D&D 5E Why do people care when threads get necro'd?

[Ancalagon]

I find it slightly amusing when somebody replies to somebody 16 years in the past, but it doesn't bother me any.

and some of us are still here

I don't mind when it's relevant, but I do point out if someone's replying to a person that hasn't been on the board for a decade, or they rez a thread with a really inane/useless response.

The latter one is what I found baffling.

So some person, in 2007, decided to start a threat about what character they should play next. The thread dies after a few dozen responses.

Then in 2021 someone pipes up and say "dwarf fighters can be fun*". Really? You dug up a thread from over a decade ago, that has clearly "expired" and that's why you did it? Why were you reading a thread from 2007 in the first place?!?

* edit: dwarf fighters can be fun! But there is not creativity in the suggestion. It's like someone said "have you tried cheese on a pizza?"

Because you're not the boss of me! Dwarf fighters can be fun! Besides, I just learned that they are, like, twice as fun if you play them with a Scottish accent, and I absolutely had to share that.

To quote Free Games Movement activist Jack Weinberg, "Don't trust any thread under 14."

I wanted to add a P.S. to the post but got distracted. But let me repeat myself, something that I never, ever, ever, ever, ever, do, and restate:

Of course dwarven fighters are fun. But it's like suggesting cheese on pizza, or noting that most kids seem to love candy. Everyone knows that!

Did I mention I never repeat myself?

Wait, you think that Dwarf Fighters are fun?

Well then I need to necro a thread to reiterate that Dwarf Fighters suck!

All the same. Just a bunch of bad characters, wandering around, trying to approximate a bad Scottish accent and pretending they have a drinking problem. "oooh.... you have an axe and dislike elves? QUELLE SURPRISE!"

Dwarf fighters are the bane of D&D.

Use your divination- YOU KNOW WHO I AM.

Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

Thread drift isn't a bug with me; it's a feature.
