Why am I getting all these old "before and after pics" threads from 2004/2005 when I open the forums?  Its happened a couple times before.  Is anyone else having this happen??

Because people are still posting on them today, even though they were started long ago.

I am getting black helicopters over my house at night.  Is anyone else experiencing that?  It only seems to happen when the "before and after pics" thread resurfaces.

Yes, except not related to any threads on here unfortunately...

Yep.  When someone responds to a thread, no matter how buried it is, it automatically puts that thread at the very top of the front page.  That particular thread is very popular here (for GOOD reason, it's an incredible read).  You'll also see "220-age, the truth about HR", or something along those lines, show itself after a bit.  The threads that are pretty old but still keep coming up on your screen are well worth the read because they are either informative, interesting, or inspiring.  Oh, except the TAN threads in COJ, but I don't think they ever bury themselves, they tend to stay at the top of the page .

NO, these are threads with no recent posts.  And not interesting reads, and there are a whole bunch of them.

You have to scroll to the bottom and click on the last page # of the thread. I think "before & after" is about 19 pages long by now.
