Looking for a mutator...

But I see a problem... with reviving dead threads.
It was the third time I thought " Uh cool a new thread !" ...but I was disappointed, as I could see it was a dead thread again where no one of the original poster will ever answer again.
to make it short old threads are something between now and 6-8 month ...I think this is ok.
But everything older is a dead thread and should only be exhumed with an update (link is broken here is another one) and not a bug report or small talk because the original poster will not answer.

My opinion

Not only your one. I fully agree. I am sorry if you (Hook) dont agree in this point with us, here I allow to quote NeoNite from beyondunreal (just fits perfectly):

You know.. moderator?

Otherwise we still would have Kaal here around with his BS spamming. The rules here on this forum are anything else than tough.

"EvilGrins" has a last chance to say something important to this topic (in case he has something he still wanna tell here), otherwise I contribute an other "locking" to his "locking-trauma" ( ) of threads.

Never said I disagreed with this, just said if a reply, even to an old post, is Relevant, than it should be allowed.
In other words, if there is some good use or a good comment.
What is the harm in it?
Some people are new here, and some old threads could be important to them, as in this case with a reply from a newer member.
Do what you want but that is my opinion, and the opinion of most people I see in UT.
I do not think that the mere date of a post or thread has anything to do with relevancy any more than the date of a truth written in history does.
If it is relevant, and is still true today, so be it.

I really dont want to repeat myself and papercoffee already explained it well. Sure, necrobumping is not any crime, but it is annoying to read bumped threads only because users are not watching the posting dates. Maybe moderators on other forums dont handle this point so strictly, but we prefer to keep the forum clean in terms of arrangement of posts. We have not invented the necro-bump issue, so we are not doing anything new which has not existed before somewhere else. This is not a discussion about a map or politics thus not really a topic to debate. I can not say it more clearly: Sometimes you have to accept the moderators rules even if you dont like them.
It does not look like anything important comes anymore on the topic, so... my evil self strikes again.

If it is still relevant, then I don't see a problem with replying to old threads.

What paper said... its reviving old topics/threads and stuff... if there will be added usefull info i wont mind it at all... but its "necrobumping" with more then 1 useless word for this. I see this as necrobumping
