Maybe a separate click through, required prior to activating any new account, with really subtle wording along the lines of:
DON’T FUCKING BUMP YEARS OLD THREADS TO SAY “ME TOO”, DUMBASS!
Cuz this appears to be a trend. An annoying trend. That should stop. Sooner rather than later.
Oak hath spoken. So mote it be.
Would you like the message to say:
KEEP OFF OAKMINSTER’S LAWN TOO
as well?
Speak up, I can’t hear you! 
Now that the question has been answered I’ll report this to Oakminster, he can close this thread.
Sure, we could add it. But the people who need to read it would just click through it automatically.
Once place I know of includes an image in the rules that you have to click on. The rules tell you to click on it if you’ve read them. But, if you don’t read them and click on the button, you get a message telling you to go back and read the rules carefully.
I welcome our new Oakministrator.
Just freaking promote him from junior mod to mod already, he’s not going to ever stop, it’s clear!
Please don’t do this. Ever.
I thought he was assistant to the regional manager.
Not that a “me too” response (without other content) to a current thread is really any better.
I don’t care one way or the other but I have to ask, why do people get so bent about old threads being resurrected? I never look at the dates on posts, I just respond to the content.
So what do the anti-zombie post people do - think this is really interesting but because it is older than X months I will not respond to it instead I will report it?
Actually I may resurrect this thread every year on this date to see if opinions have changed.
Hey, what do you think these threads are, Pop Quizes? Sometimes a fella needs a little time to pause and reflect before pontificating.
I agree!
Hm, lieu being lieu, I read that as “poop quizzes.” Anyone else?
If Oakminster is for this, I think I’ll be against it. 
A good plan.
The zombie stuff is getting annoying. I think a better idea is to have a script that catches posts to old threads and makes the poster go thru a couple of “Are you sure you want to post to an old thread?” “Are you really, really sure?” “Did you know that if you never posted to the thread before, you’re probably going to look like an idiot?” click thrus.
Me too!
(I don’t know why zombie thread annoy people so much)

Because they can’t read the post date on posts. They can read custom titles, but not the post date. Go figure.
Another thing may be that some wise ass always has to make some lame resurrection joke.
