Thread necro-ing at an all time high, what gives?

[Ebalere]

I've noticed in the past week there has been about 50 really old posts revived, 2 of them being useful. I've also noticed alot thread derailing. I don't know why people are doing it, maybe like Kahlua said, the forums have been too quiet and people are looking to post somewhere?

Anyway, just thought I'd remind everyone that's guilty of this mass necroposting phenomenon to please consider the date of the original post, and if you have nothing to add to the discussion, please refrain from posting. There's plenty of good current discussions going on right now, and as someone who visits forums a few hours each day I find it highly annoying to have to sift through threads like Asommers grandma's birthday thread from 2 months ago just to find a legitimate thread to have worthwhile discussions in.
