New bully every year?

[Evolution]

Why would you accuse me of such a thing?

[Red Blaster]

Seriously though, why the sudden surge of necrobumping?

[Al Arlington]

I think it's the Necro Bumping thing Mike came up with some months back, not sure if it's still happening though.

Also, it's better to bump than start a whole new topic on, eh?

[BloodChuckZ]

Welll....Yeah.....But this was worthless.

[Red Blaster]

Seriously...necrobumping by responding to comments seriously has no value, and is more irritating than funny.

[Erik]

Mike's gone and necrobumping should go with him IMO (unless you have a good reason to revive an old thread).   

[BloodChuckZ]

I would guess that it will be abandoned now.

[Hayley]

I like the idea of necro bumping, but replying to somebody from six years ago is kinda eh. It's not a crime to do so, but most of the time it's pointless.

But meh. Whatever.

[Erik]

but replying to somebody from six years ago is kinda eh.

Yeah this is more what I'm talking about.  Necrobumping for its own sake is lame.  But reviving an interesting, old thread from a year ago or less is fine.  As long as I recognize at least some of the names.   

[BloodChuckZ]

Well, the monthly thing is over.  If anyone wants to revive an old thread for the purposes of real discussion, that's fine.

But to answer a 5-year old question ?  Forgetaboutit.

[Erik]

^ This.   

[Scum]

I don't see what the big problem is. I didn't see a rule that forbids replying to old posts.

[Evolution]

I was being a sarcastic smartass. 

[Erik]

^^ Its not a big problem and ^ that's fine, I am too.  I just think that the necrobumping joke has been overused lately.  I'm glad that the mods ended the monthly thing.  But I have seen some fascinating threads from a year or more ago.  If you guys find one of those, by all means revive it.   

[BloodChuckZ]

*sigh*  No, it's not a big problem, and it's not prohibited.

But use common sense.  Answering someone's question from 3 years ago, or 5 years ago is worthless.  The original poster is no longer around. 

If there is some new insight to add to an old topic, fine.  But if not, one should refrain from such foolishness.
