Reviving old topics

[Constance]

Are we allowed to revive old topics? I know it sounds dumb but I revived my old welcome topic and it seemed ok.

But....

What about say advertisements or old resources or something.

And to make things worse it would make it a double post you know? >,<

It's called necroposting, posting in a topic that's at least a week old.

So would that be like a double whammy offense to post in an old topic and I had the last comment, or is this ok crankeye?

Just wondering....

It's better to simply bring back the old topic than create a duplicate. So it's ok.

it's ok unless you say:
thanks
omg i got too
i like rice

or anything stupid that doesn't help anyone

also if 1 asked for help 10 months ago freaking don't help cause they don't need it no more XD

Well I'd have thought that was obvious, but then again with this forum :roll:

To make it clear for people who need it spelled out:

It's ok when you have something important to say. Meaning nothing like what blue mentioned, those are no-no's.

It's ok if you are the author of the topic.

It's ok in Forum Games (obviously).

It's better than posting a new topic if there is one that already exists. (Like Silverline said).

I remember reading a post Crankeye made once where he said it was ok to bump or "gravedig" as it's so popularly called around here, so I never say anything about it anyway. But those who do think that reviving old topics is a crime against humanity (Such as Soul), then that's what the above is for.

If you are going to update some of your scripts I suggest editing the first post and make a new post just telling that you have updated the script and have edited the first post.
