Here’s an easy way to give someone a good feeling – tell them that you appreciated or enjoyed their post, or that you see their point! As Reb Simcha Bunim Cohen says, “it doesn’t cost any money.”
The thing is, this will bump the thread, but will not add to the discussion or collection. Should this not be done for that reason? Let’s talk about that. If you’re adding content anyway, though, you can definitely show some acknowledgment too.
(As a rule, if it’s older than 6 months, let alone a year, there is virtually no circumstance that justifies bumping a thread. I’m not talking about that.)
Nice idea for a thread.
On that note… Please nobody responds to threads from 2 years ago etc
Dumb idea
What’s a dumb idea?
I appreciate this thread.
Ivory – I love old threads.
Obviously
Kudos to cozimjewish for bumping the jewish music thread. I just spent over an hour listening to amazing songs that I would t have know we’re in existance without reading that thread.
Kudos to Randomex for starting this lovely thread.
Thank-you lg:) always a plez to help out fellow music lovers;) Actually, I don’t remember who it was, but thanx to whoever posted the link – I love that thread!
Sorry to annoy you, ivory
You are forgiven. Enjoy bumping!
Your welks CIJ!
OP; this thread is such a special idea, you must be a real caring person to come up with such a genius and grand idea.
Oh thanx SIDI 🙂
What’s wrong with bumping old threads? Why not restart an interesting discussion that died for whatever reason? So many new threads get created on a regular basis that older ones tend to just get lost in the shuffle.
jewishfeminist has my vote for mayor of the coffeeroom!
Kids do a chesed and shorten crazybrits st please!
What difference does it make how old it is? And I’ll turn your second question around and ask why on earth start a new thread if a relevant older thread already exists? Mods occasionally block new threads if they’re too similar to existing ones. I personally can’t stand the clutter and disorganization of multiple threads discussing the same topic, and if I’m looking for information I really don’t want to have to go jumping from thread to thread, or raise a question in one thread only to find out it’s already been answered elsewhere.
My brother once told me a nice vort (don’t know from whom). In ashrei we say “lhodia lbnei haodom gvurosov”. Pshat is that it’s referring to Hashem. But another way of translating gvurosov= HIS greatness, ie pointing out to a person his own greatness and making him feel good about himself. I liked that one!
I totally agree with jewishfeminist02 on this. And so does the YW Editor! And this whole idea of not bumping old threads goes directly against the Rules of the CR!:

a quick check to see if the topic
exists.

I also don’t think it’s right that one or two posters try to make up there own rules and demand others follow them.
Bump.
(Note: I have revised my stance on old thread bumping.
That doesn’t include doing it for no reason whatsoever, though.)
So what was your reason for bumping this one?

Bumping is generally either to continue a discussion or
to show threads to newer readers. In this case, it’s the latter.
Oh, I thought you just wanted to keep it safe from your own restriction on bumping threads “older than 6 months.”
As a relatively new kid on the block, I don’t mind the bumps on the road.
cy, I like the way you said that!
