Old/Dead threads

[Just Blue]

It seems that the spammers like to visit this site very late at night/very early in the morning and necropost. Remember to check the date on the threads you post to.

Thanks for the reminder. I think we have all forgotten to take a quick look at dates from time to time.

Add me to that list. Sometimes I find myself reading a whole thread and preparing a response before noticing the dates.

I think we've all fallen into that trap on occasion.

But just the last week or so there's been someone going around opening threads from as early as 2005. There's been a LOT more than usual.

I wish I had the power of the cornfield here.

Yes, there has been quite a bit. And several regular members have been responding to them...I just wanted to remind everyone to check the dates.

Back in the early 80's I was friends with Eddie Richardson, and this was about the same time that graffiti was starting to be sprayed on anything that was standing still in London. Someone decided to spray one of Eddies properties, and when they caught the miscreant he was discouraged by placing his hands on the curb and tapping them lightly with a sledgehammer until they made a squelching sound.
No more graffiti ever again, so this may also be a good remedy for hackers and such like.
I miss the old days and old ways.
