I just found out what Necroposting is, that is, posting on an old forum thread. I also found that this is, for whatever reason, often against the rules on various forum sites.
That seems like a strange thing to put a rule against, posting on an old forum. Seems like it's only a 'rule' to make it more convenient for the mods and not for any ACTUAL reason.
Pretty sure anyone should have the freedom to post on an old thread, unless I suppose, whatever question posed in that thread has already been answered and your post adds nothing relevant. But that isn't always the case.
What do you think?
