I'm aware of the rules permitting members to post in old topics in SYD, but may I ask what was the point of bringing back this old topic was?

Rules:

Quote

Do not post in old threads
The only exception to this is the 'Serial Spammers' and the 'ShockWave Battle Bunker' forums. Topics there never lose relevance due to their ongoing nature, it's ok to revive old topics there. But even so, be aware that some topics were abandoned for a reason. Even if you thought the topic was too good to be abandoned, not everyone else might agree.

I didn't see the thread as worth dragging up for something that added so little.

And you might want to have a look at that chip on your shoulder, Rorschach. I've noticed in other topics where you have a tendency to make back-handed remarks towards Staff and Admins. Don't think it isn't going unnoticed.

I didn't think it was. But I only criticize where I see it fit to do so.

Anyway, your citing of the rules doesn't do much in the way of proving your point as the rules state that the revival was just fine, unless no others end up posting in this topic. That is not something we can expect quite so soon so it is unfair to claim that the revival was wrong, until, of course, later, when the topic has either been revived or been abandoned yet again.
