If someone can give me a good explanation as to why it's so inexcusably offensive I'll gladly listen, but as things stand now I don't get it.
9 x out of 10 the OP is no longer around, making responses redundant in as many cases.Sure it can stimulate conversations again but it's much better to start a new thread (perhaps even linking to the old one) so both new and old members can approach it from a freash angle.
Also, 'gainst the guidelines.
Only any problem if posts directly addressing members since departed.
Should really be an observed nuance. There's times when necroposting launches a subject past where an original post could bring it... and there's times when it's simply fun for reflection. Fresh angle just isn't as interesting to me as coming back and seeing where I was years and years ago
It's mostly a fun happenstance... it's a nice tool for sharing an experience, and reading some of our threads? It's an experience worth having
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
