Since I don't feel like going into another full bore rant about this, I'll just link to the previous one.
Seriously, I could be looking at a thread that talks about (though doesn't come up with a solution for) the exact issue I may be having with a thing, but then the very last post is some mod asininely saying something like "Hey folks, I'll be locking this thread to avoid further necro-posting as it's quite old. Feel free to create a new thread if you'd like to start up the discussion again, thanks!" No, fuck you, and fuck your dumbshit arbitrary anti-necropost rules.
And again, it's a total crapshoot as to whether any given forum will get pissed at you for necroposting or if they'll get pissed at you for doing the polar opposite, i.e. daring to start a new thread when a perfectly good thread on the subject already exists from a thousand years ago which hasn't seen activity for nine hundred years. In that case, they'd really rather you keep a conversation confined to a single thread, rather than "cluttering up the forum" with new threads willy-nilly.
Huh, well, it looks like I got into another rant on the subject anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
