Dead Thread Protocol ..?

[mab19]

I agree keep "bumping" please.  I love it when an old thread suddenly pops up again and you realise you have missed it before.  We have some wonderful recipes on here.

I agree also with the "bumping" old threads, that way I can catch up on a lot of threads that were happening before I joined the forum

keep bumping, i love finding things to cook

This is one forum with no dead threads, only ones that are having a nap waiting for that wakeup call . . . . .

I can remember when that message first came up for me, not knowing much about forums at that time, I just sat here wondering whether to post there or not.  I decided why not, I can only get told off if I've done the wrong thing or my posting removed

When a dead thread is revived it shows exactly as GF said. I've been known to spend ages looking for something old on the forum, but now I am learning to do Judy's trick of googling it and most times it comes up for me. 

I'd love a 'save' box attached to the forum where I could save little hints etc. I put recipes into Snap Recipes and often bookmark hints but both of those are growing enormously.

I love it when threads are bumped and not only cooking ones. I remembered a discussion on vacuum cleaners and referred to it when I was purchasing mine. I bumped it to see if those that posted were still happy with their choices.
It does get me wondering about members that haven't posted in a while like Decadent Dot, Katya etc. I hope they doing well and that it's only that life is busy, keeping them away from the forum.

Actually I looked up when they were last active - Dot in February and Katya yesterday so that's good. Hope this doesn't seem stalkerish? Just hope all is well.

I was thinking about decadent dot the other day and wondering how she was getting on.

No not starkerish but just concerned.

I agree that we miss some of our 'old regulars', especially those we know have health problems.  Check in when you can guys, we often think of you.

I must admit to Decadent dot being in my thoughts in the last few months.

[gertbysea]

I see Decadant Dots email addy is hidden . Ummmm wonder if a moderator might send her an email?

Great to know, thanks ..  I'll happily post away then and hopefully bump some new old things for others to re/try too! 

[Cuilidh]

I often think of Decadent Dot, Katya and Andie(senji) - although she pops on now and then, and there was also a gay couple, I think in Germany, the Australian partner was hilarious with his stories, but haven't heard from him in such a long time either ... and there must be many others whose names have been lost between the cracks in my grey matter but who used to post regularly.

No sooner said than done Gert.

DD was last on the forum in the middle of February this year.
