Most people don't use OUIJA Boards to determine if any useful and interesting threads have appeared over the last 3-4 hours.
People with a life actually are grateful when really useful threads are reposted, since they can't be on line 24/7.

Once upon a time, when a reply was made, the original thread actually got bumped back to the top of the "Browse" list. That hasn't been true for a long time now.

Even the admins are clueless about the obvious.

Just give it a rest!

Indeed! So another way of looking at it is that providing a link to an earlier thread provides those interested in the topic with an easy means to visit that thread for further information/discussion. I wouldn't necessarily consider that a bad thing or take it as 'complaining' (unless disparaging remarks are made at the same time).

This is why FR has a very good search function. You should try it out some time. Works great.
