I'm not a newbie, have a life outside of the internet and forums, and read more than I post, so my post count is not that high.
Last week I had googled Nexus hubs and found a six or seven year-old discussion on this forum that is as contemporary as the day the OP posted it.
Then I posted a thank you, which bumped it back to the top ... I'd say at least overnight.
My point?
Not all old threads are useless information, and sometimes resurrecting one is better than starting a new one.
In my opinion, naturally.
