    I just posted on some forum threads and it says please don't necro threads. What does that mean?

    • There is to be no "necroing" of threads, which includes the following criteria:
      • Bumping a thread that has not been posted on in over 2 weeks, unless the content of the thread has become relevant to be opened for discussion again.
      • Bumping a thread that has not been posted on in over a week in order to flame, troll, or cause a problem.

    Basically, if a thread has not been responded to in 2 weeks +, it is a "necro" thread.
    Even if you are on-topic, and posting your opinion, and you post after it has not been active, it gets locked.

    Can I ask why is that you are so strict here about necro? I frequent some forums, and people are actually encouraged to dig up old threads and post new stuff they found about the topic, instead of posting new threads. Forum looks a lot cleaner and information is systematically stored and easy to access.

    Just wondering

    If its new information about a relevant topic then that's perfectly fine.
