I just can't figure out peoples obsessions with post counts. Its like the higher the number the more people they think will take them seriously or their d*** will get bigger.

I'll put money down say these dudes didn't just necro this forum.

GAT is for postcount. some people swear by it

:has no "d***" to worry about

necro-posting??

It's a term someone coined back on the pre-beta forums. Hadn't heard it before then or seen it used anywhere else. It's a SWG original

And yep, like Pappi said, it's bringing an old post back from the depths of the forums.

hrm, I thought it was pretty common.

/noob on..........sorry...but what is necro-posting?

basically, posting in really old posts, usually to bump it.

shouldnt there be some kind of reasonable time limit on how long a post stays on the forums? ie, 6 months, something like that? I dont think that there is much need for posts older then that, unless they are the FAQor one of the stickies at the top, in witch case maybe there could be an exception made..

A necromancer is a person that animates the dead...kinda brings them back from being dead.

Necroposting is bringing life to a thread (posting on it) that has been dead for a long time. (15 months in some of the cases in the last week)
