Well, since Hilda doesn't want to get on anyone's bad side i guess, let me show some "evidence" instead:
Take a look at this topic
A topic from 2012 was revived for some time because someone asked about the episodes names. That topic is still important, because it has the name of the episodes, and that's important for people interested in the game. That topic can be revived again because that topic doesn't have an "answer". a.k.a the game is not finished, so if someone asks about episode's 14 name in there, it can be revived again.
I could revive that topic asking "what the name of each episode is based in?"
But, i want to show somethign else. A better example. Here.
yes hilda it's your topic
That topic is not old, ofc. Last post was in September 22th, so it's whatever. But what if someone post on this topic, let's say... in 2017? Would that be necroposting?
i don't think so.
The reason for that it's simple: That topic has no "answer". It's a topic where anyone can post as long as it relates to the original post (On that case, posting your tendencies in pokemon games). And those are the kind of topics that are most accused of necroposting.
With that being said, i really like the way you pointed out the "bad topics" to post in. It's a good topic and hopefully, can clear some confusion in the future.
I can't be a hypocrite though. When i was in the staff, i've locked so many topics for no reason, it wasn't funny. I guess you just learn to deal with some stuff...
