Old topic is old
Permalink   


I've noticed this problem for a while, but before, I wasn't really able to do anything about it.

There's a little thing about reviving topics that have been inactive since 2007... or even early 2008. A lot of the time, newer users dredge up old topics just to reply to users who no longer visit LUO.

As such, I would personally advise users to stop reviving topics that are more than a few months gone. If no one's been posting there since April - or early 2007, for that matter - it's kind of pointless to add new information there.

Those of you who've been doing this know who you are.

Revival of super-old threads, no matter how awesome, will result in a warning. You get two warnings; on the third, you will be banned.

Yeah, I know this is touchy, but please, just use your brains. It's pretty obvious that a topic is DEAD when it hasn't been touched in months.

This rule pretty much goes into effect... well, now.

Or us mods could lock or delete the topic so we wouldn't have to have too many bans.

I would prefer locking the topic, to be quite honest. XD

Some of the older posts and memories are fun to look back on.

I agree with this, especially in the pairings section. It annoys me when people keep bringing old Acexi topics to the top... They all say the same thing. -__-

I do suppose there are a few exceptions to be made... like the "________ Army" threads. Of course, they could always surreptitiously steal the banners, but I gather that people like to tell everyone that they're going to support a character. XD
