I estimate that either people are intentionally reviving these old threads, or there are new members to the forum that want find a topic. When they search for the topic, they click on a relevant one even if its from a long time ago, and they just reply not knowing that its against forum rules.

Most of them are searched for. But why would you want to find an old thread?

To us its irrelevant and odd, but to new members, it seems normal until they are told its not.

That’s true, which inclines me to believe that it could’ve been done on purpose.

It could’ve been a new account made for the sole purpose of reviving a thread, thus the account is new, and the actions were intentional.
