Reviving Old/Dead Topics

Don't.
I really don't know why people do it, and it's simply annoying when someone does - it has happened numerous times in the past, yet every recommendation of "do not revive old topics" gets ignored somehow.
Answer to all of life's problems: if the last reply on the topic you want to post on is, hell I don't know... more than 2 months old (and especially if it's more than a year old), DO NOT post on it! It's as simple as that.
Why you need to revive an old topic to ask a question that could just as easily be asked by creating a new topic is beyond me, so let's do everyone a favor and not try and dig up dust that's been shoved under the rug.
Thanks to all that will read and actually listen to this plea/recommendation. For those that don't... well, you'll hear it again (most likely not from me) that you shouldn't dig up old topics. Stormtrooper Corps

so we're in agreement that revival of dead topics is punishable by death?  Heavy Weapons Specialist

Heh, I feel that this was directed at my old post in ComNet Updates. A mod can go ahead and delete that. I am sorry about that, I wont do it again.

A lot of people don't feel like "spamming" a board when there's a topic already out there for a question. |

Just spam then. :P
I don't find it necessary to go back to a previous page to find a similar topic (or a topic that's on the bottom).
Anywho - yeah... just make a new topic. Stormtrooper Corps

You know that's like contradictory to every other forum i'm a part of? :P
In those places it's like "before asking a question, look for an older thread to see if it's been dealt with there".
