Necroposting question

52Percent:
If you’re saying that you’re not perfect then why do you seem so untouchable? Just a thought though.

Munchies:
What I want to know is what have I done that requires me to be touched?

52Percent:
Clearly you don’t get what I’m saying.

What I am trying to say that why do you say that you’re not perfect while you often times come off as someone who is perfect and does whatever it takes to come on top of the discussion?


Easy answer for you there.

I only post when I know what I'm talking about. If I don't, I don't post.

So, if I am arguing with someone about something, it's because there happens to be a right answer, and the other person is wrong. If they were right, I'd post supporting what they say. And I always do that - even if I do not like that person. When you are right, you are right.

Now, with that said, this post is about why people necropost. You are welcome to add your theories or even reasons why you necropost. This is not a Munchies appreciation post. If you wanna talk about why I'm so amazing, you can make a separate post.

Necroposting question

Munchies:
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.

Yeah, it's not intuitive at all. I only know this because someone who's been on the site for ages helped me out.

Can't unfollow a member

BBQSilver:
When I go to their profile it just shows the Follow button, and if I click it I get the "you're already following this member" error. Is it bugged?


The unfollow button is in a weird spot. To access it, you have to click the house icon at the top of the page. Once you are there, you will see everyone you're subscribed to.

There is an edit button. Click on that, and you can unfollow people.

Necroposting question

Karenjenk:
I've commented on older posts. Not shmure whybit woykd be bad to comment on one. Honestly this whole non issue seems to be brought about by someone who likes to feel important and raise awareness where none is needed


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.

Toilet habits

HectorBalloon:
Probably a shit diet.

It's possible to gain weight eating healthy foods and not junk, but perhaps not as fun.

I gained a similar amount in a similar time with no toilet troubles.

And a junky diet will also likely give you diabetes, cancer and blocked arteries, so you'll need a stent by the time you're 50, or you'll die. And you should get some diapers ready while you're at it.

JN_TumLover56:
Sheesh buddy you sound like a red pill dude or something like that.

Munchies:
How does he sounds like a red pill dude?

JN_TumLover56:
I know that this supposed to come from a good place especially when it comes to looking after your wellbeing. But the way how it’s being delivered really makes it sound like something that the Tate brothers would say anyone who would talk like this in the far-right-toned fitness/wellbeing industry. Heck, I’ve seen these kinds of “critically truthful” comments in a plus size influencer’s post.

I’m not trying to talk smack, nor go against anything self improvement. But the tone he was saying it is something to criticize to do better.


I dunno. Maybe I'm too autistic to pick up on it, but that's not the vibe I'm getting.

Either way, it's speculation on both our parts until Hector elaborates.

Necroposting question

Enas:
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!


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

Necroposting question

Munchies:
Makes sense.

Personally, I don't consider making a comment on a 5 day old post necroposting. Now, sometimes, I will see a comment that I missed from 3 or 4 days ago responding to something I said.

I usually respond to those unless the person is talking smack and the thread is long buried. No point in doing that, imo. That's just being messy.

JN_TumLover56:
Holy sh!t Munchies agreed with something I said?? Someone call Guinness, this is a miracle!!

All jokes aside though I do see your point. I wouldn’t consider commenting on a post 5 days ago necroposting either, it’s more like I am late for commenting because life got in the way. But still though it is a tough call with what is acceptable for commenting on an old forum post and what isn’t. It’s like what’s I mentioned on what’s the intention behind it is.


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