There is nothing wrong with necromancy

This. If there already exists a thread on the topic I want to post about, why wouldn't I use it instead of creating a new one? This "idiotic necro" shit is just an excuse for Bitch Crispy to keep being a nuisance to everybody.

Thread necromancy is a made up problem invented by control freaks in the early days of the internet. The same type of dorks who tried to get you to read little e-pamphlets about "netiquette". I've had it up to HERE with net nannies and their inane preferences regarding anonymous online correspondence.

What's wrong with people continuing old discussion?

Don't blame Crispy for that, those passive aggressive thread splitting messages are all me

It apparently causes anal fissures for Shilltroon.

I personally don't mind necromancy, but you get more longterm activity on a social forum if members keep starting new threads about the same topic again and again.

Also necromancy makes it harder for moderators to see if a new post is "on topic" without re-reading the whole thread (not sure why being on topic in an old thread is so important though?).

On topic or off topic is almost never a reason for a split. I've reported a couple of times wishing for a split when something's completely off-topic, like something akin to discussing bike rear derailleurs in a CPU/GPU thread just to keep the thread readable, but the answer's always been, "it's off-topic yeah, but harmless, so it'll stay".

Splitting and retardoing necros is completely agenda driven.

Is that why Infinitranny was infamous for obsessive thread-merging a short while ago? First every new thread had to be merged into a single thousand-page gigathread, now every post made in an older thread must be split.

If you make a post on any topic that has been discussed at some point in the past, you're guilty of "vile necro" if you post in an existing thread, and guilty of "thread-spamming" if you create a new thread.

Is there any way to win?

Just an fyi Infinitron retardos all news post necromancies no matter how on topic they are. Any other retardoing/thread splitting has to do with you being retarded.

Good? See unlike a faggot like you I don't want a man to take my other honor. Way to put in that 2020+ retarded new fag energy into every post.

Threads used to be much better in the past, so it only makes sense to feed on the old ones.

No idea, I wrote about forums in general. Haven't been here long enough to notice any patterns yet.

If the new posts are considered low quality maybe a moderator doesn't want to pollute the good old threads with them (this goes especially for pinned threads)? Conversely, if someone makes good posts in a low quality thread, maybe those good posts could be salvaged and split into their own thread.

That's just Lathanderian propaganda.
Necromancy is same as healing just a bit too late.

There's only low quality posts at codex.
