That would be nice.

Oh yeah I forgot Cookies existed. You can just bump threads with that. Okay, maybe, instead, old threads just auto-sage no matter how many posts it gets unless you give the thread a cookie, then maybe the auto-sage timer resets (but gets lower because the thread died once already)

Ok i'm a dumbass wtf does it mean to "sage" a post

post without bumping the thread

it's useful for giant sites like 4chan with millions of people but useless for sites with like ten users like ours

nas doesn't know what *crag*ing sa-gay is? hahahahaa oh wow

lord crump you forget new users reply to every single topic made ever in the history of the site for some reason

yeah that's what I said in the OP. crump read the thread before you reply to it man. It's not for us it's for our local retards.

the thing is, the amount of new topics and the difference between acceptable time limit and necropost is inversely proportional

i haven't been here much lately but it doesn't seem like we have many new threads (due to our lack of activity), so if a thread is really old but only a couple of pages back (or on the front page, for many, many of our boards), i don't know if it's as big of a deal. We get alot of stuff resurrected on the Digital Butterflies board especially because no one posts there anymore, so you can't really blame the new users for not checking the tiny, grayed-out post-date; they probably think our site is a happenin' pad, what with all the individual message boards we have

in the end it's either we delete everything and have a really empty site or deal with having ancient threads

At first I didn't think that, but with the flood of 7 year olds we get now thanks to cumchugga we get necro posts all the time now. Which is why I think we should require cookies to bump old threads. We never reply to their stupid posts anyway, so why should we even be aware they posted it?

so how old does a post have to be to be a necro?

I'll put it at 6 months

Really? I'd consider a post dead after it's been pushed off the first page of topics

b-but shadoo-kun, what about the archive?

oh shit you're right

i do think it's a good idea, just need to work out the details

if you're gonna do this make sure you keep that cookie bump so I can necro shit for nostalgia purposes

*CRAG* U NIGGER
