Necroposting

Kitsune:
On an old account, I created a thread about finding the original photo of a magazine photo. Which consists of a famous BHM celebrity in a suggestive pose. It isn't lost media per say. However, the existing copy so far is a low quality phone capture found on Pinterest.

As of now, I think I found the lead to the photo. A few days back I was curiously looking up magazines of said celebrity and there was similar photos in a magazine. Which I think is where my holy grail came from since the style is pretty similar.

Now, enough with my rambling and onto the topic. I was wondering what is considered necroposting? I know it is frowned upon here to revive dead posts. I thought of bringing back my old post about the aforementioned findings and personally to me I think it should be ok because I am the original poster. Afterall, I've seen this happen in the Lost Media Wiki where people who find new leads update their threads.

It makes me ask a question. What is considered old? When is the discussion officially over?

There doesn't seem to be a dead-set rule regarding necroposting. But then again I have never read the TOS. If there isn't a rule, I hope it get implemented that way we won't make any mistakes. Maybe users can share a link to their previous blog in their new post that way people can get the context.

Also I think there should be a pinned thread about the rules of necroposting. Just make sure the tone is friendly for us ND folks.


In my opinion, posting on an old thread means you might miss the full context due to deleted posts from inactive accounts, which can take away some of the nuance. I don’t necessarily frown upon it, and it’s not technically against the website rules, but since there’s no limit to posting on forums, why not just start a new thread? You can always link to an older thread and reference it if you think it’s relevant using the forums bbcode.
