AI Thread Summary
Users express a desire for a warning system that alerts them before posting in old threads, as simply checking the date is insufficient. There is a suggestion that this feature could prevent unnecessary revivals of outdated discussions. Some participants humorously propose unconventional ideas, like using olfactory cues to identify old threads. The conversation highlights the need for better user awareness regarding thread age. Implementing such a warning could enhance forum engagement and maintain relevant discussions.

It would be nice if you received a warning that a thread is “old“ before you resurrect it.

Maybe the next generation of computer and phones could incorporate olfactory stimulation? Old threads could be [stale]sniffed first[/stale]?
