I was having an argument with someone the other day about necrobumping (posting in old threads). I was pro-necrobumping.
We havent had a lot of sway either way on that. I have seen a few people tell others to not bring old threads back to life.
Personally i like necro bumping. One example of the conflict of forcing out necrobumping by locking threads after X timeframe is reddit. I have often came to a reddit thread that had outdated information and wanted to post on it to update the method, but after 1 year you cannot. I like when i come across a thread of something im unfamiliar with and new post years later says "this is the new method". As i wasnt even aware i was reading an older version/content.
However that is completely different than hijacking/or asking a new question on an old thread.
And i was wondering what this community thought of necrobumping?
