I’m not sure how to put this.
I would like to find a way that would keep old threads going. I’ve always thought that these questions died off too quickly. I mean they pretty much have a lifespan of a fruit fly and it’s one of the reasons this place often seems so dead. But if every time someone posts on an old question that question could be revived by automatically moving to page one where everyone could see it, things might get more lively and interesting. Anyway, more questions would appear, both the new ones and some of the old ones.
I don’t know anything about programming, so this may be impractical, but I think it could make things more interesting, especially on slow days. The incidents of just asking inane questions simply to break the boredom might be reduced as well. Our more interesting questions might be revived instead just by someone stumbling across it and answering it.
Times change, the population here has changed. Many people now here haven’t seen many of the best questions ever asked here.
