On old topics with no active posts for ages - say more than 6 or 9 months - could we have a pop-up that alerts a poster that they're about to resurrect a long-dormant conversation? I appreciate in some cases it's valid but there's something irritating about finding yourself reading replies to a topic that's 8 years old.

Perhaps a banner at the top for us readers who stumble into one inadvertently, highlighting that it's a topic that's been raised from the dead?

Perhaps showing the date of the last post could be highlighted.
