Raising the dead

[spartacus53]

Have you ever noticed on some of the other forums here, people will pull up posts that are several years old, and the question was also answered many times several years later

I've always wondered why people will go back several years to even look for something interesting when they already have thousands of current interesting ones

The real kicker in this is replying to the original poster, who has already moved from the site years ago

I wonder about this too. I notice that they are usually about (a) treasure signs or (b) legendary treasures. I can understand why new members might do this and THANK GOD they never bring up all that gun stuff. Treasure is much more fun than beating a dead horsey.

I don't know, maybe sometimes the old ones are more interesting then some of the recent post?

 

[spartacus53]

Big, you have a point there, and for once it's not the top of your head

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

Most times they do not notice the age of the last post or thread.

You can usually tell the topic of many of the posts by the title so you don't have to read the ones you find boring, when you do it was by your choice....

It is usually a new member that has just joined. They have gotten the information from a Google search and joined to reply. They do not realize the post is 3 years old.

Yer just having a "Senior Moment", is all; it comes & goes...

Rebel,

Here's one of those senior moment scenarios.....I live in a cottage....walk upstairs to get something....get to the top....forgot what I was doing there....back down the stairs....bingo.....that's when I remember what I was going to do...lol..

And then I come on here in cyber space and Spart takes us all to the twilight zone......and people wonder why I'm dazed and confused....lol...

Sorry Spat I thought you headline was about voting no comment

 

[spartacus53]

Well, the next time I see one of these threads answered, I will explain that the original poster, and a few others, disappeared under mysterious circumstances, soon after they posted

That's what happens when you're constipated and you sit on the toilet with your laptop.

 

[spartacus53]

packer, it's not like the posts they pull are on the first few pages, these guys are digging deep Not to mention, several were either addressed, or answered years before. Maybe they are Monday, skip that, Tuesday night quarterbacks

 

[jeff of pa]

I think we discussed this at Viet Nam, or Woodstock,
or maybe it was that day on the Grassy Null

but all those posts were archived,
no google result.



I did one yesterday, I googled something & got an answer from here from a few years ago
when PBK was here & answered it. which made it relevant imo to
use what's here, rather then start over, & look for a more recent answer
which may or not be correct..

 

[spartacus53]

thanks Jeff, maybe google is the culprit here

Then again, this site also has search engines, right

well this site has a search feature, however it doesn't like me.
I have yet to get a relevant result

if I search for example : WHITES I get something like this :


In light of the ridiculous gun ban talk (especially assault weapons) I thought we should post other items that could be used as assault weapons, might just help illustrate how ridiculous this anti-gun talk is........feel free to be creative

with all the W's, H's, I's, T's, E's, & S's highlighted

if I search "WHITES" I get no results found

 

[spartacus53]

Jeff, I just did the same thing as you, typed WHITES in the box and this is what I got

http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/search.php?searchid=918099

That is one sweet search engine. It'll probably be searching for a new job next week if it were mine

Jeff it doesn't sound like you are using Google to search, you may be typing it in Google but results are not Google. Check results address bar you may have a search engine hijacker.

[spartacus53]
