Awake, My Unthread Minion!

[Galethorn]

Bugs me just a tiny, tiny bit. Upon logical examination, there isn't any good reason for it to, other than, perhaps, the strange feeling that the resurrector, some upstart interloper, has just rudely broken an ancient silence with a raucous cry of "hey, I like X too!", which, while a compelling mental image, isn't giving the resurrector the benefit of the doubt which most strangers deserve.

I predict that this thread will eventually be necromanced.

I hope it is. I'd laugh my tail off if I see this thread some time in 2008 with a single post added that says, "I think it's a bad idea."

Did this thread just get pre-honged?

I don't mind it, if only because if it's more than a year or so old I'd have missed it the first time round, so it's new to me.

I think it depends on how you view message boards

1. Entertaining Conversation
2. Rules/Information Repository

If it's a question like: What do people think of psionics? then it's really been talked to death, the original poster could easily just re-read old threads. But for them (and a lot of people on the boards) it's the interaction and discussion that's important.

EnWorld, is, relatively speaking, very "chatty". There are few people who respond to oft repeated questions with "use search n00b".
I like that but it's also partially a community-thing.

Doesn't bother me, as long as it as it is done tastefully.

 

[Olaf the Stout]

As long as some new and useful information is added to the topic then it is ok by me. If someone is deliberately resurrecting a thread just to say "Me too!" then it bugs me a little.

Thread necromancy is fine but I hate threads about whether it's fine or not. But threads about threads about necromancy are good. But threads about those threads are bad and wrong. Etcetera...

 

[EyeontheMountain]

Frankly, it doesn't matter to me, a new thread or an old old thread, same topic.

Sometimes it bugs me, sometimes it freaks me out, and sometimes its cool to see stuff coming back from the dead. The only time I really get irritated is when someone necromances a 'Hey, what should I do with my next session" type question a year or two later.
