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!

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!

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.

I tried looking for options on Reddit. Most responses says therapists would rather talk than write or text since it isn't deemed as professional. I wish us patients can write first that way we can get comfortable once we feel read to see eachother face to face.
I would only advice you to prepare before hand, meaning, dont wait for the session to think about your thoughts, do that in your free time & write down stuff! Then give that to the therapists! It will be very helpfull i think!
