I'm sorry if I come across as a jerk because of this, but it's starting to get annoying having all of these ancient threads brought up again. I'd just like to ask all of you that keep posting to long dead threads to reconsider before doing so in the future. If some sort of a resolution had not been reached on them, they would have some recent responses still debating the subject (and thus be somewhere near the top of the list), rather than passing into the past. Besides, the vast majority of the people who posted to those threads are no longer on this forum, and while I understand that some of you are trying to help answer their questions, the chances that they will ever read your response are extremely low. Please, don't bring up long-since cold threads!

Chris, I share your fustration. I think what is happening a lot is that these people that are posting on these year old threads are doing a google search for something and it comes up, so then they post in it wihout looking at the date. They still have to register, so you would think then they would see this, but I guess not.

Could be...I hoped perhaps posting this thread would help clear it up a bit, and perhaps it will....We'll just have to see what happens.

You're absolutely right about the old threads. No offense to some of the people here since the beginning, but back then there was a lot of stupid information on these boards.

I don't know. I kind of liked the "Majorette v. Flute" topic 
Seriously though, I can see where people would want to get a fresh opinion or more clarificaton of an answer they found in an old topic. They then have to choice of "re-awakening" the old topic, or starting a new one. If you use the old one, at least you don't start from scratch with the old answers, or get flamed for asking a question that was asked before.
I do agree that the "highest note" thread, should have remained dead...
In the end it all comes down to common sense.
Oh, and it's F# of course
<Added>
"the choice" of course, not "to choice". I'm sorry, it's Monday morning...

A good point Leporello, and one that I had not fully considered. Yes, a good dose of common sense is quite useful in situations like these. Unfortunately, not everyone seems to have a supply of common sense at hand. And after reading some of the posts from the "old days," I'm not sure that any of the original answers would really merit reviving.

Hi Guys
I've noticed people have been having this problem more and more in recent weeks. We're thinking of addressing the situation by creating "Groups" here at 8notes, (in addition to the current forum) so smaller groups of people could have their own discussions without this kind of interruption. Would that be something people would be interested in?

I personally see no particular need for it. Sure it's a little annoying to have these old threads brought up, but part of what I enjoy here is the community of people of all different ages, experiences, etc. coexisting, and fragmenting the forum into these "groups" doesn't seem like the way to deal with it to me. The old threads certainly can be a nuisance, but don't really interrupt the forum a great deal. I would rather see people apply a little bit of common sense than have the forum broken into groups (even if the forum as a whole did exist aside from the groups).

I agree, it's fun the way it is. What happened to the "number of posts" thing by the way?
