This has been on my todo list for a long time. I have done it finally. :-). If you post any response to an archived thread it will automatically move to the active list. i.e. the main forum page. Go ahead use it to revive interesting discussions which u feel prematurely terminated or discussions from 6-7 months back, which u feel u can add to. Please use it wisely.
You can access the archived threads either by searching for a particular topic, or just by clicking on the archives link. (Beware it is huge). I recommend searching for something that you have in mind.

  Ravi, I have posted on at least three or four threads in the Archives in the past weeks and haven't seen it in the Active discussions. Do you mean from these threads will show up in the Active discussions from now on?

  Forgive the extra "from" in the last sentence.

  Udhaya: Further posting to the archived thread will show up in the active discussions. If you have posted something before I put this message up, please post something in the same thread again to make it active.

  NOV & Ravi, what set of problems do you guys suffer from revived threads? Is this an inside joke between you guys or does revival pose problems that others haven't realized?

  Udhaya: My reason for the sigh is that useless threads that are best left alone, were among the first to be revived. :). I thought I had seen the last of those topics. I hope you know which threads I mean. :).

  Udhaya - I enjoyed your witticism. :-))
  
  I was sort of kindalufying that now we are required to answer things raised eons ago. :-))
  Don't worry, it's still no less fun.
  
  Ravi & I don't have a private joke. The more threads there are, the greater will be his headache - to monitor them. Advance-a condolence koduththu vittein, avvalavuthaan. :-))
  
  By the way - neengalthaan Nakkeeran :-)))

  Thanks for the affirmation, NOV.
  Ravi, you still hold sway over what gets revived, so if I revived something that you deem unworthy, by all means shut it down. I wanted to revive old discussions for a whole new set of people who may have their blinders on regarding the extent of DF. I just wanted to show that in the past people knew how to have fun by debating, digressing, and transcending the DF format of hero-worshipping and plain trivial listing. I am guilty of reviving a few old ones so feel free to alert me to it if you think I have gone far.

  Udhaya: No, you are doing fine. :). As you say I can shut down threads I do not want revived.. but that is extra work. :(. I need time to do other things too.
