As a guy who also has a gross disdain for necroposting...
If my dog pisses on the floor, I'm prone to let him know I don't approve, every time.
If my son tries to stick his finger in an electrical outlet, I'm prone to let him know I don't approve, every time.
If someone drives too fast down the lane road beside our church playground during Sunday school, I'm prone to let them know I don't approve, every time.
If someone necroposts...
I agree. I think threads that haven't had a new post in 5 years should be made read-only and dropped in an archive or something. If its relevant and has value, it should either have been made a sticky or still be somewhat active. On other forums, I've seen some humorous threads that get an annual bump for kicks and giggles, and I'm OK with that. Dragging up a fossil that literally has no real content in it at all is just silly, and I'm not sure I get the point that's trying to be made by it.
