Stop necroposting!

So many people lately have been "necroposting" (bringing back old threads) and it gets annoying seeing threads from August 2007 coming up! We have to do something about it.

Re: Stop necroposting!

I call it necroposting. And a lot of people don't, they just contribute to a conversation with a dead thread and dead users.

Re: Stop necroposting!

lol 2 months old
but yeah, the proper term is called necro posting
bumping only applies to suggestions or text based games or questions unless theyve been answered already

Re: Stop necroposting!

I don't think that there should be much of a problem with this. But people shouldn't bring back old topics if they have already been resolved, denied, approved (the previous two applying to the Suggestions section, mainly), or something other than that that has no need to be discussed again.

But it's not that much of a problem, is it?
