On reviving Zombie Threads.

I love zombie threads.
Been the reason for a few of them.
Especially when your finding out about a product that came out in 2008 say and all the info is in 2008/2009.
Well its 2014 and when it get revived its nice to see the opinions after time has passed.
And also some things are just great to talk about and should have never ended anyways.

 

Sometimes I go looking for really old threads, just because it's like time traveling. I love it, and offer no apology.

William Shatner: You know, before I answer any more questions there's something I wanted to say. Having received all your letters over the years, and I've spoken to many of you, and some of you have traveled... y'know... hundreds of miles to be here, I'd just like to say... GET A LIFE, will you people? I mean, for crying out loud, it's just a TV show! I mean, look at you, look at the way you're dressed! You've turned an enjoyable little job, that I did as a lark for a few years, into a COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME!

[ a crowd of shocked and dismayed Trekkies.... ]

I mean, how old are you people? What have you done with yourselves?

[ to "Ears" ] You, you must be almost 30... have you ever kissed a girl?

[ "Ears" hangs his head ]

I didn't think so! There's a whole world out there! When I was your age, I didn't watch television! I LIVED! So... move out of your parent's basements! And get your own apartments and GROW THE HELL UP! I mean, it's just a TV show dammit, IT'S JUST A TV SHOW!

What TalkBass needs is a reminder setup. I'd be setting a reminder for next year to find this thread and revive it...

 

Zombie threads give some here more fuel to keep bitchin.

 

They're fine except in classifieds where someone will bring up that 4 year old bass for sale and ask if it's still available. Another good one is when someone bumps up that 2 year old amp for sale to yell at the poster to close their thread.

 

I'm going to set a reminder to come back and reply to this thread in 5 years.

 

Hey, wait a minute- aren't you revealing a rather shockingly detailed knowledge of a William Shatner appearance? Just sayin'...

 

It's really fun to read through a 7 year-old thread asking for advice, only to notice several posts in that it is old as the hills. Then, you see the ass who resurrected it has added a comment, as if the OP is going to see it and care.

 

Zombie treads always show me I could be quite the idiot even in the recent past.

 

Well, mellowinman did live in his folks basement till he was 32... ;-)

 

I suspected that I was having my chops busted...LOL...but being so new here, I don't under stand some of the protocol. I had no idea what that guy was talking about when he used the words 'zombie thread'. I had a vague feeling that I was being chastised, but I had no idea why. I really wandered into that with eyes wide shut.
I'm still pretty sure that I didn't do anything wrong...
Thank you for your support. TKK

 

TB is actually one of the oldest working forum sites, if not the oldest, I've ever seen. I'm sure there are older one. Every once in a while it's fun to be reminded of just how old the interwebz really is. It ain't 1998 anymore! When TB started I was using Windows 95 on one computer and DOS 5.0 on another!

 

I think everyone should revive 5 zombie threads today. I'll start.

 

It'll be a zombie apostalypse!

 

I always like a nice walking dead bass line.

 

Then, ya ought to listen to the way Phil Lesh plays Merle Haggard's "Mama Tried" on
Europe '72...
