One of the things I like about the Mods here is that, in a sense, they at least admit they can be not-totally-right or possibly even wrong. Sometimes 🙂 And the one other ATMB thread being locked and unlocked a couple (?) times brought that to mind. But my mind working in an unusual fashion, it brings up a question; what is the record for a thread being closed and then reopened? I know not that long ago we discussed zombie-returns and while a very different set of circumstances ------ it just got me wondering.

God, it’d be difficult to say. At least with zombie bumps there’s an actual record right there that it’s happened. I don’t think the software tracks closings and such.

I figured as much to be the answer but I have a hop that, knowing our members, someone with an advanced form of Google-fu or a really great memory may just find a candidate.
