Have you ever accidentally necroposted?

Yep. I think it's stupid that I have to create a new post on the same topic just to express my view. The topic may have been created some time ago, but it might still have relevance. I prefer recycling. Plus, my blunt opinion is that "necroposting" is just an excuse to moderate people and exercise authority.

I've literally just had to google necroposting!! I had no idea this was a thing, and I still don't really understand why it's bad? Doesn't it just mean that someone's found an interesting post that they feel is relevant enough to want to comment on, which saves starting a whole new thread on the same thing?
I think I must have necroposted, and not even realised it had a name... or that it was bad... :/ Every now and again I get hit with the thought that I'm getting old! :# :D

I don't think I have, but might have been replied after someone else did. I usually post only on recent discussions.

If I'm about to post about something I always end up searching if someone already did. But also when I search something, I look how old those are, and don't reply on old ones if I want to read them.

But then again, what is considered as old? In forum rules there was example about 2 years or something.

I think that an year old could be still ok, depending of topic of course, but for someone else it would be too old. I think that it really depends on topic, because some older posts could be still relevant.

It's really easy to do if you get to a thread by googling a particular question, and just don't notice that it was old.

I don't think it counts if it's your own thread...

Other than that, I don't think I've done the necroing, but I have posted in threads that were necroed by someone else. Sometimes they'e interesting topics, so why wouldn't you want to join the discussion if it becomes active again?
