Bumping Threads in History/Lore

Anestacia · 11-08-2012, 12:02 PM

I noticed that a mod just locked a thread quoting "dont bump old threads." Have I been wrong for the last 8 years in assuming that History/Lore forums actually welcomed bumping of old threads when new questions/info arise? I know it is frowned upon in other forums for obvious reasons but history is always relevant so I am not quite sure why it matters.

Considering these forums are going to all be locked come tommorow anyway its a moot point, however it would be nice to have an OFFICIAL reply on this going forward into the new forums.

This what they PM to me which I find RUDE I was asking a question about a old topic since I've been gone from the game for a while, instead of starting a new one I posted in old one so I wouldnt hear the same info that was posted in the past but that is wrong as I was told. I PM 2 Devs and nothing it seams since VHalen left lore taken a crapper.I left game when he did came back for a bit left again due to poor answering of question by DEVs, and im back again within 1 week Devs allready put a bad taste in my mouth. They need to find VHalen and pay him aything he wants to come back in my opinion.

Mitharius,

I know it's been two years since you last inquired about Lionheart Castle, but the answer still stands.

Your other thread: "Order of Marr crusade"

It's always been my understanding that the prohibition on necro-posting has never been applied to the History and Lore forum. This is to prevent having two dozen threads on the same subject

I know I got a good laugh out of that mod locking the thread. I guess several threads covering the same subject is better than necroing. lol

Yeah I also saw that and thought it was very, very weird.

Plz allow necro-posting in this forum, given the nature of 'History and Lore' section.

+1 for being able to necro threads in this section.

It's the equivalent of dusting off an old tome or searching the archives for a newspaper. What's the harm?
