It's always interesting when an old post is suddenly revived. That "air plants are killing my trees" thread has a life of its own.

There are some posts that I wish would disappear and while I admit I am a vocal opponent to thread necromancy for little more purpose than stirring the pot, there is indeed a lot of very useful information stored within these pages. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have the blueberry threads with Bamboo_Rabbit's advice bookmarked and saved, especially since he no longer seems to be an active member. Sometimes when I have a question on something, I prefer to go back and ask that question on one of those old posts so that all the information stays contained within one area instead of spread out over dozens of posts.

To be honest, I didn't understand the term "zombie post" until that "air plants are killing my trees" post popped up again a couple of months ago... And then wouldn't go away for months!

I'm sure there is a "My hibiscus leaves are turning yellow" thread around here too. I have a blog post with that topic and it gets dozens of visits a month, despite being written in 2010. I'm all for keeping the old threads that have useful information. People online search for stuff, and if they read those threads, they usually don't come post here. It's just when they add to it that it shows up.

What annoys me more is the never-changing stores on the bottom and sidebar. I have no desire to learn how to add adeck build a natural swimming pool or a pizza oven on the patiio, yet they seem determined to teach me those things.

THIS THIS THIS - change it up houzz or delete it!!!!

As much as we complain about Houzz, having grown up on GardenWeb, we have to realize that we are a very small part of the Houzz website. Do they listen to our complaints? I'll bet they do. I'll bet that someone who works for Houzz reads every word of every post on every page (hi!) But they have the rest of their audience to consider and that's what will keep things the way they are.

Maybe, but I sure am tired of looking at that dubious pizza. If they'd just update the linked stories once in a while it would help.

I too like the old posts. I consult them quite often.
