Uh, where did you get that idea from? I quickly searched and found proof that that's not true: http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=15

I thought it was in something that a mod or scratch team posted.

Well, it doesn't seem to be true...

The problem with that is that it would create extra work for moderators...

No, I mean that if it wasn't posted on then it will close.

kimmy123 · 2011-09-29 16:18:39

I support.

The problem then is that sometimes old threads may need to be posted on. However, New Scratchers often don't understand the specific, rare circumstances when it is permittable to post on an old topic.

It's only true in some of the forums. Topics close automatically in Miscellaneous and New Scratch Members, but not in All About Scratch and Advanced Topics for example.

As for the suggestion, I definitely support. This would indeed make things a lot easier around here for the mods and teach New Scratchers the rule before they can break it.

WindowsExplorer · 2011-09-29 16:28:26

Then I support! I just thought that was for all forums!

Greenatic · 2011-09-29 16:57:10

Thanks gettysburg11 and WindowsExplorer! smile smile

I am new but...
I support!
(I have accidentally necroposted before sad )

helltank · 2011-10-04 04:56:04

Support.

Also, it would be hilarious if in the year 2015 or something, this got necroposted.

EDIT:I will tear out your soul Mr.60 Second Rule. I swear I will.

The rule is only for Misc, I'm pretty sure. ^^

You're both correct.
A member of the Scratch Team has to manually fire a MySQL directive (why did they not use cron jobs in the first place?), and the database automatically archives old threads in some forums. 2 weeks for Misc and 2 months for NSM and other stuff hmm

Good idea, but there should be an option to "restart" a topic, where the old topic would be archived and the new topic would have a link to the old so you could understand what they were talking about.
How would that be different from just posting on the topic in the first place?

Thanks for the support, efisher82 and Harakou!

Sorry I don't know what I was talking about... They should just start a brand new one really.

Sorry, what I meant was they should just start a brand new topic if they really want to bring it back up.
