Common logic says that asking people to make posts meaningful is a good thing.

This post just proves that you didn't bother reading my and noodles posts in the beginning, otherwise you'd understand what I meant by saying that I don't care what they write. Just because you don't care about the dead threads, it doesn't mean that everyone here has the same opinion as you.

Common logic? You can ask them, hell, you can create a thread or make a rule asking people to make meaningful posts, but this is a forum, in case you forgot, people join everyday, but if they don't bother to read the rules when they join, then why do you think they'll bother to read something that asks them to do something they might not/don't like.

Oh, not you, please don't jump into conclusions.

Contrary to you, when I see an inactive thread being revived, and I had posted in there, and I check out and the last post is just 'I agree'... it just pisses me off. No contribution is just plain useless. Bumping a thread is prohibited in most big forum communities and you should be aware of that.

I take it as your opinion, but I don't agree with it. Like I stated in first post, if a thread isn't closed it's still active no matter how old it is. To me reviving an old thread with the 'I agree' post is the same as posting 'I agree' in an active one that is in the first page.



I gave a good example of how necroposting is might prove useful, but I don't see any good examples of why is it bad besides the 'I pisses me off when I see a revived thread with a pointless post' and MMM's silly argument that necroposts push the active threads into the second page.
