Anyone else notice threads without any new content from, say, 2011 showing up in the Recent results? The second thread this morning was from 2009 without any new content (at least by date stamp). I had run into this earlier but, thought I was just missing something. Maybe I still am 😉

Spammy spam spam spammers.
Not you, Ben.
Makes perfect sense. Thank you very much for the answer.
