I wish FP/FR would stop multiple postings.

I wish FP would merge duplicate and similar threads. P>

I tried....but then I looked up at the sun.

I have a suggestion for the software. How about a box that pops up when I'm posting that says something to effect of: Attention, you've been clicking from thread to thread, and you're about to reply to a topic that has been dead for 3 years, are you sure you want to look like an idiot? I for one would find it useful. :)

Well, the problem is that Free Republic fights the Undead Rats who endlessly recycle their failures into new waves of idiocy that have to be dealt with. So the past isn't really the past with them, since it's all they've got, and they use it over and over and over again.

There are some FReepers that go around bringing dead threads back to life. It's a hobby I guess.

‘Necro-posting’, FTW!!!!!

I’ll be sure to revive this post in around 5 years or so from now!

you could also have a preference that would automatically answer “yes:.

A healthy donation of say $100,000 might cause Jim Robinson to notice your suggestion. You might get lucky.

Come to the picnic on July 23 and discuss it with him in person.

There should be a word to describe the way you feel when someone mentions the thread is 6 months old and you thought it was now.

I think it is like Rosanna Rosanna Dana used to say “oh, nevermind”

I’ve seen some really interesting old threads get revived that way, I’m all for hiding the date stamp on threads from a few great FReepers past and present.

I’d have never seen some of them, since they predated my Feb. ‘05 signup and I somehow missed out while lurking for years.

The Undead Thread usually is existing on a zot thread.
Though we have had poor fare as of late.
The quality of troll threads is lacking, we’ve had to scrounge and beg for donated threads.

“Warning! You are posting to Laz! That’s LAZ you idiot! You’re posting to LAZ! Oh.. oh well, your problem since you just hit the ‘post’ button..”

Custom dialogue boxes would be funny.

“That’s Darksheare. He’s just there. Wait, did he.. actually move? OH dear LORD he’s still alive, run for it!”

Or perhaps a box that would say something similar if you were about to post an idiotic thread??

Meh, I posted this to GENERAL/CHAT, so your expectations should have been low.

Or maybe one of my wife .. “Hi, honey ... ‘member me?”
