Dear Toxin.
 

Please stop necro-ing hella old threads. It's terribly annoying to the rest of us, especially when, as someone has already pointed out, there's already plenty of other interesting and more relevant things to discuss.

Thank you, and have a pleasant day.

lol seriously.
And really not cool calling out members like that. That's what PMs are for.

Thanks for advising us how etiquette works here. However, members with less than 300 posts can't send or receive PMs.

well then in that case I'd tell the OP to ignore it, get over it, and move on (:

You are wrong. This was handled in a sensible way, in a manner this forum and it's members are accustomed to. The OP got the message, and no harm was done. You, on the other hand, are digging a hole you may not be able to get out of.

Think twice (and longer if necessary) before advising someone who has been around close to three years and has close to 2400 posts on how to behave here. You haven't got a clue yet.

rawr, dig a hole for myself? lol
TEH INTERNET IS SRS BUSINESS

Oh, fuck off. You're not funny enough to pull off that condescending shit.

Astounding. I can actually hear every rock the blade of your shovel strikes.

In For the Newbies!! Yes, that means You!, it says:

"Do not make your own thread. First, get a goddamn clue and see if there is one already made that consists of the gist of your *sic* original thought, and do yourself a flame retardant favor, and post your idea/thought/epiphany/brainfart there. "

Perhaps this is where new people get the idea to necro threads? It is a bit of mixed signal.

agreed! Its not so cut and dry (:

You first. I don't need to entertain anyone.

This is not a system wide problem. The person doing the necroing responded positively to me in another thread, and she is no longer doing it.

Advising us that there are some part of the FAQ's that might lead to some misunderstanding is all well and good, but this thread imparted understanding. The rest of the posts that followed here are just BS.

Oh, and LenorePoe, knock it off. You're making a vaguely Asian woman cry a river!

Bitch, know your place. Under deez nutz!

Speaking for myself, it's not the bumping of threads in and of itself that I find so annoying - more the fact that people who do this virtually ALWAYS choose flesh-crawlingly inane topics like "What's ur goth-a-tude" or "Have u ever been mistaken for an emo". If some thread-Jesus came along and resurrected, say, the jazz thread, or anything with some actual substance, I wouldn't have a problem with that.

Well you know... you always could... just sayin'.

O_o

If I had been able to PM Toxin, I would have. I was not able to at the time, due to her low post count.

Also, yes, if it was only one or two oldies she brought back, I'd probably just let it go, but it seemed like it was more than that. What's more, others had asked her to stop, but she was still doing it. [This may have been a timing error, though, in which she posted in another thread before she saw the requests to stop; I really don't know.] Also, as Apathy said, the threads being brought back up weren't really...interesting. ["Gotha-tude"..? Seriously? lol ]

I agree the policy is confusing, but essentially [and this goes for just about any board I've been on], if the thread you're posting in is over a year old, then it's okay to make a new one. Just say that you saw an old thread, but thought it was better to make a new one when you create the new one, and no harm done. :)

Peace to you all.

well, not the "gotha-tude" one is really up and running...

^ ...what...?

Saying 'hella' is hella gay.
