Threads started a week ago are zombie threads now?

I’m not ranting, I’m just curious. We’re not supposed to bump threads that were started a week previously? I thought the rule on zombie threads was that if they’d had no responses in like a couple of months, it was not cool to bump them. Now we’re reducing that time span to a week? That seems… short.

You might want to take a closer look at those dates.

2006 is NOT a week ago.

Ha ha.

Of course it’s not. I knew that. I was just testing to see if you did. Yeah… that’s the ticket.

Can someone close this thread? I’m going to blame this one on not having had my coffee yet this morning.

Don’t we get a chance to pile-on and call you all sorts of nasty names first?

Well, if you must. I live to serve!

I’m making a note to bump this thread next Christmas.

If I was a creepy internet dude, this would be the perfect place for a “How you doin’?”

Hee. I started reading that one, it felt familiar… and then I saw my own post from a year ago. Braiiins.

I wonder how far into 2008 I’m still going to think it’s 2007.

Well now the mystery of the zombie thread is solved, what can we bitch about now?

I’m thinking - my neighbour’s desire to play the guitar. Badly. at 4.30am. While singing.

Zombie thread closed.
