yea apparently you get banned if you bring back old threads for no reason

If the thread has useful information in it or if the necroposter has something insightful/useful to say that is beneficial for the community, I don't think necroposting is bad. But if it's something like

cool story bro

then that's stupid.

From SamHaynes (an admin):

5. Non-Constructive posts are prohibited.

Below is a non-exhaustive list of examples of non-constructive posts. As a rule, non-constructive posting is not permitted:

* Spam - this is considered to be repetitive posting of the same topic or text or nonsensical posts that have no substance and are often designed to annoy other forum users.
* Bumping posts in order to keep them near the top of the list is also prohibited. Likewise, the use of "/signed" posts are discouraged in that it doesn’t engender constructive discussion.

Oh, you see, its what we call adding intrest to a post.

All posts need a good argument..... So for the sake of keeping this alive, That one you did 6 days ago.

or majestic... Who ever said it had to be deadly or fierce.. Its art you know...

**Protank** · 02-18-2011, 03:11 AM

I don't get it.

Why not?

**RedRyder** · 02-18-2011, 08:04 AM

It takes up space I guess. I could honestly careless, although it's fun sometimes looking back at the dates and how much it's changed now

**BeardedBear** · 02-18-2011, 08:15 AM

It does suck when some of the older forums members do this, but it's just as annoying when the newer people search back that far and comment on the thread like it's still relevant. (at least I hope they are using the search feature, because that's a lot of threads to dig through)

**Dizzy** · 02-18-2011, 01:17 PM

It can be annoying because sometimes the title of a necro'd post gets you excited -- found the secret to farming rare pinks!! -- and you open it and it's from 6 months ago and the information is either already common knowledge or is obsolete. That little thrill you feel at discovering something new deflates and you groan as you realize you wasted your time opening the thread.

On the other hand, I find it just as annoying to have 6 threads on the same topic, especially when the topic has been answered several times -- often on the post right below the newest post. So yay for newbies who at least search...?
