Has anyone ever noticed getting reputation points from an old Lounge post? For instance, I just glanced at my Reputation History and noticed I got 24 points for a post[^] being upvoted. Since I didn't really recognize the thread title immediately ("Chris'isms"), I followed the link and discovered that the post is from January 2013!

Maybe this site is being viewed in slightly less than parallel universes?

I can't recall where, but yesterday I saw a link to that thread. Someone was referencing it which is likely why you got an upvote now.

Thanks. Because I was so desperately trying to find it.

Some of the hamsters are getting old, and have slowed down. It takes them a while to get back to Hamster Central with the rep points. Three years sounds about right, considering the number of Fermented Sunflower Seed Bars they have to pass to get there!

I am, at least sometimes. Usually I'm looking for something else and then stumble over an interesting thread.

Maybe someone is still catching up and started at the oldest post and working their way forward!

No doubt someone has figured out the only way to achieve correct Lounge etiquette is to re-read the entire contents, from beginning to end, and to parse all of the opinions stated therein.

Rereading the entire lounge is the best way to avoid a leslie.

Not specific to this upvote and the Lounge for that matter, but I do read old BJOTDs in free time. I still find many of them I've never heard before. And I do upvote a joke if I like it.
You have just been Sharapova'd.

Someone must have seen the old post and decided that they liked it. 
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.
