Spoiler

Actually my hammer is only inflatable... >.> I got last pick from the Ban weaponry.

Still works though!

Also stop pimping me out in the thread xD

 

[Hawk of Battle]

The Holy Inquisition stands with you!

Destroy the heretics! Purge the unclean! Kill the alien! Including those on our own side!!

Prepare for Exterminatus!

 

[Spitfire]

Oh it is a dark power that only few dare to wield. Yet there has been a dangerous increase in the dark art of late. It has claimed the dignity of many innocents who unknowingly post in a thread that should have been laid to rest long ago....

I'm calling together an army, but I need all of you, the Escapist community, to rise up, and face the evil force head on! To report the corrupted beings who dare interrupt the rest of a thread that has done it's duty, and only wishes to rest in peace!

You assume that a thread's age is indicative of its relevance. You also assume that it's against the rules to post in older threads. You're wrong on both accounts.

 

[lRookiel]

Snipper Snap

Why did that make me laugh so much?

Also it's not pimping, It's.... Endorsing (Ok I'll stop :3)

Prepare for Exterminatus!

Thank you Hawk, I hope that Exterminatus is aimed at Kronus We shall destroy the necrons and their evil ways along with them!

 

[Aeshi]

And if you succeed you'll just end up whining that "thread X has been done before OMG"

In most cases it is, because yesterday I posted in a thread about Yahtzee being Rickrolled by EA, that was from over a year ago, it's no longer thought of, let alone considered relevant to anything anymore. Also, if it's not against the rules then why do I see users getting warnings for necro'ing threads? Pfft.

Anyway, enough explaining my case to you, I have evil to destroy!

i'm starting to think you don't own any of these things! necromancers are walking about and you're having an online wang measuring contest.

OT: re-reading some of the stupid stuff you said in the past helps remind you of what to say in the future. long live necromancy.

 

[Your Fearless Captain]

Since I don't live on these forums I don't care about Thread Necromancy.

 

[Sandjube]

Foolish mortals...to think you can actually stop the necrotic powers of our legions.

Your forces will fall, like they always do, and old threads will grow in number 'till they outnumber even the pony threads! Heh..haha....HAHAHA. MWAHAAHAHAHAAAAA...*wheeze*

I'm not aging well.

That doesn't make any sense. You were interested enough in the thread to post in it, so clearly it still has some relevance.
This is a discussion board, not a news reel. There is no reason why someone shouldn't be allowed to post in an older thread, as long as the thread has discussion value, and people are still interested in it.

Also, if it's not against the rules then why do I see users getting warnings for necro'ing threads? Pfft.

Well, the few times that I've seen someone get a warning for that, it wasn't because they "necro'd" the thread per se, but rather because their post was either inflammatory, off-topic, or had low content, and the poster had no legitimate reason to resurrect the thread.

what? >.> you mean that wasn't the point?

oh i like this *changes sides*

 

[Space Spoons]

I really don't understand what the fuss is here. Bumping up an older thread isn't against any rule I'm aware of, and it helps cut back on thread duplicates by bringing back discussions that have already happened.

Certainly, it's not worth getting worked up into a Crusader-ish frenzy over.

 

[ClockworkPenguin]

Is it just me, or have there been substantially more necro'd threads since this one was created? Maybe i'm just noticing more, but i'm suspicious...

 

[rekabdarb]

Quick! Fetch the church elders and some holy water! This evil must be eradicated!

But yeah it is annoying when you click on a seemingly normal thread...and it's from a year ago.

But if a thread is truly truly fabulous then it needs no time context.

To toot my own horn, i did a squareenix bashing about 3/4 years ago. Which still holds to this day. I think they are shit and the rest of the world is finally realizing this. Or devoted defending them. One or the other.

Plus someone other than me actually ressed it on accident when i used it in an argument a while ago.
