Necro-threading

[Graal]

More so if the thread is like a year old and I only realise it after the 2nd or 3rd page of reading it.......

Or even worse, you fail to see the thread has been necro'ed, join in on the conversation and get moderated for encouraging the necro. Happened to me on another forum. :/

I think on most forums, threads should just get auto-locked after 4 weeks of inactivity. Almost like on the gamespot forums (horrible place that they are).

Well based on the different opinions and feedback I guess I learned one thing.
When searching a topic, check the date when the topic was started & date for the last reply`s and
if older than 4? weeks at least stipulate that I`m "restarting up the thread"

Next year I will necro this thread.

*sets alarm*

I see nothing wrong with Necro-ing, however usually during competitions some spammers revive old threads and such with comments Like "Yeah I agree" or "Lol!"

Replies formulated like that in no way adds to the discussion, so it could have just been left out...
