The reasons tie into a group of regulars in this place and how they think they practically own the joint.
You'll notice two things. If someone comes on and asks a question, they'll almost invariably be told - unless they're young and cute or old and a femdom - to use the search feature. This is because the usual suspects here have decided that because THEY have discussed a particular topic to death, that no-one else is entitled to discuss the topic either.
Alternatively, if someone new DOES use the search feature, then finds a thread discussing the topic and tries to expand upon it, they'll be yelled at by the same thundercunts for resurrecting an old thread.
This is despite the fact that these people actually have nothing to say themselves and these forums stagnate like a fetid pond unless someone like myself stirs things up and makes them interesting.
Basically there's a cabal of regulars with empty lives who get off on being a bunch of self-righteous cunts with the moderators' home numbers on speed-dial in case they get their ass handed to them.
I keep pointing out that regulars who don't want to read, view or answer a topic have the option of - oh, I dunno - shutting the fuck up and instead reading another of the many scintillating threads in which they mutually masturbate each other in public. ("Oh, you're so wonderful. No, YOU'RE so wonderful. Oh no, you're so pretty." etc. etc.)
The various justifications they come up with are mere excuses for their cunty behaviour and desperate need to parade their witless personalities in public whenever possible. Ignore them and start a thread on whatever damn topic you like. Nobody's shoving their nose into the screen and forcing them to read it.
You know, for somebody I'd consider a fairly intelligent man, you seem to have this new habit of regurgitating things that you've heard from a rather airheaded twatwaffle on another site.
The reason they don't want old threads (very specifically old threads, not old topics) resurrected is because when it becomes a habit done by multiple people, it pushes the current topics off of the front page of the board. That means that the person who comes along and asks a new question quickly gets pushed back to page two obscurity where they don't obtain the help they would like to receive or the information that they would like to know.
It's actually pretty rare for forum participants to flip through even to the second or third page of any given board to see if they are asking the same question as someone did a week ago. They used to redirect posters to a current thread on the same topic if somebody was basically doing a repeat of a thread that was already in progress. I'd actually like to see that come back.
