Unapproved an off-topic post.
Generally, I guess it depends on the mod and how they respond to bumped threads. I personally don't care if a thread gets bumped, as long as it has substance (like if they have a question, etc). Bumping a thread to say "WOW! Thats cool!" or "yeah, I wouldn't do that." rubs me the wrong way. Yes, we do ask you to use the search engine. If you find a thread that is 6 years old, and you have a new question on something, go ahead and post. That is the purpose of a forum.
