Maybe because when you are new on a forum you read a lot of threads, you turn pages and you might reply on something you find interesting without checking the date.

The question is why a spate *now*; the forum's been here for 14 years, but this hasn't been a continual phenomenon. If all it were was as you suggest, it would have been happening constantly for 14 years.

Cute but dangerous
Weird enough, this is not the only forum this currently happens in, at least 2 of my German forums and aother English one have the same issue. So I googled some monster names, edition information and such and at least in the German attempt and for some English stuff I got a few old EN World threads. Specifically for prestige classes, stat adaptions to 5e or PF and kickstarters.

You wants weird necros, go visit a guitar site!

Someone will post a thread about what guitar to buy or what amp settings to try out, whether they should do a particular gear trade, etc., and they'll get some answers...

And 7 years later, someone will give them another suggestion.:erm:

The same thing is happening here in the Creature Catalog Homebrews forum. Someone will offer advice on a monster that no one's looked at in, in some cases, a dozen years. Or ask a question about it!

another one here:

Some of this could be through google? Is the profile of enworld some how increased?

I know in other contexts, I will search some random thing on the interwebs, and find site posting years old that are the only thing that address it (or among the few that do).

That's my guess - a change in Google's algorithm. It's quite scary just how much power Google has over the web!
