Even here in Scotland they've begun to appear locally - two distinct sub-species of mid to lower knee length baggy shorts - either in very bright colours or in camo.. Here's hoping casual kilts become as popular.

Oh yeah, I find myself scrutinizing middle aged guys baggy shorts to see if they are kilts quite frequently. As to what the youth of today wear, to paraphrase what others have said on this forum in past, when I started wearing kilts in public I forfeited the right (and desire) to call other peoples fashion choices funny.

I was at The Gap the other day and they were showing overly large and baggy plaid shorts for the "guys" this summer...
...so I turned to my wife and said, "...so you're supposed to wear these and these ugly @$$ things are 'this year's fashion' and if you wear a kilt you get looks and comments?".
...so I just proceeded to wear my kilt to the Sox game the next day...

This is great stuff. I will add it to my list of responses when folks question me on my kilt (after I get it and start wearing it).
I agree, I shake my head in disbelief all the time at the falling down short syndrome.

Is there some way that, when we are reading through old threads and start a reply without noticing, that a pop-up could say something like
"This tread was started 2 years ago. Do you really want to reply to it?"

Dang, and I'm usually so careful to check the start date and not get sucked in.

I think it's great to have threads resurrected on occasion. First, because I may not have read them before, joining a couple years after this forum got off the ground. Second, if any newbie (myself included) thinks the topic warrants a reply, that confirms the ongoing relevance of the topic. (Certain recent thread-resuscitating pranks excluded  )
Of late, I decline to join in discussions because my thoughts are posted on earlier threads treating the same subject. So, which is better, falling off the discussions (and maybe the forum) because it's all been hashed out before, or continually starting new threads for old topics?
Turpin's idea for a "flag" is a good one, however.

Okay...then there should be one big long thread about:
"Will the 24" length kilts fit me...?"
"Can I wear my sghian dhub in public...?"
"Should I be going regimental...?"
"I'm planning to wear a kilt to my prom...can someone advise me...?"
There's threads that resurface...God knoweth why...I expect that some newbie stumbles across them while doing a search and feels the need to add a comment. There are those topics that seem to pop up in a new thread every week or so. I'm just guessing that it's the nature of a web forum that this stuff is going to happen.

What difference does the start date on a thread make? If a member finds a thread he or she feels is worthy of discussion, who are we to be so dismissive because it was started before a pre-determined date?
There were 19 posts made in 7 days when this thread was started, some 16 months ago. And 12 more posts have been made in less than 24 hours. It would seem there are some members that still find value in the thread, even if you don't. It is more active now than it was then.
If the thread were nonsensical, I might wonder why it had been dredged back up. If the thread posed one of the questions that seem to get asked around here on a weekly basis, I might wonder why it had been dredged back up. Since it seems to be neither of these things, I fail to see a problem with it. No matter its age.
