PSA: Update to necroposting rule

[Anomalocaris]

There's nothing wrong with making a new thread.  It's just that there's already a thread about that topic, and at one point, not so long ago, it had legs.  

It could walk again, if not declared arbitrarily dead.  This rule is unnecessary.  But, that's the thing about legs.

You've got the anology backward. 

What you're asking for is the equivalent of not buying a new car because its gas/petrol reading says half full. But instead, going to an impound lot, finding the oldest possible car that hasn't been used in ages and jump-starting that because it's meter says full.

Also and hear me out, The next thread starter can just link to the old thread so anyone can catch up.  If the old thread was that important and talk worthy it wouldn't have gone cold for 3 months.

It may not be a hot topic except with a few people.   But hat does not change the fact that for those few people the conversation can continue at their own pace.

Do you think it is more important for a discussion forum to be a happenin’ place, or a free and fruitful place?
