Thread Necromancy or bumping

Hopefully this is the right place to ask this as I have not been able to find an answer yet.

 

What is the site policy with regards to re-activating older threads?  Some sites I know have a 6 month policy, others simply make a new entry and bump the thread to the active listings.  Some sites are really strict about it so trying to figure out what the status is here.

Typically on this site, bumping of old threads (even really old threads) is encouraged as opposed to making new ones.

 

For the most part, I think folks only create new threads if they cannot find an old discussion suitable to what they want to talk about.

Just to clarify, Wexler is absolutely right. We have no problem with bumping old threads.

Equally, if you want to generate a completely new discussion and ignore the older threads, that is also fine.

In this case it can often be useful to post a link to the older thread, for members who wish to, to read wider on the subject.

Just remember that some of the members on older threads may not be active posters today.

monsno!!!!!  You finally made it!  Hey, dude!  :wavex:

 

Yeah, we actually talk about magic here.

 

It's preferred if you bump old threads or link it if it's an offshoot.  Some of the threads go years back with year long intermissions and they're definitely worth reading all the way through.  I asked about necro posting when I got here, too.

 

Also, on the main page on the right side is a panel with the newest posts and shoutbox shouts.  (I just found it)  We just chit chat over there.  It's very cool.

Was yours the post when I got really confused and thought you wanted to talk about necrophilia? I remember thinking - that's a bit strong! (I'd never heard the term necro posting before!!)
