I read the old threads all the time,(long before B.C,Bill came) is a wealth of info from the olden days.
Would never necropost for fear of being ridiculed,So I never do.

A necromancer and a necrophile walk into a bar...

Wait, I think it's too early for necroposting, so you'll have to wait at least a couple of years for the rest.

Is that the one where one says to the other, "This place is dead, let's go somewhere else." ..........

My only pet peeve with Necroposts is when people answer not realizing the original post is 5 years old

I think it's a little funny when I answer a new post posted to an old thread and then realise I've already posted. Then I wonder if the post I just posted contradicts what i posted before. Linking does seem to be a better idea, however, having said that, when someone revives one of my threads I'm actually quite chuffed...

Close - they see that the bartender is a necroposter and leave in disgust by the lowlife

Gugi this is all that came to mind when you said lowlife lol!

If the subject of an old thread isn't dependent on a short-lived event, posting to it could make the thread even more interesting or instructive. Why put an artificial time limit on such a discussion? The beauty of electronic bulletin boards is that they so effectively span distance and time. Sort of like a good (paper) book.
