Thread Necromancy Card Poll

[USEC_OFFICER]

Well?

[ProgrammingFun]

Eh? Whats that?

[Turing_Gamer]

Are you joking???

Here is a s*** load of Thread Necromancy Cards and Pictures I just found...

[USEC_OFFICER]

It is just that I was talking about the Necrothread card, and the person said that he didn't think it was useful. Thus a poll was born.

[SNIPERDUDE]

All of the other text components of the other cards don't seem as good.
"I agree."

[USEC_OFFICER]

They just don't capture the strength of the compsci uses. It tells you everything you need to know about thread necromancy, while still being a paragraph long.

I think it's good when used right, most of the time that I see it is when someone posts something useful in the thread, which, as far as I'm concerned is perfectly okay.

[Insectoid]

Turing_gamer, that's EXACTLY the search I used to find the picture originally. Anyway, I hit 'I don't care', 'cause really, I don't care.

[btiffin]

Don't care. Necroposting is ok in a place like this where the threads stick around for as long as the disks slash ISP.

A little different for say Usenet. Posts are not retained in a consistent manner for Usenet groups on various servers.

I never mind reading through years old material. Programmers usually grok quickly, and google is making it a world where our internet knowledge base is worthy of decades of commentary in a useful form as it turns out. And yes I count the opinions of new, or weird or useless, people as knowledge base.

i think the self-moderating on this forum has gotten to extreme levels. do u guys rly need to point out when someone necros a post. who honestly cares? let the thread die rather than rebooting it without backseat moderating. its rude and unnecessary.

You'll notice that the mods tend not to stop the necroposting, maybe you should take the lead from them?

QFT.

If anything we lock the thread.

[Turing_Gamer]

To moderators: If need be, to stop necroposting, add code saying if the post is 7 days old from latest post, then lock the reply system on that thread

[Euphoracle]

Or y'all can just stop whining about it.
