That’s a culture-thing. I’m a member of two forums that are still pretty active. One views dead thread revivals as amusing, the other almost literally has a celebration in-thread when it happens as all the members with older posts in it come piling in. Heck, the second forum has a thread so active that people literally ask for, and get, recaps for the last X amount of time for it.

Man, I hate that constant night/day rotation. I didn’t mind it when it was once per year, but when we switched to once per month, it sucked. I can’t imagine doing it every period.
