KCJ5062 01/29/21 8:40:58 AM #1:	I've never understood that. If a comment was made years ago, there's a chance that the poster won't even remember making it. For instance, I just got a reply from a comment I made 8 years ago. I didn't respond, but I was thinking...seriously? This is pretty much the equivalent of someone bumping an old thread on an internet forum that hasn't been posted in for years. Especially if they respond to a post that was made by someone that doesn't even post on that forum anymore. --- It's amazing how people hang around message boards of games they don't like <cite>KCJ5062 posted [p:950048007] in Why do som...

However over the years said info can become outdated. Someone comes along and starts jumping down the OP throat and calling them a liar and such and such.

Apparently not realizing the comment they're replying to is years old and actually was correct at the time it was posted. There's also the possibility of them replying to a comment where the user asked for specific help and had already long resolved the issue. Or the OP made a controversial statement that resulted in an argument that had ended years back and by replying to it, all that person did was reignite an old fight. --- It's amazing how people hang around message boards of games they don't like <cite>KCJ5062 posted [p:950065778] in Why do som...

I never said that I was the one that was starting the fights. Not sure how you came to that conclusion. I was giving examples of how replying to old comments can be a problem at times.
