In this thread, a few people mentioned 'necrobumping', and a user or two dropped hints that only Ninjas or Online Staff could bump incredibly old threads.

I wonder if that is indeed the case...

Er... well, when a thread hasn't been posted in for two months it becomes archived, which is essentially the system locking the thread automatically. Anybody with the power to pin a thread and lock a thread can use a little exploit to unarchive the thread. We found this out in private groups

So basically, moderators and Online staff have that power, meaning THEY are the ones that bump these really old threads?

When that really ancient thread from '04 was bumped, I think about 5 pages worth of responses were something along the lines of 'wat' or 'wtf' etc...
