What is "Necroposting?"

Ok, this might sound stupid, but I've been on Scratch for quite a while but even though I have seen this term in lots of places, I have no idea what it means. Can someone explain?

Thanks  smile

Re: What is "Necroposting?"

Necroposting is when you "bump" (or post) in a really old topic. It's generally discouraged as it can sometimes cause confusion.

It's when there's a really old topic that people have lost interest in, and you bring it back up to the top of the forums list.

That's \n.

Necroposting is when someone posts in a resolved topic which has been inactive for a long time.

And thus causing it to start up again.

It's usually discouraged because old topics usually have been answered already.


Hai.
