Zombie Thread marker
We need either a post header or zombie smilie so that we can easily demonstrate that the thread necro we routinely engage in and prevent people from arguing with other posters from 18 months prior.
It's almost as if people are the problem.

Unless one loses a precious thing, he will never know its true value. A little light finally scratches the darkness; it lets the exhausted one face his shattered dream and realize his path cannot be walked. Can man live happily without embracing his wounded heart?

Presumably, the forum software could force the icon of any thread with an OP older than X days to a zombie.silverjon wrote:The bots would never remember to use it.
[edit] - But I agree with Jag. The best (or worst) part about reading the zombie thread is when you realize it's a zombie thread.
