I didn't know where to stick this... I'm not a newcomer so newcomers section wouldn't work... We need an "Ask Questions Section"... Ok so is Necroposting frowned upon here? Necroposting is posting on a dead topic. Just lemme now.
As a general rule of thumb, look through topics less than two weeks old before creating a new thread to make sure you don't create a repeat topic. If you can't find anything within that time-frame create your own, don't go back and bring back an old one. It may have been resolved or is off on a tangent.
It actually depends, Bringing back a pointless topic that has already been solved or had no point in the first place is a "No,No" But bringing back a good topic so it isn't remade is fine-diddilly-ine.
Thank you so much. This will help me. Necroposting on this I guess would be a no no because it's solved. Most forum sites I go to hate necroposting, but this is different.

That doesn't mean you can't ask a question there.
I once did Necroposting. I went back ten pages in the Support and Suggestions to find an old thread of mine. But I remember that one guy did it and got shouted at by others because it wads a very old thread.
i thought this was posting at night-time (necro = dark) O.o
I first thought this thread was something to do with nasty posting.\\

That would take longer to sift through than to write the post. I suggest that older users go back into their memory and see if they once posted on a similar topic. I do that a lot.
Sometimes people complain about it, but it's totally fine, according to the mods.
Unless it happens to be the oldest thread in the section(On the last page of this forum).
Bring really old thread back to life if you havea valid point to discuss about the topic and do not want to make a vestigal secondary thread is fine most of the time.
Bumping, on the other hand, is simply to bring a topic back to the top of the list of current threads (mostly with a pointless post) and is teh badz.

Necro actually means dead, not dark. Or something close to dead, anyway... Necrotic tissue is dead tissue?
