Oh, Some people are going to bitch!
If you really work at it you can make them howl!
I know I can.
When it's slow like now... it really is a good thing...

Welcome to Lit
Each forum has its own unique culture, so what is acceptable in one is completely not in another. It does take some time to familiarise oneself, but I promise you that it's well worth the effort!
In the How-To, the general etiquette is that you don't revive old threads (also known as 'zombie threads') unless it ties in to something you wish to ask/address OR if you're updating an old thread (better explained here).
That said, in my observation, again in the How-To forum, if you used the search function, found a similar thread but you still have something further to ask or address, it's better to start your own thread, especially if the original post was a few years back. The reason is that many many many many people will read the first post only and comment on that, or will lambast you for resurrecting a zombie thread. It's certainly okay to refer back to the old thread, but it is, in my not so humble opinion, better to just start your own for your unique question or concern after having search through the threads (the Blank Manual is a library of threads on different topics as is the FAQ) and haven't found an answer (it does get annoying when there are six different threads on penis size and how to eliminate hair). All we ask is some effort before we pile on our 0.02$
I'd like to emphasise that this generally in the How-To. The Playground is a bit fluffy, so a game thread could be usually resurrected. I am not sure the AM Pics, Author Hang-Out and BDSM culture (although I assume the latter is similar to the HT). I stay away from the General Board as they tend to use the skin of the newcomers to create sacrificial drums, so I really don't know there.
Good luck, and enjoy your stay
