    Default Thread necromancy

    Since old threads are periodically revived I was thinking, do you ever revive dead threads, or are you tempted to? If so, what are your reasons for doing it?

    I remember one FASCINATING newbie thread of OLD MANUS revived by our dear SCOTTNUMBERS. Truly classic.

    It really depends on the moderators' view on it. On another forum, if the user posts something on-topic and otherwise is still contributing, it's okay. Most forums seem to frown upon thread necromancy however.

    I'm too lazy to dig for old threads. So I let them die...

    I see little wrong with thread necromancy. Moderators are all "Don't spam topics!" But they're also all "Don't revive dead topics!" but they don't tell you where the line is and you're just trying to follow the rules and then Emma comes along and ;____;. I have to tell the court where she touched me with one of those toy dolls they use.

    i frequently revived topics on a message board, although not deliberately. and this reason has partially to contribute, other than my opinion of ezboard being so crummy:
