I think this has gotten out of hand... I understand that a large part of what this board is is discussion of new and upcoming soundtrack releases, but it seems to me that starting a subject line like "NEW Intrada! WHISPERS IN THE DARK!" is a little ridiculous because when someone bumps the thread up two years later, the subject line is really misleading. The release is not "New" anymore.
At the time I'm posting this... there are five "New" release threads on the first page of the forum... and one of them is about a release that happened nearly three years ago.
You get my vote. The word NEW should perhaps be replaced with release date (year included). The reader would immediately see wether or not it's an old thread.
It is very irritating when someone bumps an ancient thread with NEW in the title.
I rarely see any relevance in the comments added to these resurrected threads anyway-it's usually along the lines of 'cool release'-hardly earth shatteringly important that we need to know the opinion of some newbie from East Buttcrack.
It's John with the win - unless you meant Broken Arrow, Driving Miss Daisy or Lion King. Francis admitted he cheated
I clearly remember Morgan Freeman saying this to Dan Aykroyd's character.
On topic: I think the 'thread bump' is polite add. Once in a while I stubble upon a comment by myself in a thread only then realizing I was reading something from years ago.
Not sure I removing the 'new' is an helpful thing. You'd miss the distinction of fan threads from the announcements. And announcements is one of the reasons I'm here. I'd rather be disappointed that I'm looking at an old announcement once in a while that miss a release.
