don't care what you think about anything. Case closed.

Yes, but you see the thing is, i dont post constant shite or offer my opinions on a football transfer from 3 and a half years ago.

If your going to bother posting at least try and say something that is relevant in the slightest.

And if you think that anything of the threads that you posted on from 2002 are of any king of historical relvance, then you need yer head seeing to.

You are priceless.

For fucks sake, it is a messageboard. It's not a life or death situation.

What's the reference to KING ? I hated that band
