Although I find it entertaining to see replies to five year old threads and the subsequent string of posts by people unaware that they are responding to ancient history, I think it would be helpful to have some visual indicator on the last post of a thread that is more than 3 months old.
My preference would be cobwebs and rust, but any visual clue would suffice.

| Ha. That would work. We do need some kind of indicator. |

| What, and decrease the entertainment? What fun would that be? Just kidding, I think it is a great idea also. |

I think you over did it but yeah pretty much. Someone replied to a thread form 2002. And i freaked when someone suggested buying a new usb cable for 5 to 7 bucks. Because the camera doesn't use a standard mini-b plug.
And then someone told me it was from 02. |

Possibly a simple reminder after no activity for 3 months.
"There better be a good reason for bringing up the dead! |

I agree. Maybe just a little reminder to the resurrector of the dead thread.
"This thread is XXXX months/years old and has not been active for XXXX months/years. Are you sure you want to proceed?" |

Certainly not a graphic masterpiece like yours, but I'll dredge up the example I mocked up the last time some goon suggested this.

| There ARE a few threads worthy of resurrecting, like the NILMDTS one, but a warning would be nice in most cases. |

Well now I know I've been here toooo long when I am repeating my own posts and without a twinge of deja vu. I like your mockup MK, even though I don't look like that anymore since the surgery. "Payton's Hex" seems like it would be pretty effective also.
I guess I'll just let it go for now and repeat the suggestion in a couple months. Or maybe it would be funner to stir up some really good long-dead threads. >:)

To be honest, I think we need a "There are 68 previous threads on this topic, including 3 created in the past two weeks, which address this topic" alert on the "create thread" page more than this ...
