Necro posting. Does this forum frown upon it or not?

[Ringworm128]

Is ok to bump threads? Or is it best to make a new one if the old thread has been inactivate for a certain amount of time?

According to the rules: http://wiki.evageeks.org/EvaGeeks_Forum_Rules_and_Guidelines
Yes it is.

D. Necromancy:

Bumping threads as described in A. is fine. However, gratuitous necromancy — bumping old threads for no constructive reason — is inappropriate.

When a forum gets to be as big as this one, you can be guaranteed there's an appropriate thread somewhere. It's better to have one thread for a topic rather than multiple.

So please, utilize the list of threads as best as you can.

What about if the thread has a similar subject, but isn't entirely relevent for whatever reason? For example, I always feel a bit awkward resurrecting 10 year old threads. Another example is when I have commentary on one character's actions but a thread exists for the same actions by another character in the same context, do I post a new thread or post on the old one?

Just use your judgement on whether your new post would be on topic in the old thread; if so, go ahead and bump it. If you think it doesn't quite fit, start a new thread. Just make sure you are actually adding something new to any thread you bump. Don't resurrect an old thread just to say "I agree with that last guy".

Also, always use the search feature to see if something you want to talk about already has a topic.

I'm pretty sure negro posting is surer way to ban

Oh Finland, you so crazy.

I've never been able to get the search function to work for whatever reason.

OT: I'd personally just make a new thread. The powers that be might get annoyed, but it's likely not something you'll get warned for or anything.

You will, and we have, if you continue to keep doing it, though.
