Necroposting question

I dont understand why necroposting is seen as something bad in the first place.

Personal ads aside. Why not add something in a discussion under a post that has not reached a conclusion? (And a lot of posts remain without a conclusion) Why care if it is even 1 year dead? Even if the original people are long gone, you can't limit all the potential interest of the discussion to only them! To say that, definetely, nobody else will be ever interested to see the discussion and then some conclusion!

...
because it implies that they were digging through threads and threads of content
...


There is a plethora of ways to seek a post. There is a search function, then you can also access them from profiles' activity pages, etc.

But even if someone were to dig into it...

...
it just is and it’s kinda spooky.


Why is that the case? Spooky because someone got an interest which makes them search through the forums? I really dont think its spooky!

This thread is less about why necroposting is considered rude and more about why people do it.

Again, I am stressing that this weird beef you have with me in your head is extremely one-sided.


I was making a joke about it. But this is your thread post anyways, not mine.

Yeah I also personally don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. As long as what you have to say is still relevant to the said topic and not spamming anything. 😅

Salt.


And pepper! Or vinegar.


Thought having salt, pepper and vinegar do make for an interesting combination on French fries.

It's giving "I'm mad because Munchies keeps telling people not to do what I do."

Also, were you sober when you typed that? I know I'm shit at spelling, but you are usually pretty good about that.

Well maybe some day we will find out why but for now we know ITS FREAKIN HECKIN OKAY TO DO IT and munchies is just the fun police.


It's so funny how many people are butt hurt about it. I made it very clear that this was not a call-out post. I never said people who necropost are bad and need to be flogged for their crimes.

I just wanted to know why they do what they do. That's it.

But, when some people think about me, they see me like this:



Which is fine. It's not an accurate depiction of who I am, but there are worse things to be accused of.

If you’re saying that you’re not perfect then why do you seem so untouchable? Just a thought though.
