I must admit I’ll never understand this online tradition of frowning upon thread resurrection. Researching past discussions and replying to them keeps related information in one place, avoids having the same people repeat themselves on exactly the same subject, and speaking from experience, much of the time the gap isn’t even noticeable unless you look very closely at the dates to check if there was an actual break somewhere or if the discussion simply went on for years.
You’ll have to speak to the mods about that, since it’s one of the rules that they enforce. In this case, most of the replies from three years ago are now moot, as Eaglemoss has made all of the ships that the previous posters wanted. It would have been better to just create a new thread for the same topic.
