    In theory, but I used to hate when people would get mad at threads getting brought back from the dead. If the person has a question relevant to the topic, why start a new thread?

      Not as if that was solved by instead having people tell OP to research the answer one of the many (now dead) discussions where the same question was asked!

      Exactly, some people would complain about bringing back zombie threads, while others whine that people didn’t use the search feature to find existing threads on the topic. You can’t win either way with forum gatekeepers.
