here’s nothing otherwise stopping dead posts from being repeatedly revived.

Except that it requires a lot of votes to make it visible again. Which doesn't happen. Threads die too quickly to be useful, except to people that found them via a search. But posting on old threads is largely pointless because no one is reading them any more.
