Recently I've been doing some categorising (the struggle continues) and there are a lot of old threads which guttered out before their time. So what I'd suggest over the next 24 hours is that every regular dips into the archives and find a thread to revive. Come on, people! Those threads need you!

A range of thread brandings could be introduced - "Vintage", "Ol' Timers", "Cult Classics"....."Dave Q Presents: X-Treme ILE" maybe...

having to click on them to realise they're just revived threads. duh.
― Ste, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 10:21 (eighteen years ago)
Revive!
I recently learned that in some corners of the internet, thread revivals are called "necros" as in "necro thread". Depending on the forum, users may have strongly negative opinions about necro posts, and in some cases you can be banned. A little research shows me that this attitude seems to be most prevalent on video game boards, which I don't care about at all, but that's not where I caught wind of it.
I also started checking out reddit recently and they archive posts, which locks them for comments, after a few months.
I'm never leaving ilx. Everybody else is deeply fucked in the head.

yeah, you'd never get banned for reviving an old thread here
