<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Surely thread necro'ing should be acceptable at times?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/54.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Surely thread necro'ing should be acceptable at times?
I was just reading a thread that essentially got necro'd... but rather than it being some random just writing "I agree", a few people had actually added decent points (and imo just enhanced the discussion). Why are necro'd threads indiscriminately blasted on sight? Surely it's much easier to post on an existing thread than just make a new one (and thus lose aforementioned points)?

Not saying necro'ing is never bad, however...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/298426/1634056.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/298426/1634056.page GMT Surely thread necro'ing should be acceptable at times?

That was the thread that prompted me to make this one, I don't understand why it was closed.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/298426/1638042.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/298426/1638042.page GMT Surely thread necro'ing should be acceptable at times?

OT called " I like apples". I either said what I came to say or forgot about it for say six months, then I find out some interesting fact about apples I want to share. Is it necrothreading if I post in that old thread?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/298426/1642149.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/298426/1642149.page GMT Surely thread necro'ing should be acceptable at times?
The problem is that usually when a person raises a thread, it's into multiple pages, and so a lot of readers are shocked that a massive thread appeared while they were away. It can also make people read through pages and pages of posts to reach your new facts.

What's just better for everybody is to post a thread like "I still like apples", like to the old thread, and then post your new stuff.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/298426/1642526.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/298426/1642526.page GMT Surely thread necro'ing should be acceptable at times?
