I was just wondering why people are offended when people post in old topics? What's the reason behind it? I would think it would be good to keep informative topics up so that you don't have to repeat yourself. Often people gives in depth responces at first, and each time they answer the same question, they give less and less info.

I voted #2. I don't know why people are so annoyed by it, but if thats how they feel then fine, don't do it.

Well...
It's really annoying if someone bumps a topic saying something like "bump!" or "bumparoniiii!" (thats gamefaqs for ya)
If someone bumps a really old topic yet has something interesting/important on it, I don't find it so wrong.

I could understand not liking someone simply posting "bump", but is seems everytime someone simply posts in an old topic that they are offended and say so.

I hear people saying "stop" creating topics that have been posted before, but when someone posts on that old topic, they get mad. Its a crazy world we live in.

Yea that's bothered me, I couldn't agree more. Most of the time that's accompanied by someone saying go check the faqs. I get where they are coming from, but some people don't want to be spoiled by the faqs, or want a person's opinion. Maybe the faqs weren't clear, or they couldn't find something. What's the point of a gaming message board if all questions are simply answered by "go read the faqs".

I don't know why people get angry over stuff like that, why don't you check the faqs and find out?

If you have something informative and intelligent to post, even if its the oldest tread in the forum, post. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. If you are going to post something dumb to bump a post that is spam, and we all hate spammers.

As long as the person actually has something to say, posting on an old topic is fine. But the minute I see a post that consists entirely of the word "bump" that post is going to be deleted and the poster warned.

Some old threads are forgotten, so resurrecting them would almost make them "new" topics, wouldn't it?

So lets come to a conclusion, and have final boss add it to his board faq in the TO section, the board with the most n00bs.

Speaking of n00bs, you don't see a lot of them that post in the general board and say "hi" anymore
