Er...correct me if I'm wrong, but I understood from the forum rules that the "no bumping" thing was a directive against posting "Bump" or something like that just to move a thread back up and keep it at the top of the queue.

Is the rule actually forbidding bumping an old thread even if you have something to contribute to the discussion that was going on? Or should we be starting new threads every time we want to discuss something whose original thread was some date or older?

no, it's better to bump and old thread than for ppl to keep making new threads all the time...that's for sure

I'd like to let it be known that little pisses me off more than the incessant requests for locks (that means you, Chromer and madmatt). If I think it needs to be locked, I'll lock it, mmkay?

That aside, bumping is much more acceptable in CT due to how much slower this forum is and how debates and other critical thinking isn't something that often "dies".

However, a three year bump is a little extreme. The gay marriage issue is still around, but it's certainly changed since then, as have people's opinions, possibly. I think it'd be better just to start fresh rather than have everyone who's new here go back and read all those posts from members who aren't even here to rebut. So, if anyone wants to make a new thread, they can go for it.

Lastly, the only person who contributed to the discussion today was the guy who bumped the thread. I'd rather see that than the half-dozen spam posts that followed. This is a warning to you all; next time will likely be a ban. Stay on topic or don't post at all.
