I would think to keep the same topic from being discussed over and over and over and over.

Then bump the old thread.

Or maybe it's because this shit is held together with spit and masking tape and too many duplicate threads could bring it tumbling to the ground.

I've found that it sometimes is applicable to make new threads on old subjects. Either your question isn't really targeted and/or the answer can't be derived from the old replies, or the facts of the game have changed (such as, where to spring break when swine flu was flying around, or good places to eat when so many restaurants have opened/closed these past few years).

However, if you're going to ask, say, what to do with a speeding ticket, or how best to break to your GF that its over, or what to do about a friend who is fucking your ex, then its probably come up before and the answers haven't changed.

Its like my Dad told me a few weekends ago, there's nothing that our generation can do that hasn't been done before, barring using new technology.
