I guess it's just me but what's the problem with someone bringing an old thread back alive? If they have discovered the thread, found it interesting and have a fresh new question or comment about it why is that bad? Many people aren't the consistent lurkers and posters some of us are and for them it's a fresh new subject. Odds are there are others who might find them interesting and wouldn't otherwise have seen them. Those of us who know it's an old thread can choose to ignore it or only read the last few posts.

The problem is when nothing is conributed in the ressurection, IE the person says "thats COOL" "wow" etc.
But I gues if it doesnt really bother people , Let the necro posts live! -Gordak

It is my personal belief that we should not go around saying "what a necro post" "thats a necro post" "this is so necro" etc. (Not to offend anyone that is.) If people have something to say that adds to the thread, or has a question about something, I would rather have that person dig up an old thread than post an entirely new one.
My 2 cents.

Like stated above..."wow" or "yeah..." Are necroposts...and your better off posting your question in an already started thread instead of a new one...I cant tell you how many, "I like to know which weapon I should buy..." Or "What impression should I do..." I know this might not be a necropost but bringing back to life some of the most frequently asked quesitions isnt exactly contributing to the good of the board. And any dead threads that ask questions like, "Who owns this gun...or item" and you respond a day late and a dollar short by saying "me too" or "I have 3" then why waste the time? If its your post count your worried about dont worry about it, that isnt your ranking on the field...you dont need to bring back dead posts just to get your post count up.

Unless they necro-post on a topic about necro-posting. Then it's entertaining irony. I'm thinking about Sadism, Necrophilia, and lollipops iality. -Am I flogging a dead horse here? Is there a way to NOT have this added to my post count? Making the joke is worth a penalty.
