There are forums out there in which, if someone necro posts, EVEN IF IT IS RELEVANT, the mods create a new thread for the new content, and lock the old thread.

I'm probably one of folks who is most annoyed by necro posting - even with relevant content, going back more than a few months, or even a few weeks, is just silly.

We have sub-forums in which necro-posting CAN make sense here - i.e. the predator hunting reference section, or the gunsmithing projects section, both of which make sense to allow additional contributions over time, even long periods of time, or allow additional questions to the same REFERENCE TOPIC or project, but that's a very unique case.

It's one thing if the OP is still an active user, or if the time is not relevant (like asking questions about a gunsmithing project), but when the OP here hasn't been active in 14 years, this is just dumb.
