Why is that? Be good to join discussion from the past and bring back some zombie thread? No?


No. Re-post / start a new thread. Many times the old-threads will be cross-linked (I see this pattern a lot on HN)


Can we post one referencing previous HN link? ?


I've not seen it done but, what's a good one? Putnam award?


I wanted to add that some zombie/necro posts are useful outside the context of HN.

For example on retro computing boards it makes me so happy when someone bumps a 5 year old thread to share new details, benchmarks, etc. about some card or motherboard where the ancient thread is first thing that appears in search results.
