Rap2xLim- someone who necros threads that's like so dead it's not even funny.
Leave the dead alone they are not for the living kthxbai

Little error in the above.

A "noob" is a player who isn't any good at the game because he either doesn't try or doesn't care. Used as a derogatory term.

A "newb" is a person who is new to the game.

well, consider this:
- some people are new to forums and necro threads by accident
- some threads contain useful content that can be shuffled down a list by fluff threads
- just because you know everything on the list, doesn't mean everyone else does. and the fact that people were able to contribute more to this list afted it was necro'd only proves my point more. i still have people ask me "what's AoE" or "what's rmk." I actually just answered a lot of questions to someone new to the game and forum. Not that I mind helping, but if he saw this thread, he would have had lots more answered for him than I did.

I already sent Rap2xLim an E-mail about this to be honest. Not meaning to sound like the forum police or anything, but he's been necroing threads all day. Check his message history :)

Yeah, i just found out about that. but tbh, i think he finally hit one deserving of it. I would have posting what i quoted in the 49 other ones he necro'd

how about this.... when did forums stop becoming about helping people, veterans or new? i didn't know all these terms when I started, and I was never on a forum before. I've become much more familiar with forums and forum etiquette since then. I don't condone mass necro, and I didn't know that is what the person who did this was up to when he necro'd the thread. I accidentally necro'd a thread once before I realized what I was doing, and was met with harsh criticism rather than friendly helpful advice. also, if u look three posts up from what u just posted, u will see I admitted to a mistake I made. that doest change the fact that I think this thread was helpful, and since i didn't necro it, what's wrong with me pointing that out? I'm sick of the hate on these forums, say whatever you want about me idc and I have more important things on my plate than ur opinion of me. either way, nothing changes the fact that before this turned into what it has now, everything posted in this thread WAS helpful. I've seen pointless NEW threads go up that contribute absolutely nothing, so why it is wrong to revive ONE OLD thread that does? Also note I said "one" because like I said, I was unaware of the mass necro that was going on. sometimes even I have to actually work when I'm at work and miss things.

that's really all I have to say about this

edit: and actually, if the off-topic stuff can get edited out of here, I think this would be a great sticky

^i'd post a counter argument but then i realized...why bother lol.
i just thought it's funny how u think there's hate on the forums :) there's no hate...only trolls and drama. (FYI not trolling im being serious)
and i don't really have an opinion about you to be honest....I don't even know who you are so...yea.
