They're not dead just because there's at least one month since anyone posted in them and the notion that avoiding them somehow makes us more original or whatever, is simply ridiculous. This is the internet. Nothing ever dies and nothing goes away. But not even that, rather, it's information. And information is sacred. We don't burn it at the stake. We preserve it and put it to good use.

I disagree with your definition of death.

The untouched threads are akin to being in a persistent vegetative state or coma. Your attempts at reviving them is your choice.
We're all grown ups, for the most part. If you don't want to post in an old thread, don't. Let the others do whatever they want.

RE: Necroposting
EP, please calm down. You had a fair question, it was answered. There's no need for histrionics.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

It's the way it was answered I take issue with. Don't pretend like this is one-sided.

I'm not looking for a fight. I got my answers, thank you for providing them.

I gave you a straight answer. Don't pretend like I want to pick a fight with you.

Ok, that's fine. Far as I'm concerned that's the end of it.

I wasn't talking about you. Never mind.


As for necroposting, maybe more experience with it would make me reach the same conclusions you all did. As it is, I can't know that yet, and I'm not taking anyone at his word. I heard your reasons, they didn't convince me otherwise. I'll just have to see why necroposting is frowned upon for myself.

Did someone mention fight?

Not me, I never start fights. I merely end them.
