I have revised and updated GTPlanet's Acceptable Use Policy in an attempt to create a more concise, organized, and readable document. The most notable change in policy is that concerning profanity:

You will not use profanity in the forums, nor link to content which contains offensive language without sufficient warning.

Under the previous rule, linking to content which contained profanity was prohibited. Now, this is permitted so long as a sufficient warning is provided.

Not that I've ever had to use it (unless we look way back to Pringles/SandStorm) - I still see this a cool step forward!.. Especially for a nation that allows you to keep a gun in your house, but won't allow the F word on television!..

Jordan - as always, a huge thanks for keeping GTP alive!.. 👍

Do we have any sort of policy on excessive old thread bumping?

It all depends on the contribution. If they have something to add then it doesn't matter how old the thread is. However "bump" posts are not allowed, in which case I guess the user would get a warning and the thread could get locked if it goes off topic.
 
Floats is pretty much correct on that.
 
I think that even though thread bumping is ok as long as you have something relevant to say, for the most part it shoulsd be frowned upon.

Is it smart to bring up a thread from 2008 to reply to a two year old conversation that everyone has forgotten? In my opinion, no.

Just my two copper Lincolns.
 
It sincerely depends upon the conversation. If it is a timely event that expired in 2008, then I agree, but if it is more general in nature, then by all means, continue the older conversation rather than duplicate the topic again.
