    I dont think there is a limit..
    I just grave dug a whole bunch of games.. xD
    Its worth grave digging threads, especially when they still have potential to have fun on or chat on.
    Just dont grave dig a drama thread. xD

    Personally, I don't date anyone past 45. I mean, they have to be able to get it up, you know.

    But they're active all the time, it's not that they are inactive for years and then someone brings it back to life

    Ah I see what you mean. Well then, if it's on the first page of the forum, then it's fair game to post. Guides are exempt from this rule if you have a question regarding them. If you do have something useful to say on an old, then there is no age limit.

    It depends really. A forum with 1,000 new posts a day--you're not likely to see old threads cropping up again, especially if they're on page 2 or 3. A slow-moving forum could tolerate a higher threshold of threads being revived, in practicality. However, when you revive a thread that's 1-2 years old, usually the original posters aren't there anymore--so I guess in some sense you can always have a "new" rehashed discussion with new people. But there's usually nothing else to say at that point, with everyone making their points.
