And then get forum suspended for bumping an old thread? Nah thats why they tell us to make new threads.

This is from the sticky at the top of the General Forums:

Please use the search function placed at the top of the forum to see if your questions have already been answered. If there happens to be a thread with similar topics, please divert your questions to that particular thread.

You need not fear getting suspended for joining in the discussions of an older thread.
