Makes things a little cluttered, but I'll take it over seeing 10+ year old threads brought back from the dead every couple hours

I really don't think that is the problem causing all the zombie threads.
It's the facebook like loading another random AI selected post that comes after the one you are reading.
I DONT NEED the computer "suggesting" anything.
A decent search function would suffice.
Also how come we can't find posts older than 1 year? I was trying to find something about wheels I had 15 years ago and couldn't find it. That is a recent change to make things worse.

You still can find older posts/threads but just need to adjust your settings, to do so.

Is this the thread, Beer? https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...als-wider.html

BTW, best way to search for stuff here is to go to Google and let it search for you. It does a much better job than the forum's search functions.

Doing that is the biggest reason all these old threads are being revived.

You can stop the zombie threads from loading up by tweaking your settings.

Despite the passage of time, as well as the amount of time spent on this forum, we can't always keep up with the changes that happen, and for us "old timers", we like things to be kept as simple as possible.
