When people respond to a post you made ages ago.

Like you write a starter, and then m o n t h s later they answer. Not with a 'Hey is this still open' or anything, but their replying like its days old. And it's so flipping awkard- I remember one time not one but t h r e e people replied to a starter I made months ago and were roleplaying on it! I was annoyed since it was alot of replies and like make your own damn chain??? Try?? Using??? Your???? Brain?????
