Well, if you disable necroposting in the software, you're going to see more repeat threads, as newcomers want to discuss a topic that has fallen off the radar. Yes, you will be able to say, "There's eighteen threads on that, go look them up", but people join forums for discussion, not research.
I think necroposting is not necessarily a bad thing, so long as it's not being done to shitstir. Even necroing a good discussion from a year ago can be interesting, as it gives folks a chance to revisit the topic and see how their views might or might not have changed.
