Sudden jump in unread posts...

[O4L]

I always open the forum looking at unread posts.

I see the number of how many there are and think "wow there is more activity here than usual lately" just to find that it is some guy pulling up necro threads and posting on a bunch of things that the conversation had gone cold on long ago apparently padding their post count.

What the heck kind of indoctrination crap did you all do at the last ENS to create this monster! [emoji16]

I think a lot of "necro thread" resurrecting people dont look at the date the
first and last posts

I think they see Similar Threads at the bottom, read it and post without ever looking at the dates.

Your damned if you post the same thing thats been posted in 20 different past threads, and your damned if you necropost. I don't mind reading necroposts as much as a new thread on same subjects.

It's that way in other forums as well. I'm a moderator at an RV forum, and the owner of the website and forum prefers that we NOT reply to any thread that is over a year old.

The majority of the thought is that when one "revives" an old thread, subsequent readers think that it may be new and that the earlier posts (sometimes many years old) are new as well. However, one can find that the earlier posts contain information that is out of date or products that are no longer available.

I have to explain this to folks there. What really gets me are the ones that state, "I know this is an old thread, but..."

To which I explain, "Then instead of reviving an old one, start a new one."
