Ahah, that has made my nightTopazFusion said:Well, the person you quoted made the mistake of doing it on their main account.Lilani said:The only thing I don't get is why they do it with throwaway accounts. I mean it's always a new account that does it, and they never post again, except maybe to revive another thread.
And personally I don't like thread necromancy, because it's never done in the spirit of "continuing the discussion." It's just some random idiot who is having a laugh, and is doing it in the most cowardly way possible. I mean necroing threads isn't even breaking the rules, there's no need for a throwaway account.
Perhaps they should've used a throwaway account...

I agree.Th3Ch33s3Cak3 said:I think thread necromancy is a good thing.
I hate that. You feel like a complete moron for responding to someone who made the post years ago, you almost feel stupider than the person who necro'ed the thread in the first place!Philol said: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.

You probably did it on purpose, but that post you're quoting right there is from more than a year ago.FireAza said:I hate that.
