Dear new/stupid forumers,

Stop necroposting, you can get banned for that, there's no point of bringing an old thread back, read it and keep the comments to yourself unless it's really important.

It's hard to use the forum nowadays thanks to you, all i see is old threads, stop giving the MODs troubles and learn to think like people do, ok?

Agreed, but I'd rather a semi-necropost [for example, a 1 or 2 month old thread] being posted than another thread being made, which can lead to much more trolling. Then again, some new forumers just hit that search button, and look as far as 12 months, then try to post there.

Some people don't know there's a search button, the search button is the only thing that the others see.

If a user has new and relevant content, reviving an old thread is acceptable. Doing it for fun is not.

What is worse...1 or 2?

1)Searching and then necroposting
2)Starting a new thread without first searching (ie: M12 vs SL)

Most of the times is to troll, so...

2 IMO

Necroposting is bad, but you can read the thread, but the 2nd option is worst cuz there's no point of reading it anyway

2 because it gets so annoying if the entire barracks is filled with the same thread.

IMO It does not matter as long as the person is serious and not messing around. You may want to necro a post because it already has some contributions written in it. You may wish to start a new thread because the contributions in the thread may have a one sided discussion and you want people to be open minded rather than picking up on whats already written in the thread.
