OK does anyone know, what's the deal with all these zombie threads lately?

Just curious. Like how are they finding them and if the thread is that old why not just start a new one. I can't even find old threads when I know specifically what I am looking for.

When I joined, I was googling for a specific topic and found some interesting conversations. I didn't notice the date, and as a newbie, I wasn't aware of the ethos about zombies. 

I also would bet a good amount of money that at least some of these are bots.

I definitely made some zombie mistakes when I was new. 

If you google for certain topics, it's not unusual for the forums to come up--I stumbled onto the forums looking for curriculum reviews and realizing that all roads led to Rome, so to speak. When someone arrives from a search, it can be a zombie thread.
