We have a pandemic on our hands...

[Jedamethis]

I once necro'd a thread by accident. It was awful. I felt awful. Sorry. ;~;

 

[SEXTON HALE]

Well this just makes things kind of awkward.
This thread just does'nt seem to be making things any better does it?

 

[Snotnarok]

Not that I've done such a thing (as I can barely get a thread past 3 posts) but if you can't 'necro' a thread and others yell for repeating a thread, how does one post about something that subject?

 

[Luke3184]

I've seen mod wrath handed out for thread necromancy, so, use the report button? I guess?

You have my sword!

And my bow!

And my Pauldrons!

And my bike!

What? It's a pretty bike.

Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and for thy possession, the ends of the earth. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron. Thou shalt dash them in pieces, like a potters vessel. Be wise now therefore ye kings. Be admonished ye judges of the earth. Serve the lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the son lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, though his wrath be kindled but a little!

And my overly-large bayonets!

(Yes, it's great to join the escapist ranks. This is indeed a fitting first post)

And my space-battleship!

Oh, and welcome to the Escapist. Get out while you still can.

And my Deathstar!

This is stupid.

When someone makes a new thread people say "OMG USE THE SEARCH"

When someone uses the search people say "OMG WHY Y U NECRO THIS??!?!??!"

The community needs to stop being hypocritical. Have it one way or the other.

Either let people make/necro threads or stop all discussion at all and let the forum die.

This. Create a new thread for a topic that's been done to death and you'll get image macros and calls to use the Search bar, you noob. Necro a thread to avoid having to create one, and you get called at for necroposting.

Choose, people. Either way, you're not stopping the newbloods from asking us if we've gone Imperial or Stormcloak via another rendition on that freaking old poll; because *their* interrogation feels genuine and special to them.

I agree with this as well, but it seems that we are the minority.

Either way STFU and go find something more productive to do.

If your with us, you are welcome to stay, if not, there is the door!

This thread is for people devoted to the loyal crusade against the dark arts!

EDIT: You too LilithSlave, only the righteous may post here!

I'm afraid I can't do that because that would mean abandoning MY crusade against stupidity.

This is one of the reasons why sites with reputation systems are good.

so people who you dont like can be voted down, making their posts more likely to be ignored and thus taking out all the fun out of the thread.

its a Double-edged sword....

IMO its the best option despite this flaw, (but really, if you don't like someone then you can just neg them for the post that you didn't like, and get over it. The notion that people are going to neg someone a bunch of times for one post by them that they didn't like is unrealistic IMO).

If there's one thing that you don't need to worry about, its reputation points taking the fun out of the internet.

 

[Philol]

Oh, I have plans for this thread. So many bitterly ironic plans >

Heretic! Stop the heretic before he succeeds!

 

[BathorysGraveland]

IT IS TIME! For me to don my black robe and arise as many ancient threads as I can, and bring them here to prithee against thy good-hearted subjects, as much as possible before that dreaded banhammer sends me back to the netherworld to plot and scheme once more.

(Mods, I'm joking)

 

[Macgyvercas]

No no no no no. If the archangel of hope is going to come back, that means to continue my craft of necromancy, I must retreat to the wilds of Kessig. Why must you bloody cathars ruin my fun?! I don't want much, just to take over Thraben with necro'd threads.

*Context: I went to the Avacyn Restored prerelease today, and I run a red/black deck. So this response seemed funny for the thread, since I have little problem with thread necromancy.

Wait.... what..... I was supposed to be the bad guy in this thread...... well in that case, I take my Cthulhu and will train him in the dark arts of thread necromancy..... MUHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[katsumoto03]

I shall join you men in your righteous cause!

 

[iAmNothing]

I honestly don't see why thread necromancy is a bad thing. Surely if a thread has been created then its sole purpose is for it to be read and added to over time? Admittedly if it's a current news thread from years ago and someone brings it back then it could be annoying, but if it's a discussion that someone's missed then I think it should be alright if they contribute to it (albeit a tad later than everyone else)

 

[Snotnarok]

You don't.

You think about something and you use the search bar

Once you come accross the opinions of others, you read them.

Heaven forbid you have your own opinion on a subject! Or opinions several months/years ago are no longer valid!

Because Necroing a thread makes you scum. And repeating a thread gets your throat slit. Unless, naturally, you are repeating a thread about all the fucking necroing/repeat threads. In which case you are a stalwart pillar of the community.

Welcome to the escapist, I'm sure you'll find that doesn't work here and when a game gets released there's 42 threads per day about why said game is dumb.

Look up Modern Warfare you'll find at least 30 asking why people like it. When black ops 2 gets released there'll be 15 more.

I wasn't asking about forming my own opinion like anything with 2 braincells and a bran muffin in it's skull I can do that, but if you want to talk about oh say Diablo 2 and the last thread was a year ago. Well necroing that is out of the question and making a new post will probably get you "use the search bar"

But I'm sure this really comes down to, does said person care because either way they'll get yelled at for it.

 

[Fieldy409_v1legacy]

Fools. Killing a necromancer will only make him more powerful!

 

[Lunar Templar]

You have my sword!

You have my The Winchester.

You have my Izukan's Shocking Guilding Sword of Greed.

ya'all are going about this all the wrong way.

we're dealing with the undead, thus, we should arm accordingly
