Please let us know which thread and we'll reopen it, or feel free to start a new thread. Unfortunately, old dormant threads are often a spammer magnet.
I'll move this to Site Suggestions and Help.

You'd have to ask the spammers, but it's true. Maybe they think mods don't check old threads? I dunno. But Mark is absolutely correct on that point.

Spammers existence revolves around being annoying. I wonder if part of being a thorn is resurrecting something thought long dead.

I have temporarily reopened the old thread if you'd like to add that post. Then, we will close it again and please do start a separate thread in the vintage camera section if you'd like to dive in in more detail.
