How do you even find a thread from five years to comment on? It would be bumped so far down you'd have to scroll for a ridiculously long time 🤷♀️ At least for me, the search feature on Tapatalk is really messed up. I can put in "craft thread" and get nothing for the past year and get a hit from 8 years ago. I mostly pea from Tapatalk and I will specifically pull out my computer to do a search and even that isn't great unless I can remember who started the thread. ETA: I still think it's weird to bump an old thread like that. I just can see how it happens. |

It’s just… online etiquette. You wouldn’t walk up to a couple of your friends who are in the middle of a conversation about denim styles and randomly answer a question they asked you last month about pizza, would you? You could loop back around to it by saying, “Hey, I was thinking about that thing you said last week and blah blah blah,” though. When a thread hasn’t been posted to in a while it’s the same thing. Starting a S/O post and link to the original post is fine, but just commenting and bumping the old one back up when it’s been weeks/months/years since anyone participated in it is weird. 🤷🏻♀️ |

There are several threads that are ongoing such as movies and tv shows. Those sometimes fall below the first page and have to be searched for (which is a nightmare). It's perfectly acceptable to post on those because they are ongoing and not old.
The thread that this pea posted on was really old and as the OP has stated, isn't even relevant anymore. Not sure how they even found it. That IMO is why we need the old thread label.

ETA: I still think it's weird to bump an old thread like that. I just can see how it happens. Yes, I definitely think the search feature is sometimes the culprit. I have this expectation, personally, that when I search a website it will give me the newest hits first, and I'm just wrong in that, yet I keep expecting it anyway!  I've searched things here, found a perfect sounding thread, and started adding to it, then realized it was years and years old. So perhaps the site actually gives you the closest matches first? Which makes sense, but it still catches me out. |

The search feature is truly the worst here!
