Hey all!
I've noticed an uptick in necroposting lately, and I'm curious as to why. When I say necroposting, I'm specifically talking about posting to threads that have been dead for a year or more.
I've seen people necropost to personal ads long after OP left. I've seen people bump 14 year old threads where the majority of the users either deleted or are no longer on the site. Just last night, someone bumped a 4 year old post to leave personal medical data.
This is not a call out post. I'm genuinely curious as to why you do what you do.
I appreciate all of your responses!

Well, ill suggest the first thing that comes to mind: statistical anomaly.
Munchies:
Okay, but that doesn't answer my question. It just acknowledges that necroposting is a thing. Yeah, most people don't do it, but it still happens.
In the personals section it could be people getting to forum posts through profiles instead of the forums. It also doesn’t take very much scrolling to get to some pretty old threads here. It’s not the most active site on the planet.
