In this case, rather a lot, since the topic was a list of words that were overused in
2009.
If it's the same topic, yes, it can make sense to continue an old thread (though this is not one of those forums that insists on it, possibly because nobody wants to read through 17 pages of discussion to find one new post). But if it's something different -- a post about a word, not about a university's list of out-of-date words, in this case -- there's no reason not to start a new thread for the new topic, and every reason not to recycle one about an out-of-date list of out-of-date words, which isn't the same topic.
