For instance, if you bump a thread about Keep on the Borderlands after it's been dormant for 6 years, it's not that much of an issue because there haven't been too many major, relevant updates to the module in that time. And after all, one of the major benefits of this message board over Twitter, Facebook, etc, is that it's a better medium for long form discussion. But if you posted a thread about Weapon Sizes in early 2003 and it was necro'ed 6 months later, it would be very relevant to call out the necro, because Weapon Sizes rules changed in the 3.5e release that just came out.Which is a long way of saying: expect thread necros to become a bit more noticable and relevant in the next year or so, as people tag into old conversations and there's a little confusion about what rules people are discussing. And the naming BS does help at all.</blockquote>
