If you're going to bump then please offer why you are bumping it... News that confirm whats stated on the front page? Because I consider much on the front page dated/debunked besides the comments on Dark skined Syrians vs lighter skinned ones.

What's particularly been successfully refuted? And I don't mean settle sided opinion.
What's wrong with a bump up for no reason at all? Why micromanage? If no one's interested the thread will hibernate.
Meanwhile threads locked for security, before Rey got full power, and threads now in the renamed forum that differs from its old use need 'liberation'.

Bumping very old threads slows down activity and detract from relevant or hot topics. Most silent bumps regress into "hibernation" which essentially makes the action of bumping old threads both frivolous and cumbersome.
~New posters and lurkers likely won't read through pages of very old threads because of a bump with no commentary. ~If conversations presented in old threads are dated the new guys who would waste time reading through the thread just wasted a substantial amount of time, and or would likely add to a resolved or unnecessary discussion. ~Vets and usuals will likely ignore the threads once they see nothing new/interesting has been added in years or months. ~New and growing threads will get bumped down in the forums index resulting in less clicks despite worthy discussion topics.
All in all it's annoying Most forums prohibit necroposting... We're just asking for a lil relevant commentary, that's all.Posts: 1781 | From: New York | Registered: Jul 2016

You can bump old threads. But give a REASON for why you are bumping them. Why it was important. Do you have new ideas? Did something new come out that further confirms that old thread's talking points? Because just bumping old threads for the heck of it is lowkey spamming.
