I think it's OK to revive threads when you have something interesting to say that is highly on topic. Otherwise make a new thread or don't say anything at all.
Answering a question that was made several years ago hardly justifies it, because the person who asked probably doesn't even care anymore. And I don't think it even helps other people with the same problem, because if there were such people they'd have revived the thread themselves to re-ask the question or created a new thread about it already, and then it would be appropriate to answer.
I do understand though what it's like to find a place with interesting discussions that have happened long ago and you weren't around to participate. But still, reviving topics nobody cares about anymore is annoying for people who have been around longer. Interesting discussions will happen again, don't worry, just stick around and keep the resurrecting to a minimum.
