Hi guys,

how often do you LOOK BACK in threads? I mean: There is a tendancy that only the threads on page ONE are "alive". As soon as a thread is pushed down to the second page, it goes into oblivion.

It would be nice to have some of the "older" threads revived!

Just my 2 cents.

Good point, Bo.

But the fact is that the older threads are very rarely revived. Out of sight, is out of mind!!

I'll read this thread in September,

Why do I get the feeling that this post, in particular, will find itself bumped up to page 1 over the next few months.

The only time I went back was when I first signed up, learned a bunch of info and kind of 'met' the guys.

Sorry for asking then!

Chris B · 1 May 2007, 05:58 AM

Sorry Bo, I'll try to be serious.

I usually will just look at the first page, maybe sometimes looking at the second if there was a particular post I was following, but beyond the second page is "ancient history" to me and I never venture into its depths.

I admit that I'll always forget about using the search facility to look for something thats disappeared, I'll lazily just ask the guys.

I go back, "Waaaay back" sometimes just to see what was discussed earlier. In other words, I've got way the hell too much time on my hands!

Same here - went back like 20 pages.

I click on "New Posts" at the top. If I need anything else I search for it.

I sometimes like to go back and read old threads.

I love it when I post that "this will be my last watch" and that was how many watches ago?

astcell · 2 May 2007, 12:52 AM

I thought this was going to be a thread about looking back on life, the choices we made and what we would change.

Okay! What choices have you made that you would do differently?

Sticking that screwdriver in the lightsocket to "see what electricity would feel like"

I did that as a kid. I bet it would have magnetized a Millgauss!

I sometimes scan over the pages past 1 & 2....... It depends on my need and hunger for more information regarding Rolex's :-)

I looked back and the Datejust was one of the most talked about Rollies.

Too late JJ! I'm already hooked! Thinking of starting a collection of the whole "Kojac" series! I probably shouldn't mention the life size blow-up I had made of your picture. (even had it heavily reinforced in the wrist area so I can change watches every flip)!
