There's this rule that is enforced that bars bumping old threads. I disagree with this enforcement there are hardly any fixed time frame for us to consider whether a thread is old or not.
As such, I take this opportunity to ask that this old thread rule be abolished in the new revision of forum rules.
There are old threads that are many years or months old and are still being talked about yet I find it highly surprising that the moderators do not close these threads on the basis that is it old. Take for example, the thread "7 years ago" started by snk in the past. Its been more than a year, yet there are still people commenting on it, and it is not closed.
Closing old threads assumes falsely that the content of it is irrelevant when this is not true. This has caused many users to start and restart threads on the same topic again and again, again and again, again and again, again and again. Just look at Ask a Weapons Expert for example - how many threads are there about "Bar or Minigun" or " Bar or GM4". These threads are so repetitive as a result of this old thread rule. It has made searching for specific threads difficult because the search engine would say there are too many topics with they keyword.
Repeal this old thread rule, I reiterate again.
Again and again, again and again, again and again, again and again...
