Thread: Thread necromancy

  1. #16

    Default

    I do it accidentally sometimes... I just search random words... Or for something interesting...etc.... and i post in some ancient threads without realising that they've already started to decompose.
    I don't bother looking at the dates.

    Why would anyone be bothered to do that?

    Dead threads are great if you want to knit a dead sweater.

    The same for me. Although there's been a couple of times when someone had revived an old thread and I didn't notice how it had been dead for a long time, and then I posted in that thread.

    If I see a thread that looks interesting, I post in it. I don't really bother looking at dates to see if i'm reviving the dead.

    Bumping threads which should not be bumped is against the rules.

There are very few exceptions to this rule, and if you still want to bump an old thread and are not sure if it's okay, just PM an Administrator or Cid's Knight and we'll let you know if it's okay.
    Tada! I bump threads only if I deem them 'bumpable' - for example the Quotes thread, the Movie Rating thread and the like.

    'Update' threads would be an exception. (Someone's game challenge, etc.)

    I never revive old threads, unless they are my own.
