Kid Airbag Posted March 2, 2002 Well, since the threads lock themselves every month or so anyway (another forum bug), basically anything that's unlocked is fair game. 0 Share this post Link to post
fodders Posted March 2, 2002 Noooooo. Ling deff said resurrecting old threads is naughty 0 Share this post Link to post
Kid Airbag Posted March 2, 2002 Hmm. I seem to remember Lüt saying "Anything that's open is fair game, as long as you make a resonable reply to it", but I guess if Ling said that then his vote outweighs Lüt's. 0 Share this post Link to post
pritch Posted March 2, 2002 Well, since the threads lock themselves every month or so anyway (another forum bug), basically anything that's unlocked is fair game. I don't think it's a forum bug, I think it's implemented on purpose to prevent Buttsex-esque people from coming back and replying to something from August. I don't think I'd reply to anything over a week without a reply myself, most people have given up caring then, that's the hint, anyway :) 0 Share this post Link to post
dsm Posted March 2, 2002 Lüt doesn't mind people who resurrect open old threads, but don't even THINK about it in the Doom 3 forum, or Zaldron and Flathead will play football (Soccer) with your head. 0 Share this post Link to post
Kid Airbag Posted March 3, 2002 I don't think it's a forum bug, I think it's implemented on purpose to prevent Buttsex-esque people from coming back and replying to something from August.Actually, I'm almost positive it's a bug. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted March 3, 2002 As long as you have something important to say (read : more than 5 sentences), you'll be fine. Resurrect a thread just to post "postcount++" and you'll get a title that fits your IQ. 0 Share this post Link to post
nxn Posted March 3, 2002 too many rules for posting on a forum in my opinion, but whatever. 0 Share this post Link to post
Vominus Posted March 4, 2002 Who cares if it's an old thread? I'm a fairly new member, and what if I find an older thread that is very interesting to me? Further more, what if I have something I feel is worth saying? For that reason I see nothing wrong with replying to threads of any age. Of course I agree that it's innapropriate to do it just for the sake of raising your post count, but if you've got something to say then say it for hell's sake. One of the reasons I've stuck to this forum is because of how random and open it can be. Sure some threads get light years away from their original purpose, or from Doom, but isn't that the whole point?? p.s. I like the little bit about turning pop-ups off at the bottom of the reply screen, very helpful. 0 Share this post Link to post
