Why would I start a new topic? I don't understand.
I think this message is more useful on larger forums, where threads get buried
really deep in the space of 4 months. I've seen this on CivFanatics - what happens is that newer forumers (and sometimes other forumers too) read the thread without realising it's months old, and then post a reply to something that was said monmths ago. And, of course, if the thread is really old, the people who posted there aren't around on the forum any more. By starting a new topic, you avoid this.
For this forum as it is now, I can't see this option being useful.
Eh? What topic?
I'm guessing
this one. (Notice how I underlined the link.
