| When you discover you are riding a dead horse, you should dismount and seriously consider getting a new horse. However, there are several other strategies in dealing with dead horses: ~ Change riders
~ Ask noobs to study the dead horse for a fresh perspective
~ Say things like, “This is the way we have always ridden this dead horse”
~ Arrange to visit other dead-horse web sites
~ Buy a stronger whip
~ Post a new sticky for working with the dead horse
~ Change the threshold of “dead,” and then declare, “This horse is not dead”
~ Harness several dead horses together for increased speed (gives a new meaning to "horsepower")
~ Make a new rule that “No horse is too dead to beat”
~ Ask for donations to increase the dead horse’s performance
~ Post a poll to see if members still want to ride the dead horse
~ Mod the dead horse
~ State that the horse is “better, faster, and cheaper” dead than alive
~ Revise the performance requirements for dead horses
~ Promote the dead horse to admin
~ Develop an contest on how to improve performance of the dead horse
~ Beat the dead horse until it is no longer recognizable as ever having been a horse
