Gravedigs: General has a thread "life" of 2 weeks before considering the thread a zombie. It will still be possible to bump a thread after that for up to 3 months if it meets the following conditions:
1. The post must consist of more than a single sentence or single thought. I.e. posts such as "Me too" or "I disagree" without much elaboration would still be considered a gravedig. Posts that address a previous post and expand would not (I.e. I agree, but I think that we need to look at X, Y, and Z because...).
2. The post must not fit into a current (Active and posted within a day) thread. This means that posts that do expand but are in a topic that comes up constantly in General (Such as abortion) will be still considered a gravedig as chances are we've got another thread on the topic already going and we really don't need 4 or 5 threads on the same topic.
3. The post must be timely. Attempting to continue a discussion about the election that happened three months ago is not timely.
4. The post seems likely to promote new discussion. In other words, posts that seem to be addressed to one person only or cover points already brought up and discussed in the thread is more likely to be considered a gravedig.

Which I'm sure means the same thing on the other forum sections.
