This is where members can draw attention to older threads in one of two fashions. A SPOTLIGHT thread, inspired by the old "mao's spotlight" is the way to go if you want to put a new spin on an old discussion by looking at it in a new way or rebooting the discussion.
The BUMP DAY thread, occurring on the 13th of every month, is a never-ending thread to post links to old threads you want to resurrect and continue in the same fashion. For further details, reference the associated sticky explaining the difference.
