Discussion Necromancy

I've been a member for less than a year but I do like it when one of my older discussions suddenly comes back to life, four or five months after I started it. When one person responds to an old discussion it moves back up to a higher place in the lists of discussions or similar discussions, so more people find it and respond to it. This has happened to a few of my own discussions and it has helped two of them to get a hundred responses, and new responses keep on adding a little to my earnings. I have seen an old discussion, started two years ago, which now has 850 responses on it, because when it gets revived with one new response, more people see it and it keeps on getting more responses to it.

yeah im surprised that they dont already have a way to just retire old discussions and i wish they would so i wouldnt have to worry about some past answers haunting me haha

I am a digger of old bones. Especially if there hasn't been any response or if a br hasn't been chosen. I don't see anything wrong or bad about it, and sometimes the older discussions are better than the newer ones:)

Hie Darkdancer, I was just reading some paranormal romance novel and your title topic necromancy caught my attention and I thought it was leading to that . I think it a great idea to mix the old with the new. I have revived some of my topics, they were actually not that old, only about a few months. Then I was looking for some answers and got some responses although not the answers that I wanted but I appreciated as much. I could imagine those who posted their discussions long ago and got them revived by other fellow mylotters would be grateful too. And it would be interesting, some might even get the answers that they were looking for and a fresh viewpoint too. I think no discussions are not too old to be revived & discussed all over again Cheers,

Hi DarkDancer, I strongly think that reviving an old discussion wether two weeks or two years is cheating, because you already earned points for the discussions so why revie it again and gain more points for the old? maybe I'm thinking all wrong but thats how I feel. Tamara

I like when old discussions get revived. It always makes me happy when a discussion I posted a while ago gets revived, it shows that your ideas went past a day, and into the future as well. If you want new, just look at the first ten pages under "new" haha, but I'll still like to revive old discussions
