I'm with Jbarafan. Who gives a frug if someone starts a new thread? How screwed up are you if you can't just scan past the title of a another thread about stage doors on the main messageboard screen? Why does it bother people so much? Likewise, if people use the search function, then fine, that's cool too.
Who cares if someone starts a new thread or reignites an old one? I don't!
