Replying to What should be done??

To start off I know this is going to be moved but I thought more people would see it here before it gets moved.........I have been seeing alot of renewed threads the last few days anything from a year to 3 months ago. Its annoying at times to being reading through a thread that you think is new and it is a year old, although what if you have a bit of new news and instead of posting and getting "search bar" yelled at you (which may happen to me since I didn't check for this in the search bar) you post in a 3 month old thread that is related to it. What to do?? New thread, revive an old one??

Thanks for helping me strive to be THAT oh so perfect NS poster.
