Please, plese don't post in topis that are beyond page 2 or so. It's called necrobumping, it's annoying, and unless you have somthing really, REALLY REALLY, interesting to say, don't post in them.
Er, first of all, to clarify, I believe you mean beyond page 2 or so on the list of topics in the forum, NOT a thread that is more than 2 pages long. And of course there are exceptions to this "
rule"
for the Hints and Solutions board where it is preferred to have fewer posts for the same room.
Still, I don't think you need to come down so hard on this, zonhin. After all, if someone does necro a thread, they get complaints about it, but if they post a new thread similar enough to an old one, they get complaints that they didn't do a thorough enough search. It's a lose-lose situation, because--go figure--everyone has different opinions on how the forum should be organized. Which is why there are no official rules on the matter...I doubt any of the other admins really think that we should strictly police this kind of thing.
