And this where our argument comes to an end. We both have different opinions on this matter, and we both cling to them. You disagree with me, and disagree with you.
I just don't see your points strong enough on to change my point of view. This necroposting with pointless posts isn't a big problem as it seems.

I don't get the point in all this.

Stop making things up!
I never said we NEED members to necropost dead threads, and it's only your guess on why people necropost threads. And even, IF somebody's intention of necroposting was just to wait for others opinions, will it kill you if you open a revived thread and nothing useful to you, will the forum crash because of that? no, either you'll:
1) just make another irreverent post which has nothing to do with the topic.
2) just post flaming that person for necroposting the
which is also irrelevant,
3) just ignore it and move on,
4) if the topic is interests you, you'll contribute by posting something interesting and NOT pointless.
