So, it is Thread Renaissance or Thread Necromancy?

What's the proper term for a "revived" thread?

Stemming from Ranger Wicketts ever-changing title on his thread is general, what does EN World think: when a thread is revived (no pun intended or implied) would you say it has arisen from the dead, or reborn again?

What do you generally call it, in other words? Necromancy, Renaissance or something else?

According to the dictionary.com, Renaissance is TOTALLY wrong. Why? Cause it's upper-cased.

(lowercase) a renewal of life, vigor, interest, etc.; rebirth; revival: a moral renaissance.

Personally, I never really thought of that word as pertaining to anything but the period in time called the Renaissance or the Festival that celebrates that time.

So, thread Necromancy all the way. :)
 

Every reply is legit.

I can't wait until this thread comes back years later...

:cool:

I've never heard of 'thread renaissance' but it seems to me that it should depend on the quality of the thread.
 

If it has become relevant again, or someone has something constructive or intriguing to say about the topic then I think it is all good.

Otherwise, it is just obnoxious (esp. if several old threads are revived at once), in which case the mods take care of it with extreme prejudice. ;)
 



I've never seen the word "Renaissance" used in connection with the practice of posting to an old thread. "Necromancy" is the only term I've come across.
