Oops, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/start-a-new-thread-or-bump-an-old-one#post-1414417 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 12:52:51 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1414417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually start a new one... I usually don't comment on older ones- not sure why, I just feel like I shouldn't! ha. Or sometimes I'll start to comment and realize I already did however many months ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/start-a-new-thread-or-bump-an-old-one#post-1414411 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 12:51:15 +0000 mrsjyw 1414411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually start a new thread! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/start-a-new-thread-or-bump-an-old-one#post-1414406 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 12:50:49 +0000 Bao 1414406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: haha me too!</p> <p>I will start a new one if one hasn't been started in a few months, otherwise I will just read the answers given and hope it answers my question. I don't bump a lot, but not sure why... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/start-a-new-thread-or-bump-an-old-one#post-1414401 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 12:49:12 +0000 artsyfartsy 1414401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually start a new topic without even checking. I think I'll try searching old threads first from now on though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/start-a-new-thread-or-bump-an-old-one#post-1414390 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 12:47:39 +0000 fussygal 1414390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends, but I usually start a new one unless I know it was JUST answered. I think I've only bumped one or two old ones. It also gives newer bees the chance to chime in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/start-a-new-thread-or-bump-an-old-one#post-1414281 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 12:23:02 +0000 autumnlove 1414281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends, I don't like seeing recent threads repeated (like last 2, 3 weeks) but I'll start a new thread if the responses are old.</p> <p>But I hated it when people posted a link to the old thread as a response to me...when I was new to the site. :-p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/start-a-new-thread-or-bump-an-old-one#post-1414276 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 12:20:27 +0000 Weagle 1414276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer to see old threads bumped because it's easier for everyone to have responses limited to one place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/start-a-new-thread-or-bump-an-old-one#post-1414271 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 12:18:31 +0000 BSB 1414271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually tend to bump old threads, if they are within a few months old. And I don't mind getting old answers mixed in with recent answers. </p> <p>I usually only start new threads if I want current responses and I think the question hasn't been answered yet. Oh, also, if I'm feeling super chatty and don't feel like searching.</p> <p>What do you do? </p>
